When Delay Becomes Leaven
Rashi on Matos: Moses acts with immediacy and joy. The shiur reads that alacrity as the measure of love — and delay as its absence.
Rashi records that Moses went to war with immediacy and joy the moment he learned his death would follow the victory. What one loves, one does not delay. The Sages read that immediacy as the signature of love — the alacrity Rivka shows at the well, the alacrity Abraham urges from Sarah.
The distinction is Ramban's. Reverence keeps a person from crossing a line. Love drives a person toward it. Reverence is a wall. Love is a motion. The rebuke in Deuteronomy 28 does not punish transgression alone. It punishes the absence of joy — service completed without the drive that would have made completion inevitable.
The shiur closes on the Chofetz Chaim. At ninety, he could not remember whether he had blessed his glass of water. He attributed the lapse to inattention when the blessing was said. Age was no excuse. That standard is the one the parsha is asking a reader to consider.
