Moshe is the
Undisputed
greatest person ever to walk on this
Earth ever including any any figure you
might think uh somehow you
know wins this award they don't he wins
and we we have to understand it's just
not like some uh Poof Magic I thing that
oh he was just amazing remember all
people all people are born
with
challenges with
with
potential not to accomplish their full
potential
potentially there everyone is doomed to
fail and but when they push hard enough
they can overcome that doom and turn
their life into something unbelievable
and that's what Moshe represents it
wasn't a a free ride for Moshe Moshe was
the greatest person ever because he
worked harder than anyone else he he
took what he was given and he worked
with it hard nothing comes free in life
because anything that would come free
would have nothing to do with you and
that Moshe doesn't represent this this
Gifted Man that's just was a saint and
and when you create that kind of a story
it's just make believe he was this he he
he made himself great because he never
gave up and never stopped trying to just
move closer closer to truth closer to
Hashem and to fulfill that which he was
created for and that is the lesson of
Moshe that's we have to be bring out the
Moshe in us you know everyone wants to
be like someone else today you have
everyone has these wonderful role models
if you want a role model Moshe is is the
role model we all have to try to be like
Moshe and it's funny we just praised him
but now we're going to get a little bit
critical of him but let's
go okay so one of the really interesting
stories in the beginning of moshe's so
to speak adult life he's just becoming
an adult actually there's discussion to
how old he was when the story took place
Bar Mitzvah below Bar Mitzvah he wasn't
such an old man yet but it's an
interesting story it's the beginning of
his ability where we start to see his
ability to to stand up and be strong
against first of all risking his own
personal safety perhaps even risking his
life for the sake of another and that is
the famous story where there's an
Egyptian that's beating a Jewish slave
to death and Moshe who was a prince
somewhat Prince of the in Egypt at the
time he was raised in the Palace of
parro he was taken as a as a adopted so
to speak by parro's daughter who herself
any were converted and became Jewish
but still he was he was raised in the
palace and he had a gifted life in that
sense now we're going to now follow
Moshe Renu Moses the main main person
behind the everything that happens now
with the Jewish people in uh in this
story so he grows up and becomes a young
man now a young man were real young men
at a young age he could have been Bar
Mitzvah age over here or just before bar
mitzvah I have to check there's
different opinions but anyway he grows
up and he goes out and he sees the
suffering of of the Jewish people of the
Jewish his Brethren there there was
really suffering because the Egyptians
went extreme with extreme cruelty in
their servitude they really suppressed
them they they they beat them they
murdered their
children uh they they did everything
they could to break their spirit and and
that was part of it they wanted to
weaken them as a people and
completely beat them into
submission Moshe sees this and part of
this we have a glimpse into it with just
one particular
story sad sad and sick story but here's
the
story Moshe sees an Egyptian task mask
task
Taskmaster beating a Jewish slave and in
this case he's trying to kill him and
the question is why is he trying trying
to kill this Egyptian slave we don't
find that that that Egyptians murdered
everybody they they wanted slaves but
this slave he wanted to get rid of
because he knew too much about him what
did he know about him this Taskmaster
put his eyes on this Jewish slave's wife
and he used his power to trick her and
this man he made this man leave his home
and in the olden days there wasn't so
much artificial light it was very dark
at night and he SN in the house
presented himself as if he was This
Woman's husband and and essentially
raped this man's wife you know I'm not
sure how violent it was because again he
tricked everybody but it was obviously
this is this is rape and the husband and
the wife figured it out they realized it
because I mean how how obiously you know
what's going on on some degree so they
realized it the Egyptian man realized
that they realized it and his solution
was okay it's time to get rid of this
man because even that was illegal that
was illegal to do in in Egypt and he
could have got in trouble so he said you
know I don't want to get in trouble so
I'll kill him what's the what's what's
WR we'll kill one more Jew what's the
problem nothing's changed in this world
I mean there's still the philosophy you
know kill them one more Jew who nobody
cares you know so that's the story and
now we have Moshe Moses in the middle of
the story and he's watching what's
happening and he has to make a quick
decision his decision is is that I'm
going to save this this Jewish man at
all costs because he was he was giving
up a lot but of course what kind of
calculation is you he's seeing this and
he's not going to not going to let this
happen but let's appreciate who Moshe
was now we we don't want to look at a
superficial story when you study the
