Shnayim Yomi - Devarim - Sheni - #2 - Rabbi Joey Haber - What Makes a Great Leader?

What does a great leader look like? In Sheni, in paradim, we get the answer because Moshe Raenu approaches Hashem and he says, "I can't handle it. the people are too much and he asks for people to that he can delegate his leadership to he wants people that are and known to I want to focus on and for a minute says are righteous people a real leader has to be a good person who's governed by values and righteousness and holiness. And then they also have to know the people. They have to understand what the people are about, what they're thinking about, what's on their minds, what their struggles are. Because if you're just too holy, you're not going to understand. But if you're too understanding and not holy enough, you can get pulled into the mud. If you're able to have the balance of anashim and you're doing then you become an awesome leader. But the puk also says two other words. Rashi explains what's the difference between and we always say it's two different types of wisdom. Rashi in this puk has a different explanation. He saysim are wise people that sit at home and you come to them. Rashi explains is like a merchant who goes out to sell his merchandise. And I think Rashi is showing us that there's two different ways to lead. There are some types of great leaders like Raay Keski who you he's in his home and you're coming to him and to hear his words of wisdom and holiness. And then there are some great leaders that they go out to the people and they interact with the people and they come to events in order to be able to sort of sell their merchandise and sell the they have people. They bring people closer. So in this whole sheni what's happening in this whole day is rash pasuk is talking to us is what great leaders look like how there have to be people that are not biased they have you have to take heads you have to give them the proper respect they have to be delegated to have the right levels of responsibility his focus is on what makes a great leader and having people to help him in his leadership of the Jewish people but the criteria We just gave you a righteous and understanding. And there's two ways it could be done. By being at home and I come to the leader or by being on the road and the leader comes to us. That's how Amy is became the greatest nation ever with the greatest leaders that the world has ever seen.
