Ari Goldwag - Shemos - Voices of Redemption

you're listening to the weekly partial podcast with our eagles back recorded with a shell never ending assistance in ramat beit shemesh israel 5777 2017 this week's parsha is partial shamone the beginning of the book of Exodus we has a story of Moshe rubino of Moses the Torah description the life and times of the Jewish people in their time in Egypt as they were slaves and how a sham instructed Moshe a note to come and to redeem the Jewish people now I'd like to focus in on a very specific point in the parsha very interesting point beautiful magician that speak about the relationship of Moshe and our own two brothers Moses and Aaron God speaks to motion says go and speak to path to power of the Pharaoh emotions as I can't do it I can't speak I have a speech impediment Hashem says don't worry I'm going to send you along side your brother our own and it's very interesting to observe their relationship throughout the Torah but very specifically in our car chantels motion you have to worry I want to send you to be the leader to be the Redeemer of the Jewish people to be mushy ask the Messiah of that generation and Iran is not going to be jealous of you aren't is going to be happy for you and we see a remarkable thing that besides the Russian telling Moshe to go back to Egypt in order to redeem the Jewish people we also see vibration mrs. in chapter 4 verse 27 my number has shown our own God spoke to Aaron Aaron was also prophet and he said lake lacrosse Muhammad bar I want you to go out to the wilderness where Moses is as he's coming in I want you to go out to greet him the verse finishes off viola my Cherie guajardo Kim are you chuckling he went he met him at the mountain of God meaning he went to hearts United to Mount Sinai where in the future God would give the Torah to the Jewish people and he kissed him very very interesting the Torah tells us about this interaction between motion aaron speaks about their love speaks to us a command of god who are and to go out to the wilderness where moshe was he speaks about the kiss now listen to these amazing adduction hidden within yzma josh from our amazing beautiful deep ideas that I'd like to share with you it says like this FML our lake lacrosse measurement water measures quotes the verse that we just said although this is measured says like this this is what the verse means insertion in A Song of Songs chapter eight verse 1 it says me ten clock ockley would that you would be like a brother to me speaking about the love of Hashem to the Jewish people and halle by Hal of I we wish that we could have that that brotherly relationship and the measure she wants understand not every brotherly relationship is necessarily a good relationship made it acha khasa my daughter what kind of brother are we speaking about in terms of a kind you find a brotherly relationship which wasn't so good Cain and Abel box if I up in carmell have an occupier gay we find that brothers can kill each other integrity schmolli is cook what about you smile and Isaac Hayden has such a good relationship as well they were brothers so garcinia schmoll son Elias we find that our house i'll explain the stories were going on between you and yourself as being stories of negative interactions in comer que celiac I've speaking about a sub in jakeb Hoke see if I used to may serve as the awkward we see that their relationship wasn't good either int America aki is safe what about the Brothers of Joseph voxxi values move away so the verse tells us but they hated him as well looks like our new black off first furthermore says that they were jealous of him ello so if you want to know what kind of relationship are we requesting the Jewish people are asking if God be like a brother to us it's referring to the relationship of brotherhood between someone like Joseph and Benjamin their relationship was pure love yonex should they e me as a verse refers to these brothers as two people who suckled at the same breath they had the same mother and therefore their relationship was a unique and special relationship now we need to understand as they say Jose points out that binyomin never actually suckled from his mother's milk because Benjamin as he was born his mother Rachel passed away so but we refer to them in this way because the fact that they were both from the same as the exploit now it's important to understand that what is the idea behind us that they suckles from the same breast what is that idea what is the depth of that idea we'll see soon but it's very connected to the following that we see the metro systems besides for Benjamin and Joseph besides for their relationship being an ideal brotherly relationship we also have another relationship commercial Irene we have the relationship between Moses and Aaron shamima the verse tells us how Yale applies cachet behar like him by Yi Xiao Qi he went out the mountain of God and he kissed him so he see that there was a special relationship between them but what's interesting here is that when it comes to Moses and Aaron what is the thing that binds them it's not the fact although it's true it's not the fact that they both chuckle from the same milk but rather it's the fact that they kissed each other the measures goes on to speak about different kisses and what are the real kisses which instances within tanas refer to proper types of kisses motion are are an example of a proper type of kiss type of kids which represents a true relationship which represents something real the end of the message says something amazing about this kiss the verse also says in she Reshiram in the song of songs em taka buckets as chakra which literally means I will find you outside I will kiss you so the measures directions the aether core which outside are we speaking about by mid bar we're speaking about the place which is outside of the regular inhabitation which is a reference to the wilderness mawkish Anushka octane is Alyssa moisture Erin the place where God finds us or the place where we find God so to speak is out there in the wilderness in a place where Moses and Aaron kissed now I want to understand what is the idea of this kiss what is the idea of the measures that says that if you want to meet God if you want to find God or you want God to find you you need to go to that place where Moses and Aaron kissed what is the idea of that and also how did the connect to yo satyam in yemen that brotherhood that they experience which is described as yay make sure they e me that