In the Third section of the Chumash / Book of, Devarim/ Deuteronomy, Moses continues his second farewell address to the Jewish people.
Moses warned the Jewish people, “Take care less you say to yourself, “it is my own strength and the might of my hand that has accumulated this wealth for me.”
Children often surpass their parents in many ways, even though they inherited their talents and abilities from their parents. The reason being as they lay dormant in the parents and only become active in their children.
Similarly, G-d calls us His “children”. He has left it up to us to bring the world to completion, granting a measure of power that He has relinquished. Hence, when we accomplish something that helps bring the world closer to its ultimate fulfilment, we might mistakenly ascribe this accomplishment to our power alone.
Therefore, the Torah reminds us that just as children owe their superior powers to their parents from whom they inherited them, so we should recall that we owe all of our talents to accomplish great things in this world exclusively to G-d.
With our continued prayers for an everlasting peace in Israel, and the safety and security of our brave IDF soldiers.
