4. After the war against Amalek- Shemot 17:8-13


            For some reason, I don’t know for what reason, these Amalek dudes come out of nowhere and start fighting with us at Rephidim.  W hat did we do to upset them?  Well anyways, I told Joshua to get some men and fight them.  I didn’t go down to the fight because I knew I had another job to do, plus I’m too old to be fighting in wars.  I noticed that when I raised my hands, we would prevail, and when I put them down, we would start losing.  So I sat down and got two people to help me keep my hands up.  I felt a little bad that I sat, for my initial plan was to stand.  But here’s the cool part, I figured the neat hands trick on my own.  G-d didn’t even have to tell me, pretty cool, huh?  And Joshua did well, and weakened the Amalek!
