A Forced Error for the Ages

as we're holding in and during the muva leading up to yam kiper maybe it's kadai to go through theukra that discuss the original sin of clalis theel as that episode in the as we'll see has many layers of connection connection to this man has many layers of connection to and [snorts] additionally it's which is sort of wink wink where we're holding in the so over the next few days we are going [snorts] to go through the beginning from perfut which is sheni of parasisa going all the way until the end of the para. So we're going to set it up as if this is the kasher because these will be the parasisa recordings but it's being recorded live during the muva leading up to kipper. At first glance, I think it's a little bit come again. But after further review, I think it's extremely extremely appropriate, extremely extremely [snorts] timely to go through these as the lim that will emerge from understanding this par and the I think is going to lead a tre to a tremendous richness in our understanding of what the makadesh of what yum kipper is. So on that note, this week's para is parasis and we are holding hashem wink wink at the third share of [snorts] parasisa sheni peric lammed alf [snorts] pik yudas. So the back five paras of seamo deal almost overwhelmingly with the in fact you can take those parishes and you could divide them into two groups. [snorts] The first half in the first part of par's deal with of the tells the exactly how I'm going to want the to look and literally every single detail as it relates to what the Mishk was like the way it was going to be And then even it's all mentioned in these parishes. The latter part of the five paras deal with the whereenu and betal and his team go and they physically build the mishk. So you can literally take these parachutes and do a yak. You can divide them into two groups. There's the and then there's the of the stating that smack in middle of the and of the toy interrupts the program to bring us the story of the ego. So the ael literally begins as soon as we conclude all of and as soon as the story of the ael ends which is the end of parisa we start and now we're going to get busy. We're going to roll our sleeves up and we're actually going to build a mishk which is going to take us until the end of which is going to lead right into and it's going to lead into all the parishes of the carpets. And the question is why is it that the story of the ael is mentioned literally smack in middle in between the two of the story of the misham learn that it's very simple. It's because that's exactly when the story of the eagle happened. The Torah is telling us the story chronologically, exactly the way it took place. In fact, if we refresh our memory a little bit in the end of Mishbatim when the Tyra mentions the second of the into the bris of the Tyra goes up to Shama, Mosha goes to the top of the mountain. The comes down. Mosha enters the mountain way above our pay grade whatever this all means. And was there for 40 days and 40 nights and during those 40 days and 40 nights [snorts] who taught and included in the that taught was he said by the wayd and he gave him and the beginning of at the end of the 40 daysu descends from the mountain and lo and behold theel Moshenu goes back to Shmay etc etc and then eventually at some point they're able to resume where they were holding and that is they're able to be and go build a Mishk say that the reason the story of the is mentioned literally in the middle of the story of the Mishkan is because that's exactly when it happened theel took place in between the time that [snorts] to go ahead and build a mishk and the time that Mosha and Balo and Bal's team actually went ahead and built the Mishka stating that there are other that learned not that way. [snorts] Rashi says that this para is a classic example, maybe the best example in the of what we know as and in fact the parish of the eagle took place before the of the Mishka. And if you were going to place the eel in chronological order, it would have been before parasa. It happened when came down at the end of the 40 days. I hope I'm not giving away any uh spoiler alerts here, but at the same time, it happened before Truma, before Tetsava, before the beginning of Kissa, and it certainly happened before Vayak and Picut. If that's the case, why did the Tyra take the parish of the Ael and literally put it smack in between the two parishes of the Mishkan? And really, it's above our pay grade to know. We mentioned in the past that said that the reason this because if the would be written in chronological order, people would be able to tap into the power of the Tyra in such a way that the world wouldn't even be able to exist. And it's for that reason the Tyra had no choice but to hide certain things. And that's the premise of the concept of aim. Rashi learns that the agel being in between these two of the story of the Mishkon is exhibit A for this idea of a this is not being mentioned in chronological order. So as it relates to when exactly Israel sin with the eagle, it's a major working backwards learns that the eagle happened exactly when it looks like it happened. And by the way, this is the rabban throughout his entire who tries making things work in the chronological order in that they're presented high level to is also almost because he does a to learning again we're necessary and we're applicable and obviously always But based on that, Rashi learns this is another example of a bottom line is in terms of when until the end of the par took place. This is something that was very very much debated by the as we're going to see. There's really a lot of the parel that was very very much debated by the rishim. But either way, with that little bit of an introduction, we pick up where Mosher Rabenu had just spent 40 days and 40 nights top of the