Torah Portions Through the Eyes of Our Scholars
Volume 7

In this fascinating lecture based on the work HaMedrash V’Hamaseh, Rabbi Wein discusses the character trait of humility as it manifested itself in Yehoshua, the closest disciple of Moshe and the one who would lead the Jewish People into the land of Israel. This discussion is a lesson in leadership and how one must know when to use ones inborn traits for the good of the people and when they must be harnessed. The lessons learned will serve as a guide for all generations and in all circumstances.
