{"Image DocumentName": "What was so unbearable that drove Moshe to ask for death?", "Image ImageDescription": ". What was so unbearable that drove Moshe to ask for death? Nu 11:14, I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me. 15And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favour in thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness. If you are a parent, then you know how maddening it can be when your children are whining and complaining about all manner of trivial matters! Sometimes a spiritual leader is in a similar position, but with many more children, and apparently that is where Moshe was at. The next time you are tempted to complain about the condition of your life, health, your experience, your family, your workplace, your congregational family, or even your rabbi\u2014think about this Torah portion and Moshe. The cumulative burden of: complaining for the sake of complaining. expecting everyone else to work out a solution. never volunteering to be part of the solution. or getting your hands dirty to lighten the load or make things better. was enough to put the most humble man the earth had yet seen, over the edge. There is a difference between bringing legitimate problems forward and complaining. There is a huge difference between murmuring and reaching out for help or brain storming for solution to a problem! (Someone who can never accept advice, is murmuring.) We need the freedom to talk about real problems that can be fixed, but we also need to acknowledge that murmuring and complaining come from a totally different source.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