mountain in the unan all synonyms of each other on some level where it was and now is about to descend the mountain. But before descends comes to he says, "I want to give you something. I want to give you a gift like would give a a gift. But literally when he had concluded speaking to during these 40 days and 40 nights, what did he give him? He gave him two tablets. And these tablets are they scream. These are two. These were they were made of stone and there was some engraving. And you want to know who engraved it? It was literally written with the hand of so as was about to descend tells Mosh, I'm giving you a parting gift. And what is it? He gives him what we know as the two. as it relates to the this is a huge sub part to the story of the is something that we're going to get back to but for now um asenu was receiving his giftu was spending time up in their end were getting nervous because [snorts] they were looking at their watches and they were wondering where's Mosa says is ketarum was delaying in their mindu is supposed to be down already and for some reason he hasn't um emerged yet. So the nation they all gathered together and they almost attacked the har and they told him get up and make for us a god that is going to go before us that's going to take us into the promised land because that mana who took us out of we have no idea what happened to him. So the starts getting very nervous. They can't figure out exactly we are it's getting late early. So they go literally to and they tell him that I think we need a plan B because as it relates to now you read the in the minds of Rabenu should have been here already and he wasn't and as a result he started getting nervous and it's for that reason they come to Har with their uh fatal request if you Take a look at Rashi quoting the shabes. Rashi says that the rest of the story is that Moshenu had actually told the B Israel exactly when he was going to descend from the mountain. As a matter of fact, he told him, I'm going to be up in the unknown on top of the mountain in the Rakia for 40 days and 40 nights. on day 40 6 hours into the day that is when I am going to emerge. Now they made a and based on their thought that Rabenu was supposed to have arrived no later than ones. Why testo? Because Rabenu says Rashi was Allah to the mountain on Zion. That was the day that received the mo was supposed to be really big but that's the so went up on Z and 40 days from Zion would be Zion and it's supposed to be in the sixth hour of the day. So in their mind that's when was supposed to come. Well came went and hadn't arrived and they started getting very very nervous. Now the Sultan saw an opportunity when he saw that was getting nervous. He said, "You know something? That's my PES and let me go pounce on them." So the Sultan goes and he has the license and the credentials to do things like this. He went and he brought a and into the world and all of a sudden the weather was so inclement. It was so overcast that the Jews had never seen such I mean maybe [clears throat] going back to and all of a sudden they said what's going on over here and they had a feeling that maybe what's going on is is that their leader died and maybe in Shamayim they're mourning his death and the way it's presenting itself the way it's being manifest is by suddenly the weather is literally turning upside down and they start getting a little bit uh more worried the sultan saw he had a real opportunity now. So then the pulled out something that he really does and I'm quoting from all of a sudden the looks up they say do you see something? Yeah. Yeah, I think I do. And they see something that looks like a bed and and they think they see Mosha and all of a sudden the decided there's no question in the world Mosher Rabenu is Moshabenu is not alive and when that happened they got really really nervous. Now what really happened? said he was going to come back 40 days 6 hours into the day. So I mean what the math was off it's at that point. So Rashi says yeah there was a little bit of a mus between Mosh andro in terms of how to understand the words and [snorts] that is counted 40 days from the day that Mosherenu went up to Shama but the truth is is that Moshenu meant that I'm going to be away for four complete days and we know the Jewish day starts the night before which meant that being that Mishraenu went up during the day on Zion that day didn't have a previous night so that couldn't be it couldn't be counted which meant that Moshenu was going to be away for a complete 40 days and 40 nights. Which means when is it that Mushenu was supposed to come? It's the sixth hour of which day? Not 40 days from Zion, but it's really 41 days from Zion. It's not Zionos, it's Zionos, also known as Shivasamos. And Mo Rabenu then is going to come down on Shabbas which is of course going to lead to the terrible terrible incident which is why Shabbas till today is a day that remains in infamy. It's simple math. It's 40 complete days into the sixth hour from when we're getting a little ahead of ourselves. So, so the sees so they quickly gather around to and they tell him that we don't know what happened to Mosha says more than we don't know what happened to Mosha we're getting a sense that the universe is almost telling us that something really really bad happened to Mosha and as we need someone else we need a god literally to go and to lead us into the promised Saharin got really nervous and he said, "I I better think really really quickly." So he had this idea. He tells them, "I want you to take the gold earrings that your wives, sons, and daughters are wearing and and bring them to me." Now, what was this all about? Rashi says Aaron was stalling. Aaron knew exactly what's supposed to happen. Was going to come tomorrow. The problem is we might get ourselves into a lot of trouble. So Har says, "How am