Ari Goldwag - Yisro - Hearing Hashem's Voice

you're listening to the weekly partial podcast with our Eagle lag recorded with a shell never ending assistance in ramat beit shemesh israel 5777 2017 this week's parsha is precious you throw and we have the climax of the exodus we experience the Jewish people's leaving Egypt going through the Red Sea and experiencing the most amazing miracles of the exodus itself leaving Egypt but it was all leading up to receiving the Torah to serving a Shem on this mountain on heart ce9 Mount Sinai and there was an amazing experience 600,000 Jewish people that's just the man you had another 600,000 women children million and a half two million people all had amazing experience God spoke clearly to the Jewish people they all experienced an amazing revelation God speaking the Ten Commandments the Jewish people each one able to hear God's voice openly plainly clearly and i'd like to share with you a ram bond and a mesh which indicate or give us the clarity you know we hear the story we hear the amazing experience of the Jewish people and we think to ourselves wow that was a long time ago and I have no idea what that means I don't know what to put the note it's beautiful it's awesome but I can't really relate to it but the mattress and the ramen bun indicates something amazing and that is that we were all there our souls were there we all actually experienced the revelation at heart c9 the revelation of God's presence in the world individually each and every one of us experienced it Kurdish m's voice and it's something that until today as we'll see something that until today is manifesting that original sound of God's voice that we all heard then so when we listen to the partial when we hear it in shul in the synagogue or as we speak about it here we need to know that this is not just ancient history or or ancient teachings this is something that's relevant to right now to me and new today and it manifests today that ancient voice that voice which is although it seems ancient that that voice of a Shem God's voice speaks to us through our time spoke one but it speaks to us all the time so I'd like to share with you this beautiful lamp on the rambun is explaining the pasta the verse says that it's speaking of this description I'm going to start a few took him earlier a few verses earlier chapter 19 verse 18 Iceni ocean culo Mount Sinai was full of smoke with nasha are a lot of Shambo ish God had come down upon the mountain as it were in fire viola Chanel a Chanel keyshawn and the smoke was going up like a smoke of his stove the Quran collage Lloyd the entire mountain shook very much verse 19 by E coli show for holy focusing mode the sound of the chauffeur was getting stronger and stronger very strong when she is out there Moses would speak that ik me on end of a call and God would respond with sound or with a voice and we'll see about this voice that's going to be the central topic Maggie read Hashem the next verse says my ADA Channahon il shahar God came down on Mount Sinai to the top of the mountain bike rush of emotion and Rochelle Harley al moshe and a Shem called out to Moses and he directed him it seems to come to the top of the mountain la jolla Moshe Moshe went up as very interesting Moshe is going back and forth speaking to God speaking to the people and the Jewish people are not allowed to go up on the mountain moshe is the only one who's allowed to go up on the mountain itself and yet although Moshe here are certain things and the Jewish people here are certain things the Jewish people hear the voice of God they hear a direct voy a sham says a nokia Asha melaka I Amish em your God singular I'm a Shamir God each individual Russian speaking directly to them and Moshe here are certain things that there are individuals who can hear we're going to see exactly what's going on the run but i'd like to read it to you inside beautiful run bond he said like this my year National Hockey Night in Pascal apart you're talking if you try to understand the depth of what's going on over here you'll see you'll understand keisha mojado yarder heart scene I chaklala beige that God's great name came down onto Mount Sinai and dwelled upon it in the fire the houma da Baron Moshe and that's what spoke to Moses but Deaver and most of the Kalasha mishima mucoid the nun bun points out that whenever we see in this posture that I chemin speaking to Moses it uses the name you'd cave of cake which is specific specifically the name you'd cave of gay which has a certain connotation which will see exactly what that is here soon while leo lion CL across maka maka vote the Ramon tells us that emotion would come in and go out to the place where God's honor was commotion pierotti as I explained earlier the huge your opinion hurts to Allah shimla rose so the Jewish people have to be careful they weren't allowed to go past a certain point that's actually the next verse asharam says instruct the Jewish people make sure that they don't enter into a place to try to see if they try to see to try to get access to God in a way which is not appropriate for them things will get destroyed people will die somos has the capacity is the spiritual capacity to receive a sight so to speak of God will see what that means but the Jewish people themselves they are able to hear god they're able to hear God's voice or the sounds of God or the sound of what God wants to impart to each and every individual so there was an instruction to make sure that they don't try to come and see she got my tea lemonade salt lake house website because even the highest of the people of Israel the children of Israel even the greatest scholars and sages the 70 righteous ones who were just the level below motion arum they were not able to see God holy self shomal call hashemi tohe ish all of the people of Israel heard the voice of God coming from the fire and when we need to understand so reading