If we adhere to the Mitzvot of the Torah and appreciate its wisdom, we will be “fortunate in this world and inherit the World to Come.” We should remember that the vanities of this world, while not evil and, in fact, beneficial when indulged properly, nevertheless do not endure beyond our earthly sojourn. Together with her mother, Yocheved, she defied the genocidal decree of Pharaoh against Israelite male newborns, bravely stood watch over little Moshe and boldly convinced Pharaoh’s daughter to let her find a Hebrew woman to nurse the Jewish baby. He said, “Master of the world, bring us out from [this] suspicion.” Immediately the Holy One, blessed is He, opened the [burial] cave and showed him [Aharon] to [the congregation] for them [Moshe and Elazar]. In fact, one of the interpretations of the verse in Bereishit 1:31, “And G-d saw that it was very good,” is that it is a reference to the day of death (as mentioned by the Ramban (Nachmanides)).

Those of us who cherish Chumash and assiduously seek out its wisdom for guidance in all areas of life tend to become emotionally attached to its great heroes. He was their hero, whom they felt would live forever, and as long as they could sustain that belief, they need not worry about mortality at that moment. He was to remove the vestments of the Kohen Gadol (Chief Priest) from Aharon and place them on Elazar, thereby appointing him to succeed his father. Moshe doesn’t actually die here, but

Chukat 5778/5786 Death by the Kiss Rabbi Reuven Mann, ZTL Edited by B. Silberstein The Passing of Israel’s Great Leaders This week’s Parsha, Chukat, is the saddest in the entire Torah. Those of us who cherish Chumash and assiduously seek out its wisdom for guidance in all areas of life tend to become emotionally attached to its great heroes. They are our mentors and role models whose noble behaviors we seek to understand and emulate. Thus, there is a certain sense of loss when we encounter the death of Miriam, who played such a monumental role in our history. Together with her mother, Yocheved, she defied the genocidal decree of Pharaoh against Israelite male newborns, bravely stood watch over little Moshe and boldly convinced Pharaoh’s daughter to let her find a Hebrew woman to nurse the Jewish baby. She also led the women in song and dance to give praise to Hashem for the splitÝng of the Red Sea. As if her passing were not enough, the lives of her brothers, Aharon and Moshe, also come to an end in this Sedra (Torah portion). Moshe doesn’t actually die here, but his fate is sealed along with Aharon’s because of their sin at the Mei Merivah (Waters of Contention). It should be…