I going to get them to s? I'm going to ask them to do something that they're never going to do." So go just go home and tell your wives that Aaron needs all your jewelry. Oh, by the way, your kids jewelry as well. Let's see how that goes over, right? So that should take about a month and we're going to be fine and everything is going to end up right. How's that negotiation going to play out? I think if we do that, we're going to be in a good place. But it backfired. of incredibly the men come home. They tell the wives wants your jewelry wants my jewelry. Of course, you can have it. So, they all go and they take the name and then literally moments later all of a sudden has the skull and takes it. Now, what's going to do? says the vi went and he was now Rashi has two in just what means one rashi says is he took all the gold and he tied them together another rashi says is that he made some sort of surah with it if you look at the mafari rashi they seem to learn that rash's mahalik the way he's mafarish the entire story of the eagle is the second and that is that went and he made a in fact next words. What was the he made an ael went ahead and he made an eagle. So it's going to be clear from the sukim later that Aaron didn't make anything but rather what a harin did was is he took all this gold. He threw it into the fire and then an ago emerged from the fire and that's what it means with Rashi's second shot which again learn is Rash's in the way is mafarish and that is he made it surah he didn't consciously go ahead and make he took the gold all these earrings he threw it into a fire and emerged from the fire was an eagle and eagle is a calf and it was a ma right the word ma has heavy uh avoid connotation and as soon as to submerge if you think things couldn't get worse were standing there and they said they said this is your god that took you out of so it was literally 40 days ago that had heard say and literally a month and change later they see this and they saw that this situation was completely spiraling out of control. Facts. He saw that this whole already was he realized that somebody was pulling strings that he wasn't going to be able to control. There was a certain level of obstruction that Aharin was able to take on. But this was above Aaron's pay grade. He just couldn't believe what's going on. I mean, first of all, the fact that there was even a mistake, this whole mishap was incredible. The fact that there was the fact that that's literally the fact that he asks them for gold, which in a's very clever mind should have taken a little bit of time all of a sudden. the fact that takes he throws it into the fire and an emerges. What's that all about? And who literally said not very long ago all of a sudden realized this is way out of my control and he started getting really really scared. But has to make his still has to go to work. He still has to try to avert this disaster. So what was his next move? of he said you know there's anel let's build a let's build a misbeh for the it's hard to say these words out of our mouth I mean and we're quoting right so says let's go ahead and build a why build says this is all part of the the stalling tactic right says right it's it's going to take time and the idea is I want to stall a little bit so like this we're going to buy ourselves a little bit time. Not just that. And then proclaims and he says, "Tomorrow this is going to be on." Why not today? Because tomorrow hopefully this whole thing is going to go away is going to show up and everyone's going to realize this was a big mistake and uh and like this we're not going to have such a problem. Either way the says went he built and tomorrow came woke up literally everybody in that morning. Every person gets up. Dashi says by the way this was also the all of a sudden nobody hit the snooze button today everybody's right but when it came to the every single person had already two coffees by the time it's 511 to to say incredible thing it was he says but either way they got up early in the morning and by the way what's the significance of early in the morning before 6 hours into the day cuz right had woken up a late and taking that time. So like this, you know, by the time they finished, it might have been you could have been in a in a half decent spot, but that's not what happened. Got up early and then sat down to eat and to drink and they got up afterwards. What does mean says one a led to another started with and from there it went to Gile as you find in the context of Gile and from there it even went to as the Pik says in over there mean so the Yidden literally went and in a matter of 40 days from there they were like where it They came to a point where they sinned in the it was it was by the way what was the is something that we're going to get to byem it's referring to the son of Miriam was killed on that morning he tried protesting he tried putting up a fight and it really really didn't go over well in fact say that one of the reasons went along with this is because he saw what had happened to Kur and he was afraid that they may end up killing him and he thought that if they killed him it would be the end of Clay Israel and that's why he took one for the team Kadua and he went along with it but either way this is a six pic description of the original sin of right when you think of the original sin you think of the but as a nation as well this is the first time that went ahead and they didn't have either way this is all going on on Tesian and Zianos in the meime was up inu does not know what's going on andu had just received the right that's the gift like a gives a that had given was about to descend out so we go back now to right we have to split the screen we're going back now to so this all is taking place we return now to rabeno we're at the conclusion of the 40 tells I want you to go down [snorts] because your nation that you took Adam they become completely corrupt. Ashi says that right isn't that a little bit redundant wherever else is going you're not going up you're at this point you're only the elevator only goes down from right so where exactly is going of course he's going down so Rashi famously says means you're going to lose your madus you're going to lose your because you can't even imagine what's going on okay what happened they very very swiftly They very quickly veered [snorts] off of the that I had told them to go and they said, you know, I'm [snorts] thinking about this nation. This nation that I took out of with [snorts] But I'm I'm starting to have second thoughts because I see now they're a very very stubborn nation. And to be frank, I don't know how far I'm going to get with them. Here's my thought. Sometimes in life you have to cut your losses. Allow me please. I want to get really angry at them. I'm going to destroy them. I'm going to consume them. Now I created a world for a for a nation that's going to serve me. No worries. I'm going to start all over again and I'm gonna start from you. So felt that what had taken place was so egregious. I think we all feel that. And as a result there was there was no way out. And again says if 40 days after we're holding by where are we going to be holding in 3,000 and something years from now right we don't stand a chance as a nation. So you know what maybe we just have to literally fromious let's start from the beginning. So he says allow me now heard what had said and he was said allow me please to destroy class only allow messenu's permission realized that hashem was insinuating to him that if he wanted to get in the way he had the ability to get in the way. What? There's only one thing he can do. He could d and that brings us one of the most famous in the so realizes there's an opportunity to so he said why you getting so angry at your nation? I mean, this is a nation that you took out of Can you imagine what's going to happen WHEN NEWS COMES BACK to the Egyptians and they're going to hear what happened to the Jews that this is the end of the story. They never made it into the promised land. They're going to say that took to do bad to them to kill them in the mountains. Instead of killing them in Egypt, he killed them in the mountains to wipe them off the the face of the earth. Please return from and reconsider maybe don't go ahead and destroy the continued. He said remember you promised them so much. You promised them so much. Remember the promise that you made. Remember the all the and as a result that too should be a reason for you to not do what you're supposed to do. Says the bosen finishing. He goes very shortly. And when he said I'm asking the of was that was answered. that was said that I'm willing to reconsider. I'm not going to wipe out the Jewish people. Now, this of took place before even descended from the mountain. Right? Right now means now. Right? So before anything was able to avert he was able to avert this disaster. It was going to be literally a mat of but to be clear never told that I'm forgiving the forel that's not what happened that initial critical situation that was in that is something that said I'm willing to forgo so the wasim but it was nisay in the sense that is not going to be wiped out. Claios right now is not going to be destroyed. [snorts] But from the standpoint that the yidden would be speared and they would be saved, that wasn't something that wasn't something that they got yet at that point either way. So now Moshenu is going to descend from the mountain as told him says the soenu turns around and he descends the mountain. Why would turn around? So it's like when you're and you have to walk out of the bish. So you don't walk out with your back to the so was leaving the mountain. He's leaving the he's leaving the descended from the mountain and he was carrying with him the the two. These had in it the as we had mentioned and they were engraved. They were written on on both sides of the literally on both sides. The wereim meaning had carved out the actual stones and the writing on the stones was also done by [snorts] means engraved meaning it was the engraved inside the sou comes down he has this gift he has the and he was just given this incredibly uh [snorts] sad and terrible of what happened to the literally told him. Now if you remember from end of parish there was one person that was all the way to the mountain and waited for him the entire 40 days and 40 nights and that was Yeshua. Yeshua was the he never left the side of so Yeshua like Mosha is the only other Jew that's not part of the whole situation of the of the so in the meantime descends from the mountain and he sees Yeshua right now Yeshua says the Yeshua heard he heard the voice and noises coming from the and it was bare what is berea I mean, so if you take a look at the heer, he literally hears of and he tells, "You want to know what I think is going on? I think there's a there must be a war going on." So tells Yeshua, "No, the noise that I hear is not the noise of proclaiming. It's not the the truest of the victor and it's also not the coil of the of the one that's uh being defeated but rather coil what I hear is a coil. That's a little bit of a hard, right? Rather sounds like there's something called there's something called, right? Ano sounds like it has to have a word that's going to follow it as a description of what type of ano it is. So it's not the ano, it's not the noise, but rather it's the noise. So if you take a look at Rashi, Rashi says Rashi says that the if you're learning right now in the this is what it should say. The word and the word means one thing actually means something else, [snorts] right? says, it's pain. That's the connotation of the word. This is not an of it's not an but this is