Did a Copper Snake Heal The Children of Israel?

What would you do if you ran into a poisonous snake while hiking?

Panic? Freeze? Run?

In Parshat Chukat, The Children of Israel  were attacked by fiery serpents—and Hashem told Moshe to make a copper snake and place it on a pole. But it wasn’t the snake that healed them. It was their focus.

When they looked up—to God, not to the object—they lived.

Rabbi Bentzion Kravitz, founder of Jews for Judaism, reminds us: God uses many tools to get our attention. But don’t focus on the tool—focus on Him.

Whether it's a snake, a struggle, or a strange situation—look higher.
