Rabbi Moss Question of the Week
Question of the Week:
Random question: why is it that all kids love getting Band-Aids? Even when there doesn't seem to be any visible injury, my kids ask for a bandage and say it feels better immediately when it's put on. Why is this?
Answer:
Band-Aids are not about Band-Aids. They are about reassurance.
Your kid is saying, "I fell over. I hurt myself. Am I going to be ok? Will I get over this? Will I ever get better? And most importantly, do you still love me after I made a mistake?"
The bandage is a symbol that represents fixing up my blunder, repairing my imperfection, healing my hurt. When you give a Band-Aid you are saying that all will be fine, I still love you. You can sometimes achieve the same effect just by kissing the sore better, or giving a loving hug. The Band-Aid is just a hug in miniature.
That's why we have the festival of Sukkos right after Yom Kippur. We spent a day fasting and praying for forgiveness for all of our mistakes. After that, we may feel a little bruised. So we are invited into the Sukkah. The walls of the Sukkah exude holiness, warmth and love. As we sit in the Sukkah, we experience a divine hug.
We have got up from our fall, and as we heal our wounds, G-d embraces us and tells us that, despite our mistakes, or maybe even because of them, we are loved. Because there's no one as lovable as a sweet child showing their parent their sore finger, asking for a hug, a kiss, and a Band-Aid.
Hug Sameach,
Rabbi Moss
Parsha in a Nutshell
Exodus 33:12-34:26
G‑d agrees to Moses' request that His presence only dwell amongst the Jews. Moses requests to be shown G‑d's glory. G‑d agrees, but informs Moses that he will only be shown G‑d's "back," not G‑d's "face."
G‑d tells Moses to carve new tablets upon which G‑d will engrave the Ten Commandments. Moses takes the new tablets up to Mt. Sinai, where G‑d reveals His glory to Moses while proclaiming His Thirteen Attributes of Mercy.
G‑d seals a covenant with Moses, assuring him again that His presence will only dwell with the Jews. G‑d informs the Jewish people that He will drive the Canaanites from before them. He instructs them to destroy all vestiges of idolatry from the land, not to make molten gods, to refrain from making any covenants with its current inhabitants, to sanctify male firstborn humans and cattle, and not to cook meat together with milk.
The Jews are commanded to observe the three festivals — including the holiday of Sukkot, "the festival of the ingathering, at the turn of the year." All males are commanded to make pilgrimage to "be seen by G‑d" during these three festivals.
The maftir, from the Book of Numbers, discusses the public offerings brought in the Temple on this day of Sukkot.
