Good morning! Today we explore a profound blessing from Moses to the tribes of Zebulun and Issachar. Zebulun, the tribe of trade and commerce, is encouraged to rejoice in their endeavors as they journey overseas, making their mark in business. In contrast, Issachar, the tribe of scholars, dedicates itself to studying Torah and guiding the Jewish people with wisdom.
Their partnership exemplifies the essential relationship between those who create wealth and those who elevate spiritual learning. Moses emphasizes that Zebulun's success directly empowers Issachar, as their contributions allow the latter to focus on Torah scholarship. The blessings highlight the importance of appreciating one's role, whether as a businessperson or a scholar, without envy for the other’s path.
Moses's blessings extend further, recognizing and strengthening the weaker tribes, signifying that every contribution counts in the fabric of our community. Let us remember that every role, whether in commerce or scholarship, contributes to the greater good and sanctity of our lives.
