must have been weary." He
carried the kid back to the
flock, whereupon, God says to
Moses, "Because you showed
such mercy, you will in time
tend my flock Israel," the
Midrash says.
This sedra continues with
the miraculous story of the
burning bush where the
Divine Manifestation comes
to Moses to redeem Israel.
Moses saw the flame of fire
coming out of the midst of the
bush and behold, the bush
was not consumed. God
taught Moses a lesson from
that burning bush. From even
a humble bush, the power of
God was present.
When God told Moses he
had to go to Pharaoh, Moses
said, "Who am I that I should
go to Pharaoh that I should
bring the children of Israel
out of Egypt?" Moses had fled
from authority, from honor
and a court position with
Pharaoh. But when God told
Moses he had to go and speak
to Pharaoh, he remonstrated
three times, "Why me?" Each
time God showed him so that
he was convinced. He had
never been a man of words.
Still, though Moses pleaded
to have someone else be God's
messenger, Moses yielded. He
knew he could not refuse God. -
Moses becomes the
liberator of the Jewish people.
Moses, who had witnessed
God at the burning bush,
began a new era of Jewish life
and history. ❑

THE SCARY YEARS: BEING A PARENT IN THE 90's —
RAISING YOUR OWN PARENTAL SELF ESTEEM
This seminar is designed for all parents who want to help themselves in the difficult task of childrearing. Three experts will join us for a panel
discussion. Parents will have the opportunity to share their childrearing concerns with each other as well as with these outstanding leaders in
their field. Raising children in the 1990's presents difficult challenges unlike those faced in previous generations. Please join us as we hear about
the problems that our children are exposed to in society, learn about better ways to deal with these problems, and hear what role Judaism can
play in meeting these challenges.
