Some thoughts about Moses

 If only we could all be inspired by Moses' humility. In a generation where we all vie for the headlines and even the bylines, Moses is prepared to have his name blotted out from the greatest "book" in history, the Torah, in defense of the Jewish nation. It is no wonder that Hashem chose him to be the deliverer of His precious Divine teachings and commandments. Moses had no ego. For a person with a demanding ego makes no room for God: the law of physics says that two things cannot occupy the same space at the same time. We must learn from Moses and work on making room inside ourselves for God, for our fellow Jews and indeed for humanity. We can be a light among the nations, just as Moses literally shone, if we'd only stop blocking the light with the adoration of "me, myself and I."
