At Mount Sinai G-d stretched Israel’s capacities to the limit. Her senses turned upside-down, her reality turned inside-out, it was Israel’s unconditional embrace of the new role that G-d assigned her as caretaker of the universe, that gave her the strength to withstand the unbearable closeness of her encounter with G-d and make it through the Sinai rendezvous.

Torah takes great pains to emphasize Moshe’s humanity in this week’s Torah reading. Yes, the great savior of Israel, the man who would speak with G-d face to face, was just that – a man, mortal and fallible like the rest of us.

To trust and to trust not. Total trust must exist between a true leader and his people. This is the lesson that G-d choreographed using Yaakov’s final words to his children and Moshe’s initial concern over whether Israel would receive him.

When Yaakov asks of Yosef “Who are these?” it is not because his eyes are dim or that he does not know Yosef’s sons intimately. It is because in his prophetic mind’s eye he see the boys’ greatness in the future redemption of Israel, which is taking place today. His words are not a question but an exclamation of sublime joy and approval.
