A sermon by Rabbi Raanan
"And the Spirit of the Eternal Shall Rest Upon Him": Traits of Leadership
"The spirit of the Eternal shall alight upon him: A spirit of wisdom and insight, A spirit of counsel and valor, A spirit of devotion and reverence for the Eternal. He shall sense (smell) the awe of the Eternal..." (Isaiah 11:2-3)
How are we to identify traits of leadership that we hope to bestow to our children? Isaiah prophesied that through history we will be able to historically identify a series of repetitive and confirming truths. For Jewish memory, the Eternal’s redemptive acts constitute one such truth, and the source of hope. The festival of Passover is one of many ritual occasions when this truth and this hope are publicly celebrated (Etz Hayim p. 1316)... read more here
