Acts of Contrition

What is contrition and why does it matter?
Did you notice in the previous conversation on this blog that I said that other jews only donate to this charity for contrition.  That was no type.  You may have thought I meant contribution. 

G-d is very careful how he directs our peoples in this world.
In the bible, Moses does not ever enter the land of Eretz Yisrael.  He is buried outside the boundary limitations of Israel in Moab at Beth-peor.

What other reasons besides the fact that Moses in the words of the bible did not follow Hashems Commands on route to Israel was Moses required to be buried in a place outside the land of our fathers?

I will suggest to you that Moses's burial in a different land was really the act of contrition.
True G-d gave us the land that Moses lead us to survive and settle; but in fact, by going there, we had to displace other peoples.  I suggest to you that having our leader not embark upon the same grounds is in fact contrition that our people must remember that removes the evil from our presence that will be encountered if we settle in a land that is by use in the possession of another people or other tribes of human beings.  This does clearly not imply that Moses was in any way evil. He was a high and foremost perfect in almost every way servant of our G-d.  G-d did all of his work for the future of our Nation through Moses.

But in truth, Moses never sets foot on The Land of Israel.  He does see it from the mountain top Mount Nebo.

So think contrition when you see a people exhumed from their situations.  Today, I recognize that our people here in the Nation of the United States of America are in a situation where we have just invaded a previously sovereign nation of Iraq and Afghanistan.  G-d is truly our protector and I do believe that these events were in some way foretold if that is a possibility.
G-d however, must be absolved of the audacity that he would suggest that armies of the righteous nations befit a campaign in another person's soil regardless of the overall situation of perceived threats and over all considerations of true justice.
