Always, insightful! When one becomes a parent, one becomes a leader! There are productive ways to rear a child, and less so! I have no fear, you will do well! Shabbat Shslom, and hugs and love.💙✡️Zeta
Hi, Adir. Another wonderful writing! I have an additional theory, if I may, and this relates to a baseball story, too. When my oldest was in Little League one spring, his coach was a blend of your two coaches. He was tough and made them go through tough practices (sliding practice!). I think he was partially punitive, but also wanted success. But another thing happened. One day in the middle of the season, there was a game and he was not there. I asked his wife how he was doing (was he ill?). No, she said. He was at the race track, betting on the horses! I was furious! I had no problem excusing a coach from a game (after all, he is a volunteer - I coached youth soccer for several years and get it). But to go to the track! And, in fact, he never showed up to another game for the rest of the season. A few of us parents split coaching duties for the rest of the games.
So, it's one thing to be a leader and give direction (positive or negative) to a group. But a leader has to "walk the walk", too, and be a respected person. Moses, with his anger and other issues, had become a less than good role model, in fact, inviting people to rebel against him. It's not just how to lead, but how you conduct yourself, too. God must have seen this in him, too. Thank you.

Wow, that is a wild story. I can't believe he was doing that!
