Who Stole My Cookies?

Monday, October 12, 2009

By Chana Weisberg

A fresh batch of delicious--but forbidden--cookies... A few mischievous and hungry children...

Is the combination of these two ingredients a recipe for disaster?

Or a precious lesson in the baking...?

A Sin By Any Other Name...

Last week we read that the generation of Noah was destroyed precisely because of the sin of thievery. By rewarding her children for taking something they know is not theirs this mother is going against Torah teaching. I find it disheartening that Chabad, who I hold in the highest esteem, would sanction and promote this type of behavior.

to MISSING THE POINT

when a parent SPECIFICALLY calls in the children to make it very clear that THIS should NOT be touched and then they turn around and PLAN on how to go against the mothers words, that should not go unnoticed. The mother could tell the father/friend that she was impressed with their unity, but to them they should know what they did was very wrong. If it they were planning on taking cookies when, in general they weren't suppose to take without permission that's a different story, but in this case the mother took the time to explain to them that 1. it's for something special and 2. they should not take it
