The people who demanded a chance from Moshe Rabbeinu to bring the Korban Pesach merited a whole Mitzvah to be added by God in their honor.<br /><br />I see the same spirit in people who actively seek out opportunities to do Mitzvot that they'd otherwise miss, including people who make Aliya (especially those who did so before the modern yishuv and state got going), people who raise donkeys in order to do Pidyon Peter Chamor, the people who searched for the chilazon and now manufacture techeilet, the Temple Institute, the new "Sanhedrin," etc. I hope that we merit to see God rewarding all such efforts in kind, with increasing opportunities for all of us to fulfill the entire set of Mitzvot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
