The Request of Reuven and Gad
297 views
The request of the tribes of Reuven and Gad in Parshat Matot-Masei is more than just a real estate negotiation—it’s a profound lesson in responsibility. 🤝 By committing to fight alongside their brothers before settling in their own land, they showed that even when our personal needs are met, we are still responsible for the community as a whole. #parshathashavua #torah #torahstudy #torahshorts #torahlearning #torahportion #torahcommunity #torahdaily #weeklyportion #hidabroot

The two tribes Reuben and Gad came to
Mosha [music] with a special request.
They saw that in the area east of the
Jordan where they were, there was
excellent [music] land for grazing
cattle and sheep, and these tribes had
very large herds. They said to Mosha,
"We want to receive our [music] portion
here, east of the Jordan River.
Don't make us cross the Jordan."
Mosha was very angry.
He said [music] to them, "Your brothers
will go to war and you'll just sit
here?"
But the [music] tribes explained to
Mosha, "No, we're not trying to run away
from the war.
Let us build [music] cities here for our
children and enclosures for our
livestock, and we will go ahead of the
entire nation into battle.
We'll [music] fight until every tribe
receives its share, and only then will
we return here."
Mosha agreed, but on condition [music]
that they would go out to fight first,
and when they won, they would return to
their place. [music] The tribes
promised, and Mosha divided the land
among them.
