The Israeli army is based on the maxim “My strength and the might of
my hand made me all this wealth.” The fallacy in this mistaken faith is
proven time and again. Before completely recovering from one blow, they
are struck again. But when Am Yisrael is smart enough to attribute their
victory to Hashem, they create a kiddush Hashem and are exalted by the
entire world.
Two tribes requested portions outside the borders of Eretz Yisrael, east of
the Jordan. Moshe was greatly angered by this. He rebuked them for
wishing to dwell in peace while their brothers fought bloody battles to
conquer the Land. Moshe’s message to the generations is that we must all
feel mutual accountability toward each other. Those who reside in chutz
la’aretz must pray for the redemption. While the soldiers fight physical
battles, the Torah scholars must involve themselves in the battle of Torah.

We are guaranteed that Yerushalayim will be restored to its former glory.
Since the Beit Hamikdash was not destroyed forever, we will never find
complete consolation, thus we constantly bemoan the churban.

Before hearkening to Hashem’s word, one must humble himself like the
heel of the foot. Only in this manner can he observe Hashem’s word and
merit the geulah.

“This shall be the reward when you hearken to
these ordinances, and you observe and perform
them; Hashem, your G-d, will safeguard for you
the covenant and the kindness that He swore to
your forefathers”