again it's pun intended but it's an of pain. That's what's going on over here. Now the truth is Moshuenu knew specifically specifically specifically what was going on and he could have been a little bit more descriptive but he didn't want to tell Yeshua exactly what was happening but he did lead on a drop. This is either way. So Misha and Yeshua they now come back to the saw the he saw the so he didn't just see a but he saw the saw are the instruments. So there was a whole there was going on. So notice who went he heard from what was supposed to happen. But when he saw what was going on in the way he reacted was very very different. He got very angry he took the and he threw them and he broke them literally at the foot of the mountain. So this gift that the Torah describes in such a descriptive way where etc when he saw what happened and he literally broke it. Now why did he do that? So Rashi quotes that did this on his own. Obviously no one told him to do it but he made a right this is one of the three things that was awesome. What was the he said we know that carbon pes is one of the mitz in the and it says [snorts] so if can't have a to the carbon he certainly can't have a to the entire so if you don't need the you don't need the he goes ahead and he breaks in a classic says something else says when saw he got so weak he was so frightened and he lost all his strength and he threw them a little bit far from him. He shouldn't hurt his toes, right? Shouldn't hurt his feet when they fall like what people do when they're carrying something heavy. And then he says, "Right, I was relieved that I found this." He said that's the says went and he broke the there's no way. What happened was he got so overwhelmed he's carrying something very heavy he just couldn't carry it so it was just falling. So what does it mean like it fell? No he just didn't want it to hurt him. So he says if someone's carrying something heavy gives it like a little bit of a nudge so it shouldn't literally land on his feet. But the mikra of course says that saw what happened. He made a doesn't need the and if that's the case he went and he broke the next thing he did was right was getting to work so the music stops playing right that's for sure and everyone is looking at everybody else right had this happen but was not even up to that yet see goes he takes theel that they had made and he burnt it and then he ground it very very fine this was like the stream of water that had been coming from He took it and he spread it onto that water by and he gave the to drink. Now is why he gave it to them to drink. Rashi says alazal we'll see more about that in the next year that the reason he gave to them to drink is because drinking this may was going to be the equivalent of the me it was going to determine who was actually involved and who was actually engaged in the says the reason was is because if somebody eats or drinks eventually he goes to the bathroom and wanted that theel should be the of the because it would denigrate it in in this very very profound way but either way So he takes now this uh ael which is ground it's in the water and he gives it to drink and then doesn't go to the ben he goes to the leader he goes to the god he goes to he says can you explain the only one that can make this was right who else can make this so he turns to he says what exactly did the nation do to you I mean it looks like you're taking revenge for something right what did they do or the very least they begging you and you thought something so bad was going to happen if you didn't do this. What a what? Can you because I'm at a loss says you explain to me I know you're behind this. So please can you explain to me how this went down said don't be angry at me my master my brother my younger brother you know this nation they're very bad says they're they're a tough group there you know this is a tough this is not an easy group right you know that take a look at the saferna adds a beautiful kage he says raeno you know The story of the Jews is an incredible. It's a rags to riches story for the ages, right? But [snorts] let's be honest, you know, 40 days ago, they were at the foot of Hari, but where were they 7 weeks before that? They were in a des half empty perspective as well. These are that were literally born and bred in the world of Zara. I mean, could you appreciate that? Either way, they came to me and they said, "So I told them, whoever has gold, I thought I was stalling." Right? This says first, that's what happened. I threw it into the fire. And then all of a sudden, this eagle just came out. Saw that the nation was he were exposed, right? They were looking pretty bad. The fact that they came to this, this is not good because had exposed them meaning he created the which ultimately exposed them and he thought this was going to be a this was going to make them look vulnerable amongst all the enemies. This wasn't going to be good. This Pik is a little bit of a hard PK. It's almost out of context and out of place. Truth is if you look at the every has another shot and what this PK might be. This is the way Rash explains it next move is he stands at the entrance of the he said whoever is on Hashem's side should come to me and came didn't sin in the ego and they're the ones that come and they gather by this is not for the faint of heart he turns to he says I want you to go home bring your sword and I want you to assu literally from and you should start murdering people whether it's your brother it's your friend or it's your third cousin twice removed we're going to start going ahead and we're going to start killing people and went and they follow them and they killed on that day approximately 3,000 3,000 people this next is to me from the most pelvic in the turns to and he says he says I want you to know what you just did now this was your what you