this what is the idea of the fire what is the idea of God's great name that's coming is welling on the fire what is the difference between the way most remain oh here is that he sees it he sees the the name of God which is used as good cave of K but that's will soon see the name is used for the Jewish people is a different name the experience of the Jewish people is different than most revealing the Moses so we need to understand what is the difference bhushan mr so this that we're saying now that God's voice is being heard to the Jewish people from within the fire who shun emma is what we thought we've seen the verse it says in chapter 20 verse 15 Bariloche in Ascot Varma Allah God spoke all these manners and it doesn't use the name your cave of cake uses the name hello Kim which denotes judgment commercial emma roberts say no herim bond says it's explicitly I could like I say should say anal okay melody on canaima low Kim always denotes a judge for our Merle and our causal our sages when describing the event in describing the experience of the Jewish people they said nepean vohra shimano we heard these Commandments we heard the sarah said arose from the mouth of power guevara means power but it denotes the aspect of judgment denotes the aspect shall soon see how that manifests here what is the idea of judgment what does it mean judgment in this context / Mishnah Torah and in the varmint says in chapter 5 verse 19 casa y ahora ella debe Hashem alcohol cam it speaks to the fact that God spoke to the entire congregation by worship Irish me toca h an unbonded scenes is trying to explain that dairy uses in a nude cave of cake uses the name of rock I mean not of Guevara not of judgment but rather of mercy in speaking of how God spoke to the entire congregation but there it says me toca Asia God spoke from inside of the fire meaning it's a description of the voice of a Shem which is inside of the fire which we'll see what that means soon is that time pranab upon him and this is the explanation of what it also says in Deuteronomy in the description says now sham spoke to the Jewish people face-to-face well this idea that God speaks up face-to-face especially if as we're saying we're not seeing God we don't see God only Moshe has an experience of seeing God as it were doesn't mean literally that he saw God God doesn't have a form but most she does have an experience of seeing of some sort whereas the Jewish people have an experience of hearing so what does it mean when it says punting the punting that God spoke to us face-to-face what is that idea we're going to understand soon with a cast member on nokia xem LOL kappa that's why also it says i am ashaming your God because somehow when God speaks us face to face it becomes individual it becomes individualized and we'll see what that means like I keep saying what's clearly means in Nuremberg continues I'll dick shala huh don't ask a question what you could ask a question you could ask Masha Allah hey mimosa in the next verse in Deuteronomy the Jewish people say to Moses came me call buzzer sure Sean McColl a lil kim crime madhavi mcComish that who is of all flesh who heard the voice of God Living God speaking from inside of the fire we just said that I could coming from inside of the fire so the experience is of Hashem himself of not no voice but rather the rock coming the the UK vodka aspect which is really included in the concept of mercy and the concept of seeing as well soon see but what is the idea here why they referring to the voice of God speaking from inside of the fire kilo ohm Raja mother Kim McDonough meet up I didn't say that they heard God speaking but rather the voice of god awful Americo looking shaman sheissziegel because they only spoke about what they had themselves can see what they had themselves experienced the talk armor and that's how they said corrado Tahu shmeh as colostrum are hoshan ok no so they said to him you go and you hear all that Hashem your God is going to say they don't refer in speaking of motions experience to the voice of God whether they just said go here Hashem your God okay no maneje Moshe and motion also in speaking of their experiences kshama I'm Colin okay madaba me toca ish has any nation heard the voice of God speaking from inside of the fire so we need to understand what is the idea of hearing versus the idea of seeing motion of amc's has an experience of seeing when it comes to understanding of God whereas the Jewish people has an experience of hearing so I want to read see one more section of the storm bond and I think it's very important to understand that means the Italian the lancets from this you can understand much I'm aerobics and tahmid the Midrash I go to see fine but house i'll refer constantly to a certain idea Kiba Shino Carlos Nick Notaro the color was given with seven voices what is idea that the fact of the fact that the total is given with seven voices the hain jiske r w ms more hollow disseminating them we see that King David in the 29 chapter of Psalms refers to the voice of God a number of different voices caller macaw off caution bahadar we say when we return a tour to the arc boo hoo I mean in high near mazda par shadows this number is hinted to in our partial give I heat colors of rockin cause they're each time it says the word voices it's written in a singular form if you look inside of the tour it's missing above it's missing the the letter that makes it into plural so if you count them up begin the echo to each one each time in several colors you counted as one the same column rally McCoy list yes i'm going to robin each time it's missing the letter that although we read it as floral but it could be read as singular hina hey Misha if you count them up there are six cry never basura should buy your daughter look am it also says one time explicitly that God spoke so there are six times it says the word voices the seventh is where God Himself