Boundary-Making (with "Messiah Morsel" After Sermon)

We learn this week how "me" is balanced by "we."

This week's parasha "Matot/Maasei" continues our learning from the situation of the daughters of Tzelof'had. Last week, his orphaned daughters asserted their rights, and God backed them up. This week we see them learn from God that their rights had limits, and needed to be exercised factoring in the overall calling of the nation and the needs of their fellow Israelites in their tribe, in regard to their own personal desires in romance and family-building. [After Sermon ends, there is a brief "Messiah Morsel" explaining an important text-artifact in this week's Torah Portion in the overall span of Messianic prophecy.]
