Why here? Why now?     This morning, we explore a remarkable insight from the Zera Shimshon. Miriam and Aharon certainly knew Moshe was greater than any prophet. But perhaps they believed his greatness came from his position as the leader of Israel rather than from his own merit. The Torah's answer is profound: Moshe's greatness was not despite his humility—it was because of his humility. The highest prophet in history was the man with the lowest ego.   ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/parsha-with-rabbi-david-bibi-4336127/episodes/why-moshe-s-humility-made-him-the-greatest-man-who-ever-lived-behaalotecha/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/parsha-with-rabbi-david-bibi-4336127/why-moshe-s-humility-made-him-the-greatest-man-who-ever-lived-behaalotecha.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
