Parshas Va'eschanan

Liyluy Nishmas Elchonon Tzvi ben R' Yisroel Menachem.... In perek dalid posuk mem alef the posuk says, "Az Yavdil Moshe shalosh arim b'eiver hayardein" "Then Moshe seperated three cities on the other side of the Yardein"  The Sapurnu says, the "az yavdil Moshe" "then Moshe seperated", is referring to after Moshe had explained the Torah to Klal Yisroel. Moshe seperated the cities at this point to show Klal Yisroel how important doing mitzvos is, that he was going out of his way to do only a part of a mitzvas aseh (because until all the arei miklat were established, none of them worked, and the remaining ones were to be set up later in Eretz Yisroel). The Rosh Yeshivah asks, obviously Moshe was extremely busy, he was spending most of his time teaching Torah to the entire Klal Yisroel. Did he really need to put aside his Torah learning and teaching to teach Klal Yisroel how important
 mitzvos were? Why can't he continue what he is doing and just give powerful, fiery shmuessin on the greatness of mitzvos? He explains, that the Torah is coming to teach us the famous lesson that actions speak louder than words. You can talk about somethings importance from today until tomorrow and it will have an effect, but it does not come close to showing with actions. Moshe Rabeinu took the time to perform his part in setting up the arei miklat in order to show Klal Yisrael how chashuv mitzvos truly are. We should always keep in mind how powerful our actions are, and the affect they have on other people.. Good Shabbos
