Last Thursday, 25 high school students celebrated the relationships they established with seniors at The Medallion through Better Together over the last two years. Students, teachers, Medallion residents, friends, and families were also invited to watch the premiere of a student-made film, documenting the amazing Chesed done this year by our students, to bring more meaning to the lives of the Medallion residents.

In this week's Parsha, Beha'alotcha, Moshe says "Stand and I will hear what Hashem will command you." Rambam tells us that Moshe is unique among prophets in that only he could speak to Hashem whenever he desired. Because of this distinction it is surprising that Yehoshua declined Moshe's offer to answer any questions for him before Moshe passed away. As a consequence, Yehoshua forgot 300 laws and became murky on many other ideas, and once Moshe had passed away there was no longer a way to clarify these laws or ideas on his own. R. Yaakov Kamenetsky suggests that Yehoshua should have deferred to Moshe's knowledge of what he needed, as his teacher.

"Traveling the World"
Over the last two years, RMBA high school students and Medallion residents have been forging meaningful relationship through frequent inter-generational programs. This year, students have been planning the programs themselves with the theme of "traveling the world." At our last Medallion event, freshmen Jeremy Morgan and Jake Teller planned a Texas-themed art project and trivia competition for the group of over 40 high school students and Medallion residents.
