Moshe Rabenu As The Ultimate Leader

hi everybody Rabbi ruen kigle from EMT Outreach So today we're talking about mosha rabenu mosha our Rabbi our teacher and the leader the greatest leader of the Jewish people ever had so now the Torah and its Brilliance only slightly hints to what made moshu worthy of being the leader of the Jewish people and we're going to discuss the things that made him be that leader and see if we can apply it to our own lives so the Torah very concisely discusses moshe's life when he was younger and all of the sudden then he sort of comes in on the scene with Hashem talking to him at the burning bush and then the next three books of the Torah next four books of the T actually are all devoted to moshu talking to the Jewish people and talking to Shem and bringing everything to the Jewish people and bring the Jewish people out of Egypt so now what made him this leader what were his equality trait so let's take a look this week's Torah portion we see that Moser when he sees a non Jew being mean to Jews he sees a non Jew being mean to Jews that's an injustice so he can't stand for such Injustice so he does what he has to do uh even saying some words that killed the non-jew in order to protect the Jew now couple days later mosu goes back to the fields where the Jews are working and he sees two Jews being mean to another to being mean to one each other so what does he do he immediately stands up for the person who is being uh being uh sort of taken advantage of why because as a leader not only are you going to stand up when other outside people are harming your people but also even when there's infighting amongst your own people you will stand up and fight for justice in that situation also now this is very very hard to do because as we know when there's infighting amongst our own and then you get in the middle of it no one likes you and as a leader you have to be willing you have to be willing to sometimes ruffle some feathers sometimes have people not think so highly of you in order for you to do the right thing so that was the second incident that that even when there was fighting amongst Jews our leader mosenu was able to say you know what this one is right this one's wrong and I have to stand out for justice even if it's amongst our own people the next incident we see sheth's daughters who have being mistreated by some random Shepherds now both neither one of these people moshu knew and at the same time he realized you know what there's an injustice here and strong men are trying to overcome Young weaker ladies cannot be so he stood up for that incident as well and then finally the midrash tells us that how did moshu even get to the burning bush where Hashem spoke to him well one of his sheep that he was uh guarding in the flock ran away and he saw this little sheep ran away and he realized oh the Sheep just needs some water and he went to catch the Sheep so even in relating to nonhuman beings a sheep he doesn't say oh whatever it's a sheep we can lose it he cares about every single thing every single animal or human being that he is in charge of so what does it take to be a great leader first of all if anyone's coming against your people you have to stand for them stand up for them you have to stand up for your people if your people are fighting amongst each other you have to say who's right you have to be able to take a stance even though it's going to be painful it's going to cause definitely a lot of backlash and when even people who are not so related to you who you don't even know so well if you see any Injustice you have to stand stand up and make sure that the strong do not take advantage of the weak and finally even when you see animals nonhumans and they need something you have to be willing to do everything you can in order to help them out and that's what it takes to be a great leader it's not enough just to say oh I'm worried about my own family or I'm just worried about oh those outside people to be a great leader you need to be worried about the outside people your own family and even and even not human beings because that we are all hashem's creations have a great chalice
