In Parshas Chukas, we encounter a significant event in the life of Moshe Rabbeinu and the Jewish people during their journey in the desert. It begins with the death of Moshe’s sister, Miriam. Miriam had been a source of inspiration and leadership among the Israelites, and her passing marked a moment of mourning and loss for the community. Following Miriam’s death, the well that had miraculously provided water for the Jewish People throughout their desert sojourn disappears.