just did right now this is going to make you showed how loyal and how faithful you are to that you are willing to go and kill your brother your friend your relative BY YOU DOING THAT YOU'RE going to now become the within the You're going to become the sh you you were willing to do what needed to be done and you're going to be a bench to sh you know what the is coming from. It's coming literally from what you just did right now. Now in the end of the whole back end talks about the how and some how they became there was a how did Ley have it in the overlooked what you did is so incredible that you just got bra either way we're going to hit the pause button right here and this is really we are the first part of the story of the ael concludes. So again goes up to the is there for 40 days and 40 nights and then at the very very end they're off by a day and they immediately feel that they need someone to replace which ends up being it ends up being it ends up being finally comes down and he has this gift that had given him like gives a a gift. When he saw what took place, he broke the doesn't need the they don't need the blades the past. How in the world is this nation going to How in the world is this nation going to be able to have the Oh, we skipped the part before comes down was told. Hashem says, "I'm going to wipe out righte that he was going to go ahead and he was going to do." And then gets to work. What's the work of Moshraenu? So you have to like literally follow the steps over here to see exactly what happened. The first thing Moshraenu did was he broke the right that was number one. The second thing was he took the ego, he burnt it in fire, he ground it, mixed it with water and gave it to the [snorts] Isra to drink. The next thing that did was is he gave to a next thing he did was he gathered and he told them to start killing the people that were the and they go ahead and they kill 3,000 people. The way we went through the para of the ego right now is the way Rashi learns the para. We were just aliti Rashi learns the story of the eagle. which is that it was a story of a desar story of desar the nemesis of the Jewish people something that the yidden had been steeped in when they were in but you want to know what happened this was it was a story of aar when the says what they wanted was in fact rashi says that they said they didn't just want one of they wanted many says when they tell [snorts] we don't know what happened to him now we need another Eloh us to be able to to take us. When the yidden requested from Maharin this Elohim in the world of Rashi, this was real stating that if you go through Rashi's perish over here in the Rashi says another important point and that is it wasn't every single yet that wanted this. In fact, Rashi says many many times that it was Dava. They were the ones they were the ones that wanted that. The first place Rashi says this is when Aaron takes the gold and he throws it into the fire and what emerges is an ego. How exactly did it happen? Says as soon as threw it into a fire. So the came and through they went ahead and did says maybe it was the famous but it was that did it. Rashi says it again they said it should have said they're the troublemakers the ones that that were engaged. They're the ones that got involved when Hashem tells. So Rashi says, "You want to know what the ego was? The was but you want to know who the troublemakers are?" When it says, "Who is the who are these people that came?" It's not the whole nation. It's theim of the um it's the they're the ones that got involved. Now Rashi does say that even though the were the ones that started at some point they were able to get to come along with them. But you want to know who the instigators, who the troublemakers are, who are the ones that made the ask and who are the ones that ultimately manipulated that an eagle should emerge. It really came from there. But in terms of what the eagle was, the eagle is what we always thought it was. It was a vazar stating that if you take a look at the Ramban the Ramban has a whole different in terms of understanding what the ego was. Raan asks three kashes on Rashi. The first kash is so obvious. What preceded the request for an eagle is not around. So, so there was a need. The need was we don't have. So, okay, you need mosha. So, what are you going to ask? You're going to ask for if you're missing and really what you need is a replacement for Mosha. So the ask should be find us a replacement doesn't make sense says the Raman I I don't get it if this is the Yidden going back to the way they were when they were in Mitim then okay so you want to tell me they had a they had an AU it could happen but it doesn't sound like that's what's going on over here. Sounds like they don't have Mosha and they're very uh like shaken up. What are we going to do, right? We don't have Mosha TO TAKE US. WE NEED A GUY. We need someone to take us into why would we turn the clock back now and go back to the world of the world of it doesn't seem to doesn't seem to flow. Another kasha that Ramban asks is that when sees he comes over to him, he's very very angry, right? He says, So what did Har say? Don't be so angry. All it is is what are you so angry for? I mean, come on. Let's let's right let's calm down a little bit. Let's work this through. What happened? You weren't here. So, you know, they decided to go back to their ways. They said I don't know whatever they ended up. How could it be? It doesn't make any sense. It's not possible. How could that be? It's it's it's if if this is more than that. So how could a haram preface his defense in front of the judge and the jury by saying all it is is the worst ever. Don't make sense. That's Ramban's second kasha. Raad's third kasha is isn't it interesting that when comes down from the mountain he goes he takes the eagle and that one