they had the same common place where they suckled and receive milk how do these two ideas connect so before we answer these questions I'd like to direct your attention to another mojesh which is a little bit farther on but it's also based on this path look we're in parsha hey and we were just reading from the first section now we're going to skip to the ninth section where it also quotes the same verse so emotional are in lake lacrosse money shot with Laura God spoke to Aaron and said go out scream OSHA in the wilderness now the measure success here something amazing and I'm going to share it with you out of order because the mesh well oftentimes quote a verse which the magic wants to use for us teach you something different in regards with something else that's along the same lines that has a similar idea and then come back up but I'd like to first start with the teaching that has to do an hour verse and then bring it back to the other teaching with the minute which the measures brought along the way how though they say the major says this is what it says in a verse in job chapter 37 verse 5 yaron killed the Calina Floyd God with his voice shall Thunder out wondrous things what are these wondrous things that God thunders out what's the wondrous about God's voice so to speak so the end of the measure she says like this I'm removing removing said shush I mahakaleshwar coulomb I should be Midian when God spoke to Moses when he was still in Midian and he said let's show mr. imma I want you to go back to Egypt necklace a devilish Nicholas this statement of God broke down into two separate voices vanassa do partisan and has two different phases where my shoe show me abou Midian Moses was back in Midian and he heard let's shoot mr. i'ma hear the words go back to Egypt at the same moment the iron Shania Aaron heard the same voice but it says something different it said lake lacrosse Muhammad borrow go out to Moses into the wilderness has a yahren killed the color in the floyds this is the meaning of the verse which speaks to the thunderous voice of God which does wonders the Wonder is the amazing thing is that God can say one thing and clearly we need to understand what this means but God can say one thing one undifferentiated statement and two different people well here at the same time that statement and understand how that statement affects them and what they are meant to do moshe will hear go to Egypt Arnel here go meet Moshe in the wilderness now here an amazing thing the measure says that this is not the only place where we see that Shem spoke in a way which was undifferentiated and different people heard different things we find this out there over a vehicle nervy evidence said oh yeah how Cully I'd say this is speaking about in regards to another giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai when God gives a Torah so it wasn't just received by the Jewish people the Jewish people were not the only ones who had a spiritual revelation at that time to the vehicle and I akali I'd say the voice came out the netflix assuring comics it was split into 70 voices machine love shine 70 languages today sheesh Mahal Agra mice so that all the nations were here we call it uma uma Hamas convolutional uma each of the different nations would hear in their own language what was going on in spiritual revelation now the Jewish people received the Torah received a spiritual revelation in a different way in the nations of the world and after she sang Yates's when it came to the nations of the world when they heard this revelation their souls went out of them they were unable to withstand it of all you throttle you shouldn't know how your new zeichen the Jewish people could hear it and they weren't damaged by it Kate said how you call us a very similar language to what we saw before in regards to motion our houses voice come out i'll grab akuma akuma said do park soon honey I'd say would come out in two different ways two different phases are you yet leave a hard like the of him it would come out and kill the idol worshippers those who didn't have the ability to receive it should like get blue huh they had not received at all right like we know the famous meh Jewish that God went around to the nations of the world and ask each one of them will you receive the Torah they asked them what's written in it etc they weren't willing to receive it they weren't able to receive it so the tour itself its spiritual force caused them to die it's not clear if this is literal maybe it's referring to the Egyptians the death of the Egyptians or maybe it's because they feel it explains it's not literal as perhaps virtual death but the idea is they were not able to receive it the knows him kindly throw but the same voice which destroyed the nations which destroyed the idolaters the Jewish people heard it and it gave them life shiki Lewis attire because they received the Torah and the message goes on to say that each person received the Torah whether it was an adult where there was a child whether it was an elderly person whether it was a man whether it was a woman whether it was Moshe Robin himself each person received that voice they heard that voice they heard that sound that spiritual message it was tailored to them a heard it according to their very own way according to their car according to their spiritual ability so Hashem spoke with a certain voice a Shem said a certain all-inclusive type of statements and each person heard that which applied to them and each person received that which they could receive also very interesting and I don't want to get into the set length but it's very interesting that the measure says that the manna had the same characteristic the month also it was a food that it had an all-inclusive taste and depending on the individual depending on their status depending if they were exotic where they were young or where they were old the the Torres a few different descriptions of the taste of the month and each of these different descriptions it depended on the person who is eating it in the same way as this voice comes out and is heard differently so to the food of the manor could be tasted differently depending on the individual and their ability to receive and as we read this when you understand what is the idea of this voice what is the idea that there's one sound there's one voice that it's heard by two different people differently what is that idea what is the message coming to teachers also how does it connect why is it being common