Parshat Chukat: Miriam's Silent Greatness

Parshat Chukat This Week: Like walking through a forest where all trees look the same until one falls and reveals its true enormity—that's how we discover greatness. When Miriam died in Kadesh, the very next verse tells us the water disappeared. For 40 years in the desert, one woman's faith and merit sustained an entire nation, and nobody fully realized it until she was gone. How many 'hidden giants' walk among us today? Your teacher, your neighbor, that quiet person in your community—they might be sustaining more than you know. And here's the beautiful truth: you might be someone's hidden giant, too. Don't underestimate your impact. One person really can change the world. Shabbat Shalom. 🌳