person put up a fight. He said, "If somebody would go and take your god and start messing with it, you would fight." Much was one person. Nobody put up a fight. Why did nobody put up a fight? They weren't afraid to worship the ego. So now the he's going to I don't know. It sounds like wavy is like the one uh [snorts] shave it that's on the side of Mosha and they're going around they're killing people. Why did nobody put up a fight? You're taking away my avoid. You're taking away my god. Why is nobody fighting? says Rabb because of these three kashes it's push to me that the story of the eagle is misunderstood and really what happened over here was never a story about the knew 100% that they knew this was something that was clear to them they knew that from the time that they stood at And even during this story of the ego which was an ail but that's not what it was. That was that was not the ask. That's not what was going on. Okay. So what exactly was going on? He said what the wanted was in the words of the Raman they wanted another. They knew that they needed a leader someone to take them into the holy land. And they lost their leader right? They don't know. We don't know what happened to him. That's what they wanted says. Okay. So, so what happens afterwards? What happens afterwards? Makes an eagle, right? So, how does this all play itself out? Says, he says, "You want another moisha? I have an idea. I want you to bring me gold. He's not stalling. He wants the gold. And he's going to make something from this gold. You know what he's going to make? He's going to make an egg is going to make an egg. He's not going to take gold, throw it into the fire, and then all of a sudden, no, no, he's doing this. He knows exactly what it is. He knows exactly what it is he's doing. Says, and his intention was as follows at that time, we're in the midbar, right? It was a place that's a barren and desolate wasteland. He says now we know that it comes from the north says that that doesn't just mean that which is to the north of means that but not only that how do we know that it doesn't just mean that you go through the you'll understand it means more than that [snorts] the of it is is suff is always considered the smile in the world of it's considered the left and and the right side is always the side of and the left side or the side is the side of them and and it's so the says so we know the [snorts] again this is like the of but in the world of the there are four uh that have the faces of different animals that are carrying the and on the left side of the four the one on the side which is the left side that's the one that has the thought that you know what that means that means that the manifestation of that is presented in the of the which has the face of that's the one that's most associated with that's the one that has the most power to overcome the world of and the world of so the yidden right now we're in the midbar they want another musha you can't just create a misha right so what are we going to do we have to tap in to some resource that has the ability to take the yidden out of their situation of and to get them into into canan. That's what it is that they're trying to do. So what does a haram do? A haram goes and he makes an eagle. He literally makes an eagle. What's the point of making an eagle? The are going to see the eagle. They're going to think about the that's what they're going to think of. And when they think of the they're going to think of that, they're going to tap into the and could be by them being through the medium of the of through that they're going to somehow get what is the ability to lead the to unbelievable says that's what's going on over here. What did Aaron tell the Yidden when they came and they said they want an egg? So, yeah, no problem. Makes it builds his and then he says, "One second. I thought I thought we're in cahoots together. I thought we're doing this for the because if the surah of the is going to be in their presence they're going to have the ability to that says the ram that the saw that I'm being mallet to you I already found in a medish and he quotes the medish but the bottom line is this is the mahalik of the raan the ramban says that what Israel wanted was not enough. How did how did they go from not having Mosha to wanting? If they don't have Mosha, they want another Mosha. So really their objective and their want was to have another Mosha. And Har said, "I can't get you Mosha, but I can get you the next best thing." If we're able to tap into the mid of that in the world of Midbar, that will be our safe passage now to be able to get into the land of Kanan. What's the mid of that in the midbar? It's the because the is on the smile of the which is the equivalent of so that means if the in that world if they could be to the by them doing that they'll be able to somehow get some of what was net and that's how they're going to be able to go in. But what ended up happening what ended up happening here what ended up happening was the ended up being there's no question that the ended up being there's no question that at the end of the story of the eagle it ended up being but says that only happened afterwards and was tak frightened when he saw that's what happened when he saw that's what happened he was very very taken back and ultimately that's the it's not the fact that they asked asked for the eagle and it's not the fact that went ahead and he made the eagle. It all spiraled out of control. And Dr. That's exactly what told Mosha. Aaron told Moshe, "You're seeing. But let me tell you what happened. They came to me. They didn't want a des." So they want another Mosha. That's what they wanted. So I had this what I thought pretty good idea. And I went ahead and I gave them uh another. So don't be angry. not and not at what I did unfortunately it backfired