בּוֹר שֶשָתִית מִמֶנוּ אַל תִּזְרֹק בּוֹ אֶבֶן Adina Broder
A pit that you drank from…
… Don’t throw a rock into
Why not?
If something helped you… You should be nice to it And not mean to it.
Since the water saved Moshe For example: Since the water saved Moshe when he was a baby…
Moshe wasn’t the one to hit the water to bring the makkot Moshe Aharon
This teaches us the middah of: הָכַּרַת הַטוֹב Recognizing the good that is done for us = Appreciation
Of course, Even more important than appreciating an object… We should appreciate the good that people do for us
אַל תִּזְרֹק בּוֹ אֶבֶן בּוֹר שֶשָתִית מִמֶנוּ אַל תִּזְרֹק בּוֹ אֶבֶן A pit that you drank from, Don’t throw a stone in