actually speaks so we see that there are seven voices what is the idea of the seven voices what is the idea of the experience of the Jewish people at Mount Sinai and how does it relate to us today so like to share with you the mesh which their online references and it speaks to this idea of the number seven which is really the number 70 which has to do with the concept of speech versus the concept of seeing now if you remember I said at the beginning that our experience of God today our experience of the Torah today our service of a Shem our experience of how we understand the Torah and the tradition the novel ideas that we might say in our understanding of Torah they are all rooted in that time 3,300 years ago when the Jewish people receive the Torah this is an explicit teaching of our sages and says like this duffer acaba de Bariloche him as cod Varma a lowly more God spoke all of these matters and he said over the sarasota bros the Ten Commandments other than you suck this looks as an amazing thing what does it mean it's cause Varma Allah God spoke all of these matters what is all of these matters mush on a vm a city mcnabb boy so called David or Caitlin MacCarthy night all the prophets who will ever speak

because they don't exist yet official oh hi bharosa shock or lack of accountability low amazing thing even though they weren't there at the time they didn't exist they still received what was theirs at the time this came to Omer and this is what we see the measure springs to different sources to this idea in an of itself mazda wash em le SEL de yada milwaukee the first refers to the prophecy of malachi it refers to the fact that there was the word of god in the hands of milwaukee beam a molecule alone mr doesn't say in a time of allah ki ll be on milwaukee this is in the hand of Allah I should fire holy son of will be other my heart Enoch he had that prophecy and his hand already and it went back he had received it already so to speak at Mount Sinai be a dose of shock lo meno deliciousness navos but until that time he didn't have permission to say the new voyage didn't have permission to say the prophecy became meshia is there as well armor he said neethu Yosef some money from then there I was I mean you Shia MIOSHA Nina Torah Isaiah was saying that's a verse by the way in chapter 48 / 16 me emotionally Thomasina shamla ec from the date of the tour was given a Mount Sinai there I was Ricky Bell theater nevados I received this prophecy as it were ello the optional Kim struck honey Baruch oh it's now that I sham set me with the spirit adoption Loney fellowships Gustavo's he didn't have permission yet to give over the new war and the measures does an amazing thing local enviable vodka Mussina never awesome not only did the prophets or received their prophecy at Mount Sinai Alaska haha no mom did a hold of a door all the wise people of all generations kala kala kala kala Mussina every kiddush every novel idea in Torah that's ever going to be said throughout all the generations who is all received there at Mount Sinai hey Nomar this is what it means in the first one it says in Deuteronomy chapter five verse 19 s at the bottom how a lady vrml Cole kalkan Cole good / vo-- Yosef never says that God spoke in a great voice a never ending that that didn't stop so the idea is there was a voice that was her then that would be heard throughout the generations a voice of prophecy a voice of wisdom or voice of Torah every single thing every kiddush distribution that we're saying right here right now the partial podcast that you've heard that we've been staying here for almost 10 years every word here if I was behaving to the truth if I said something which is truly the intent of what's going on in the mesh so it was set at Mount Sinai all of these words in the words of every Torah scholar of every stage of every prophet all of this was given at Mount Sinai now here's where we get to the quote of the rambam from the mesh and I believe that it's really saying the same exact idea as what we've been speaking to speaking about until now in this mesh the 800 on our vehicle and says call at cod there was one voice of God neck luckless even the Shiva Corliss that was split into seven voices the Heyman o'clock in LA I in Russian and it was further split into 70 different languages so when it says that God spoke all of these manners it means that he spoke seven voices the seven voices the Rabanne talked about 70 languages what is the idea of seven voices was the idea of 70 languages so their measures continues America Schmoe broccolini our vienes and Mount Kailash in backlog who wants to understand what does it mean we mentioned King David is also speaking about these voices into Hillerman chapter 29 of Psalms he says the voice of a chef is in power what does I mean I showing voices in power why doesn't it say but cocoa and God's power where's mean buck co-op in power it sounds like there's some limitation to the power meaning as the message continues I'm not going to read it completely inside but the message continues and says God's power you know amala when you hear an angel speaking it's too powerful for a person to be able to disable to receive to accept it's too powerful certainly God's voice is too powerful so what does it mean that God's voice is in power it sounds like it's limited a la calma cost measures finishes often says the cost call out colors God has the power of all voices while I todavia konam and it's based on the opinion of reveal con on hot dog promise I'll a shin ever I shall retain o Muhammad Asif summer of God is able to speak in a way that anyone can hear it God is able to speak even though his voice is so powerful it should blow everybody away but God can limit his voice so that each person each individual hears only the amount that's necessary as atheists have explained if a person was too weak then the voice would be soft serve a person was stronger