And neither, arguably, has our frustration with those who seem to choose death, rather than life. We can understand the frustration that drove Moses to almost the breaking point with a people who simply seem to be unteachable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, as we stand on the brink of what is probably the most deadly, most treacherous, most exciting, and perhaps even most important in all of human history, there is a tremendous message of HOPE here as well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&#8220;Beha-alotkha: You Want MEAT?
