In shul yesterday I was reading Rabbi Sacks’ commentary on the parsha, and
thought of my recent experiences at the AJL. He is talking about Moshe at his
lowest ebb, in the depths of despair, and Sacks writes: “The precipitating
cause was seemingly slight. The people were engaged in their favourite
activity: complaining about the food.” About their slavery in Egypt, “All they
can recall is the cuisine.” They had experienced the revelation and the
Tabernacle, and they also had food – they had manna. Their complaint about the
food was that it was boring. “They had reached the spiritual heights but they
remained the same recalcitrant, ungrateful, small-minded people they had been
before,” Sacks writes. So maybe things really haven’t changed so much over the
millennia, if that’s any solace.