Bible
superficially you you you really you
really are more lost than found right
but let's so let's let's become a bit
found instead of being so lost so what's
this how does the story really work
so we have to understand mosenu already
at this young age was a sage was he had
the power the mental power and the
spiritual power of a towering giant
spiritual giant we'll see in the story
how it proves it proves
it he he looks at the Egyptian and uses
what's called Divine communication like
a level of Prophecy or just below
prophecy although he he becomes the
greatest Prophet but and he and he's
able to
perceive everything that's happening in
this story he's able to tap into you
know you know almost like the the the
the source of all of all truth and he
understands that this Egyptian is a
wicked Egyptian he understands what he
did to this man and now he's has to he
takes one step further what does he do
he decides that before I kill this
Egyptian I want to know that I'm not
potentially killing someone that will
come to this world righteous and convert
to become
Jewish I if I'm going to kill a future
convert to Judaism then it's not worth
that I should kill him it's it's not
fair because I I will be causing that
potential
good never to happen and so he he looks
he looks into the past first of all to
check also another thing that you have
to to check cuz when you're I guess
mosha you need a lot of information you
need to have I need to know that he's
not his father wasn't righteous his his
his grandfather wasn't righteous if he
came came from righteous people maybe he
deserves a second
chance he checks does this man come from
righteous people or not and they don't
he doesn't he checks in the future will
anyone righteous come from him will
anyone convert no and after doing that
he kills him he kills him and this we
have to understand as well how did he
kill him how did he kill him he took a
knife he took a rock he took a a brick
what did how did he kill him he killed
him like a like a barbarian like an
animal he didn't kill him like an animal
he was a holy person he was a Godly
person he was a saintly person you know
how he killed the
Egyptian he killed him exactly thank you
he killed him by using one of the the
Divine names that have within it a power
which of course he was granted that
power from God to use it to take this
Egyptian life which completely gives us
a whole new type of story a powerful
idea here is this he didn't just kill
God he didn't just kill the Egyptian
because it was legal the law said I I
could the law said I
should God helped him kill the Egyptian
God himself by allowing him to use one
of his holy names that had a power to
take that life away so it was
unbelievable God was a partner in taking
this Egyptian life it wasn't done
barbarically with a with knife gun
sticks Stones it wasn't like the way we
would of course if we were Hollywood
trying to make an into movie we would
make it such an ugly scene and we would
paint a picture of such an ugly a person
uh a barbaric person and that would be
the farthest thing from what Moshe was
interesting just to point out you know
there was the cartoon they made a
cartoon of the story of Moses and Aaron
and they have them they have them both
like walking around like as if they're
bodybuilders in tight tight t-shirts
like walking around like you know like
they're going to have a competition Aon
Moshe check check out my traps check out
check out the traps check out the we
dels like ridiculous absolutely
ridiculous to think Moses Moses is
looking at the the how many how Square
his his boxes are and his it's so
stupidity that that and until you teach
yourself to to rise above that stupidity
so then how would you know how would you
know what kind of person Moshe was of
course you would think yeah he was a
strong man he was like he would have
made a good uh a good a good what he
would have made a good uh Gladiator I
don't know who knows what you're going
to think until you put sents in your
brain it's not there yet so the Torah
tells us you have to know if you think
mosenu took his his two hands his left
and his right hand and used it for
violence strangled him beat him like a
like like animals do no that's not how
mosh raenu killed him mosh raenu took
his
life as an emissary of God in a Godly
way the way God would take a life that's
how he took the life with the spoken
word he spoke woke and his life was
taken away from him that's unbelievable
that's how mosha took his life and just
to keep in mind it was a Mitzvah to do
it and this he was getting rid of evil
and he was saving the victim's life and
he did something that was only good pure
good this was an act of pure goodness
pure
goodness now with that said let's follow
the story and then we're because there's
another story we have to understand in
here but this is part one of the the
story is
this you have to know and everyone has
to know that Moshe Renu was a saintly
godly man he was a man of God ish
eloi and that's how he behaved in
everything he did and when he had to
take a life it was done with
godliness that's how it was done not
like people that think that they're
they're they're coming in the name of
God and
murdering raping destroying hashem's
world that's not godly that and that's
not they're not doing that for God
