Why Moshe’s Humility Made Him the Greatest Man Who Ever Lived - BeHaalotecha

 Why does the Torah suddenly stop in the middle of thestory of Miriam and Aharon speaking about Moshe and announce, “And the manMoshe was exceedingly humble, more than any person on the face of the earth”?Why here? Why now?     This morning, we explore a remarkable insight from theZera Shimshon. Miriam and Aharon certainly knew Moshe was greater than anyprophet. But perhaps they believed his greatness came from his position as theleader of Israel rather than from his own merit. The Torah's answer isprofound: Moshe's greatness was not despite his humility—it was because of hishumility. The highest prophet in history was the man with the lowest ego.
