Yasher Koah to Moses
Reading Deuteronomy 34:5-12
Moses dies in the sight of the Promised Land. There is 30 days of mourning.
34:10 No other prophet like Moses has arisen in Israel, who knew God face to face.
34:11 [No one else could reproduce] the signs and miracles that God let him display in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh and all his land,
34:12 or any of the mighty acts or great sights that Moses displayed before the eyes of all Israel.
The interpretation is sometimes read as “strong hand” and “awesome power”
Rashi - before all the eyes of Israel Moses was inspired to break the Tablets of the law. And then God said: “Yasher Koah”, literally translated as “go with strength”
At the end of Torah you reflect on the time when Moses was overcome by anger and smashed the tablets. It was a time to remember that Moses did turn away from the law but he did tshuvah and came back to do better and this is what it is all about.
Torah never dies and it carries us along with it…
