3. From Sun to Moon: A New Kind of Leadership

Rav Shlomo Katz returns to the teachings of Yirmiyahu and the ma’amar of Rav Sherki, weaving them together with the Torah’s account of Moshe, Aharon, and Miriam.Why did Moshe strike the rock after Miriam’s passing, instead of speaking to it? What does it reveal about the shift from forceful, sun-like leadership to the gentler, inclusive light of the moon?As Am Yisrael entered Eretz Yisrael, Hashem prepared them for a new kind of leadership — one that gives space for every star to shine. Rav Shlomo shows how this more inclusive, feminine quality of leadership is not only necessary, but essential, for the geula process to unfold.