saying worse as we learn all the ideas that we spoke about in regards to the cast in regards to the Brotherhood of motion our own what is the idea what is the connection so I just want to read one more piece from the same address which also has you read it it's difficult to understand at first but there's an amazing depth to what's being taught here by our house all it says like this mahu yarning what is the idea that God thunders with his voice he's wondrous thing because should not call this Brooklyn satire vecina when God gave the Torah at Mount Sinai Harry the coil is really flowing with God's voice he expressed the Jewish people unbelievable things Kate's out what does this mean or how to dis occur oh yeah I'll kodesh more comic da bere God would speak I'll call you sir the voice would come out Omaha cervical Harlem and it went around the entire world you saw showing us a cobol a man died during at first the Jewish people heard this voice coming from the south so you Rustin ledermann they ran through the south the Kabbalistic oil in order to receive in to accept this voice we done meth off limits offline but then instead of coming from the south when they got there it starts to come from the north while you rot too much suffering so then the Jewish people was so anxious to receive to hear the voice of God they ran to the north I mean softly in that Papa misra but then when I got to the north so it starts to companies well you wrote on the middle the Jewish people rancid East we missed an epic line Lamar of again after they got to the east it switched and it started coming from the west or you Ruxin tomorrow's they ran to the west I mean I'm arithmetic lemon ostrom I'm all of a sudden is switched from being in the in the West to coming from the heavens or you plainly name and then I looked up to the heavens or never but all rights then it came from the earth when you have eaten RS and they look down on the earth shanna Mars the verse says this is environment Deuteronomy chapter 4 verse 36 when I show mine ish miyako is colorless wrecker God sends out his voice to be heard by you from the heavens in order to test you or you still alive until Isaiah and so after this whole entire situation after running here running they're trying to hear God's voice so the Jewish people were saying to each other rockland my int muttering which literally means from where will we be able to find wisdom but it also means may I am the word may I in which means from where can also be translated as from nothingness hold on to that thought well you sell I on a hike on a college bar coolbaugh and so the Jewish people were saying where is God coming from in a miss Rockham you nadaram is different is it from the south Chanel show me see tybo the verse refers the fact that God came from scene I the Zurich may say you're a long way but then it speaks of the fact that God he shines his light from failure so it's coming from different directions with silica means a minus avoid the verse lacava Cook says that God comes from tame on which is south so it seems the Jewish people were confused you know trying to hear God's voice through running this way they were running that way they couldn't figure out how they could hear God's voice we couldn't figure out where I was coming from where is the source of God sound very perplexing meddra Sh what is it teaching us what is the idea what is this depth of this that God's voice comes from one direction person from a different direction from the four directions from the heavens from the earth what is the measure saying what's the depth of what this measure is trying to teach us so in looking at the whole picture here of what the mesh is going to teach us I believe that what we're seeing here is that there's a spiritual revelation God is about to redeem the Jewish people God is about to reveal himself not just in the redemption but also in the giving of the Torah the purpose of the redemption from Egypt was really that they should come to Mount Sinai and should receive God's revelation received the Torah which would serve them for all time as a bridge between the Jewish people and God it would make that connection so the subject here is God's revelation God's Redemption relationship with God how does one enter into a relationship with God how does one access the redemption has one access the revelation both on a personal level and on a national level so let's look carefully at the Midrash them and go through it and see an amazing amazing depth that the measure she's teaching us first thing that we spoke about was the Brotherhood we spoke about ye o Satan binyomin we spoke about the fact that they nurse from the same milk and we spoke about motion are and their kiss and the depth of what's going on here is that two children were born from the same womb to children who suckled on the same breast means that these two people been Yellin and yo or motion Erin share a common destiny share a common root and that route is so deep that route is so special and it binds them so tightly that they're true brothers that can never be hatred or animosity between them there's only love that love is expressed by the second big both suckled from the same milk and interestingly the same act of suckling that same motion that same movement of the mouse is what we see when we mate when we have a kiss the kiss represents the fact that i want to receive i want to receive i want to show the unconnected to you so I get my child of kids that shows I am connected to my child two brothers kiss that the message of the measure she is that when the brothers kiss it shows that they are both receiving milk sustenance spiritual guidance from the same source they're both connected to the same purpose motion are and our brothers they serve God they serve the Jewish people as the team also with Miriam which I'm not getting into now but they are the team which brings about Redemption a sham works through them to bring about redemption now notice as the measure said that where does God connect to the Jewish people where do we find daughter where does God find out outside bahu what is the idea of outside that's the place of kissing it's a place where motion hour and kiss important to understand why did I xem have to send iron outside to the mid were to the wilderness to meet Moshe there why couldn't he have just received him greeted him in Egypt there's something amazing here and that is that in order to access this place this route this this place where I'm kissing