Chayei Sarah: Citizen Journalism

Moshe died in order to bring the generation of the desert into Israel. How are those connected? Through three steps, the Parashas Derachim explains the connection and also explains why we feel no special desire to worship idols but biblical generations did.

Does God take into account our future when judging us? Midrashim seem to disagree but the Parashas Derachim explains it all in a very optimistic view of life. SOURCES: Parashas Derachim, no. 4; Shemos Rabbah 5:16; Da’as Zekeinik, Shemos 5:4; Shemos Rabbah 3:4; Bereishis Rabbah 3:2; Shemos Rabbah 2:1; Shemos Rabbah 1:36; Megillah 6a