the voice would be louder imagine you came to a wedding and you know I play at weddings I sing at weddings and inevitably there are people who complain as the music is too loud or the younger people complain the music is too soft but imagine if you can walk into a wedding and if you're young the music is loud for you and if you're old or if you don't like to hear loud music the music is softer for you that will be pretty cool right that's exactly how it was rush em spoke the voice was precisely tailored the volume was precisely tailored to the individual who is hearing it and this idea that the voice was tailored specifically to the individual is the foundation of what it means the Jewish people heard the voice of God as opposed to moshe overheard who heard who saw in a certain sense the voice of God and the idea is that when a person see something when you see a picture of picture is worth a thousand words you see a picture you see it in the broadest sense you look at the picture you can see many things at once you can see a whole picture at once but when it comes to words when it comes to hearing sounds we're going to come to a song you hear note and then another note and then another note you're a word and another word and another word and then the pieces come together and your mind puts all of those pieces together and you hear a concept you hear an idea each and every individual within the Jewish people is a piece of a greater whole and so when a shell speaks on the Jewish people hear the voice of God it means that each individual here's specifically who they are in a larger picture of what God wants for the Jewish people as a whole and for each individual moshe rubino he sees the whole picture he sees the voice of God because he can see the entire picture of the Jewish people and was each individual person owes his individual strengths and talents are he sees the whole picture here is the whole voice here's all of the voices and all of the different things that are going on but when a sham speaks he speaks to you so nothing a shaman alcohol I am a Shem your God and it's Panama punim what does it mean that God speaks face-to-face though the idea of a pun in each the way Hans I'll speak about the face is that each and every individual has their own specific face nobody had no two faces are alike even twins my sister has a set of identical twins even twins you can see that there's a difference an idea is that the face reflects who that individual is you can see from the space with that person is what a personality is and when I shall speak face to face it means that each individual receives their specific instructions as it were they hear God's voice and how God's voice manifests through them individually and that's the pieces that's the call that's the sound of God they don't see God's face as it were they speak to God face to face God speaks to them but it means that they here openly absolutely clearly exactly who they are and how they manifest God in the world and that's the idea of the 70 languages each one here is their own language each one here is what they need to hear as they understand it the seven voices also indicates the different ways that each individual here is God and manifests God in the world now that's the idea the difference between the name you'd cave love k and the name of low Kim it's not just about mercy and judgment but the idea of mercy of your cave of K is the all-inclusive aspect that's most sure of his experience at Mount Sinai is UK vodka he experiences the whole picture he sees the Word of God as opposed to the Jewish people their experiences ello Kim which means judgment which means specific you know when you comment when a person comes in front of a judge the judge says specifically for that case he looks at all of the details he looks at it specifically and and he gives a sock the word fat means cuts he cuts he gives you something specific to you that's the name of okemos specificity God is speaking to you and indie and interestingly the name of Lil Kim is plural because it indicates the fact that there are many different ways of hearing God many different individuals here God differently they have a different experience of God and a manifest gone differently in the world so most rubino here is the schmohawk goggle here's the great name the only clusive name and that name is the truth is that voice that moshe hears it includes all of the voices that each of the individual Jewish people will hear but they hear from the fire they hear the the different voices the fire indicates the aspect of Laura the aspect of strength of withholding of not showing everything if the Jewish people were trying to see it's too much for them each individual can only handle who they are they can't I can't be somebody else and you can't be Who I am each person has to be who they are Moshe Arab Dana was able to see who everyone is he's a leader he's one less to guide each person to be Li they are so he can see everything so to speak he can hear that voice completely and he doesn't get destroyed by it but each individual has to only hear what they're supposed to hear otherwise they could get destroyed so I want to bless you and please bless me a Shem should help us to each hear that voice recognize who we are individually and remember that voice it's not just hearing that voice because this voice we heard we heard the voice at Mount Sinai we were all their souls somehow even though we weren't yet created ourselves are not yet in the world but somehow we all heard it and we're holding it in our hands like malaki withholding that in the void that prophecy until it was time for it to manifest you Shia Isaiah held that prophecy until wisconsin-madison session should help us to be able to see what's in our hand to see what our purposes in the world to see how we can manifest and hear the voice of a Shem and bring that voice out into reality thank