I'm receiving God's light I'm receiving God's message I'm hearing God's voice speak to me hearing my personal role in God's plan where does it happen it happens when I step out when I move out of my regular place when I move out of the inhabitation when I remove out of all of the things that distract me from the truth I need to step out and and just like motion Aaron in a certain sense they were born in the same womb which was a place where they were separated from the world yo SI manana also has that aspect stepping out is the place where it's possible to kiss kissing represents the receiving the willingness to receive like the baby suckling that's possible when we step out now let's look back at the second marish where we see that there's an undifferentiated voice the same voice which God really says God's really saying I want Redemption to happen now so now moshe here's go to Egypt iron years go greet your brother in the mid bar to the same voice it's the same transcendent voice to voice which is outside which is which is the voice is Kyle Lohse the voice that includes many different statements and many different people will hear different statements depending on who they are but it depends on their readiness to receive and as though we see from the difference between the Jewish people and uma solemn and the ugly kahan the idolaters they were not able to receive they were not willing to receive they hadn't puckered up so to speak to receive that milk so the milk spilled all over their faces it ended up destroying them they weren't able to receive it the Jewish people had prepared themselves to receive it but the question is how does one prepare themselves to receive the amazing voice of God the awesome thundering voice of God and I believe that the first part of the measures which is the last one that I shared with you is the secret to receiving to preparing to receive and that is Hashem speaks to us from many different places that's what the major should sing first day here in the north and you're in the south and the yearning the east in the west from the heavens and earth what is this confusion what is this God is just sending them on a wild goose chase no that's not what this legend should saying much is the thing that God speaks up from many different directions God sometimes pieces from here sometimes God speaks us through a good old I Tyra through a great tour a giant sometimes II speaks up to a regular person sometimes he speaks to us through nature through our experiences but God's voice comes from many different places and the Jewish people were willing to run wherever they believed they heard God's voice from now it seems like God is so this beginning them the runaround quite literally but that's not true the fact that they're running to receive is what makes them open to receive it wherever it's going to come from sometimes it will come from this direction sometimes it will come from that direction and ultimately they say about my main int mot say that the wisdom can come from nothing it doesn't just have to come from any direction I can also be static I can be sitting in my place and God will direct me as well but that's only possible after I've run in every direction and by the way if you think about it this is the idea of the lulav I'm not going to get into it at all but the Lula we also put we move it in each of the different directions always bringing it back to the center this idea as well being willing to do God's will running in any direction in order to try to receive what God wants to give to us the act of moving that little back and forth is receiving opening myself to receive the Jewish people were open to receiving and that's why each one was going to hear what God wanted to say to them God said a general statement I want a relationship with you and each individual heard a different thing what is my special relationship with God look like what is my special Mitzvah that's precious to me what is my elegant are my portion in the Torah that's special to me what miss Esther can I learn that I relate to that's going to be when I come after 120 i'm going to say god this is the most secular this is attracted at a comrade that was special to me this is what my relationship looks like with you what is that voice are we ready to hear it are we ready to run in any direction in order to hear god's voice are we open to receive if we are we will receive and we will get exactly the message we're supposed to get god's voice will come down in an undifferentiated form but will be differentiated for us as individuals and we will know if we are seeking we will know what are individual purposes and what our relationship with God looks like but only if we're willing to receive and how is the difference between the Jewish people and the idolaters who are not willing to receive we're not willing to be open who are not willing to change that's Moshe rubino that's Aaron they kiss each other there's no animosity between them they don't they don't see anything but their own purpose they don't look at the other person and say oh I wish I had what he has they're brothers they come from the same mother from the same woman they suckled from the same milk they recognized that each one of them had a special role to play had a special taste to bring into the world had a special role in the divine plan in his plan of redemption and there was no room there was no necessity so there's a any anger or jealousy there was no place for that that's the true Brotherhood and that's the brotherhood that we ask of God we ask please God kiss me please God show me what you want for me I'm ready to kiss you my god I am ready to receive I've puckered up we're ready to receive the milk I'm ready to receive the guidance i'm ready to hear your voice I'm ready to eat that manner and taste whatever taste I'm supposed to taste to have my relationship with you God which is unique to me and to have my relationship with the world to manifest in the world something which is unique to me and I don't need to look at anybody else some should blessa such them should help us to understand the depth of this teaching assumption help us to have that kiss have that love have that recognition had that willingness to receive has that willingness to run in any direction in order to hear God's voice shrim should help us to indeed hear exactly what it is that he wants from us every day thank you so much for listening have a wonderful shabbos this podcast was made possible through the
