[Avodah] r reisman's question

[Saul.Z.Newman at kp.org]

Rashi says a second Pshat. (דבר אחר שלא יאמרו ישראל בשביל אחותו הוא מאריך 
בתפלה, אבל בשבילנו אינו מאריך בתפלה). Nobody should think that Moshe 
Rabbeinu Davens more for his sister than he Davens for anybody else. 
Therefore, Moshe Rabbeinu chose to Daven a short Tefilla for his sister. 
I don’t understand this. The Halacha is Hakorov Koreiv Kodem, one is 
obligated to help a person closest to him first. You may know many people 
who have an illness, if Chalila your sibling has an illness you are 
obligated to do more for her more than for strangers. Kol Hakorov Koreiv 
Kodem, whoever is closest is first to receiving Chesed. Therefore, Moshe 
Rabbeinu should have Davened a longer Shemoneh Esrei to teach Klal Yisrael 
that for your relatives we have to Daven more. Here Moshe Rabbeinu did the 
opposite he Davened a shorter Tefilla. Tzorech Iyun Gadol!
