Shabbat Nitzavim
Deuteronomy 29:9-30:20
Candle Lighting Time: Friday, September 26, 2008 6:27 P.M.
Researchers from Virginia Tech University, along with police administrators,
recently determined that distracted drivers put others in more danger than
aggressive drivers. Drivers who eat, discipline children in the backseat, or
talk on the phone are the most hazardous.
When residents in Grand Rapids, Michigan, were asked about the bad habits of
drivers that made the highways unsafe, most felt that others caused more
problems than they themselves. One woman said that she talked on her cell
phone a little, but at least she didn’t dial the phone numbers while on the
road. She concluded her comments by stating that others “aren’t following
the rules of the road . . . . They put us all at risk.”
It’s our nature to point a finger at others. The prophet Isaiah talked about
the hypocritical Jews in his era who avoided looking at their own behavior
and blamed others for their sins. “Woe to those who are wise in their own
eyes ands shrewd in their own sight.” (Is. 5:21)
Rosh Hashana is just a couple days away. During Rosh Hashana we intensify
our “cheshbon hanefesh,” introspection, to root out sin and hypocrisy in our
lives. When we don’t look at our own actions but instead compare ourselves
with others, we often come out looking good. But, as Isaiah said, it’s the
Lord’s commendation that counts, not our own approval of ourselves.
Shabbat Shalom and Shanah Tova,
Rabbi Gary Greene
