Leviticus 10:6 And Moses said to Aaron and to Eleazar and Ithamar his sons, Do not uncover your heads nor tear your clothes, lest you die, and lest He be angry on all the people. But let your brothers, the whole of Israel, mourn the burning which YHWH has kindled.
Assignment for April 10, 2010: Be careful that your emotions don’t lead you to neglect your responsibilities to those around you. Keep close tabs on your feelings this week. If you sense that anger, resentment, sorrow, jealousy, or some other emotion is pushing you away from some task or decision on which you know other people are depending, make a conscious choice to fulfill your responsibility in spite of your feelings.
Check back and post your thoughts and experiences. Next week I’ll post a new assignment derived from Tazria-Metsora.
