Zacharnu et ha'daga asher nuchal b'Mitzrayim chinam…V'ata…ein kol bilti el ha'man eineinu. V'Haman…v'hoya ta'amo k'ta'am lshead ha'shamen." (Bamidbar 11:5-8)   "And they cried…and said 'who will feed us meat? We remember the fish that we ate in Egypt for free…and now…we have nothing to anticipate but the manna!' And the manna…its taste was like the taste of dough kneaded with oil."        It's been a long journey out of Egypt, but we've finally settled down in the desert and built the Tabernacle. We've got water to drink and manna to eat – and suddenly we're…complaining?! Apparently, the manna was dull and dreary, unlike the delicacies we partook of back when we were slaves in Egypt! But how can that be? The Torah rants and raves about how delicious the manna was!        Rabbi Aryeh Royde asks – who was right? The people who seemingly equated the taste to dried carboard – or the Torah that claims it to have been a delicacy?        Both are right! The Talmud explains that the manna tasted like whatever one's heart desired. If you thought of pizza and French fries – POOF! But if you were adamant that it tasted like sawdust, well…       If the manna tasted like anything you wanted, why not just imagine it and let it be so? Why did some feel compelled to complain? Rabbi Royde explains that it's harder to have a positive and sunny outlook than to surrender and just kvetch and complain. We are no different today. It's easier to see the negative than to summon up a favorable opinion. The manna can truly taste like that steak or caramel cheesecake – but only if you change your perspective!    L'Ilui nishmat avi mori Yeshaya ben Eliezer Peretz Z"L                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    L'Ilui nishmat immi morati Tziona bat Yekutiel Z"L         L'Ilui nishmat Tehilla Yocheved bat Yehuda/Ita Minna Z"L              Sponsored as a Refuah Shelaima for Abba Pinchas ben Rivka   Sponsored as a Refuah Shelaima for Moshe Chaim ben Livsha                                                                             Sponsored for the safe return of the hostages; for peace of mind of the families of all victims; and in honor and a safe return of the soldiers defending our right to exist           Not a Member Yet?
