Parashat Matot teaches about the transition from "tribe" to "staff." From the soft branch that every wind moves, to the strong vessel that stands firm. From the person who is pushed in every direction by the world, to the person who knows where he stands. In the lesson of Rabbi Yoav Akrish The Matot-Masei story will help you understand exactly what happens to a person when they go from being "managed" to being "manager." What life is like when you are the one setting the tone, instead of being dragged along by everyone else.
