שיחת המוסר שלא היתה
מבצעירותו, גר בעל השפת אמת עם סביו בעל החידושי הרי"ם. מנהגו של הצדיק הצעיר היה להשכים מוקדם בבוקר ללימודיו. למרות המנהג הקבוע, לילה אחד ההתמדה פקדה את לימודו ובעל השפת אמת למד עד כמעט זמן עלות השחר. כמובן, הוא לא הצליח להשכים קום בבוקר למחרת. כשראה אותו סבו עדיין "מתענג" על מיטתו העיר לו בחריפות [...]

(Bamidbar 27:18-20) The Gemora in Bava Basra (75a) says that the Elders of that generation saw Moshe’s face as the sun and Joshua’s face as the moon, and said “Woe is to that embarrassment.” Rashi explains that the elders [...]

גם הצל מפיק אור
"קַח-לְךָ אֶת-יְהוֹשֻׁעַ בִּן-נוּן... וְנָתַתָּה מֵהוֹדְךָ" [במדבר כז:יח-כ] הגמרא במסכת בבא בתרא [עה.] אומרת שזקני דור המדבר היו מבטאים את גדולתו היחסית של יהושע על ידי השוואה לרבו, משה. הם היו מתארים את פני משה רבינו כפני השמש ואת פני יהושע כפני הלבנה. הגמרא גם אומרת על אותה השוואה – אוי לאותה בושה. רש"י, בפירושו, מבאר [...]

And Not A Drop More
“I would now even have killed you and let her live” (Bamidbar 22:33) Rashi and Rabbeinu Bechaya discuss why Hashem would have killed the donkey. Rabbeinu Bechaya says that this donkey would have been the “talk of the town” (pun intended) to the point that the citizens would have attributed his supernatural power of speech [...]