and for that I I take responsibility I agree with you I was of something like this to happen the ultimately didn't work out but you want to know what our was that was never the says the kavana was like they said we need another and what I was doing for them was I was presenting them I was presenting them with another mush says that being the would never looking for another desert. That's why as soon as moshu came down and they had the real we don't need this anymore. We don't need this anymore. And then they tap [laughter] oops you know what one thing led to another and maybe we shouldn't have uh we shouldn't have done this. But in the world of the Ramban the story of the agel is not a story of we want a zor in the hedonistic way. It's a very slippery story. It's a story of yidden that want to serve hashem but that serving hashem in a way where if you you're away from if you cross over just a little bit you can end up in a very bad place and that's what happened they had all the they made it was a yont everything was being done the way it was supposed to be done but at the same time it was slippery it was a little bit dangerous in this world of ministaris that's what was going on over here and that's really the legacy that is the story of the kagel So according to rationally the story the ego was they wanted and they were even and it's it's a terribly tragic story according to their they wanted to serve hashem they were just they knew they needed a mosha I mean mosha played such a pivotal role in everything that happened to them up until this point and mosha is not here so let's come up with another mush and har made his best replica of mosh he could possibly make but that world of having an eagle that's a ma that is the face of the left side of the marova that's a very very dangerous ous world and sometimes the the the line between and the is is very very very fine that's why you find sadikim right over the years right they had certain and when it came to certain zak because they thought it's it's treading the wine too closely that is the story of the eagle this is a third dea that has the right kavanas but the minute they had an eagle they they forgot it was hashem they forgot who was behind the eagle you're right that that they started be TO THE EAGLE THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED by the way. You know the go so far and says every single was that's what he says said the only sons that did that says was only a small group of people but [snorts] as it relates to makes a huge deal about this. He says because otherwise Hashem would not have told Mosha at first glance at first reaction that right and let me go ahead and he couldn't have said that but because a few thousand Jews did in a is 600,000 strong so you can't go ahead and do that Dr. It's obey from the par that really all of Israel worship the eagle. The bottom line is this is part one of the story of the eagle. But just to end, so the story of the eagle, it goes down as is one of the great mysteries of of Jewish history. And we tried bringing it out and even embellishing a little bit as we went through the pukin because the pukin scream it. But [snorts] this is a nation that had literally been taken on wings of eagles where they were at a point where they had just witnessed miracles like until Mashia comes nobody's going to see it. They sang by the they in a way where the is made to the point where the ram says that if a person doesn't believe in it's that he didn't stand at the foot of [snorts] because the amuna was so ingrained the gamb It it was so part of their DNA now that they were going to be different. They saidishma and literally 40 days later because of a little bit of a they end up IN BY THE WAY ACCORDING to and according to Raman they end up in the question is what was what did and did he mean to make an eagle? Did he not mean to MAKE AN BUT AT THE END of the day they ended up being and how's it possible? How's it possible? And by the way, if you want to just add insult to injury, right? Go through the suggest that got when they said they had crowns, they had jewelry, they the the fragrance, the radiance of the Jew, the that every had at that point go through the THEY WERE IN SUCH A HIGH MAD 40 days later all of a sudden all of a sudden they they sinned with the eagle. How's it possible? So obviously the shot is it goes to show the vulnerability of man. the end of the day we're we're in a world where we have we have free will and it doesn't matter how much you see and how much you know at the end of the day there's always a and it's always so if you see so much then to drag you away is going to be equally as equally as strong and that's stating that said the only reason the yidden worship the ego was so that if there's a person that sins and he's going to want to do chuva and he's going to say no to repent and to do chuva the story of the eagle is going to give him a you know means literally he's going to allow him to open his mouth because otherwise he's not able to say a word because the says who said how's it possible that 40 days later they went ahead and they did this they weren't really shy to IT said this right it was only but it was also the great in the name of the holy was not really shy to do the not really to do the I know that he'd even have how's he doing it doesn't make any sense. So why did they do it? If they want to ruin why they do it because the wanted to teach us if there's a who doesn't have he sins and he says no way I could do really and if after that you're okay you could do you could also do what does now there oh maybe that's different no we're going to Take a look. We need both doesn't make such a person. So maybe he can creep out of his you know when they get together they do they have the chuva. I mean you could be the greatest but you're one person. came away maybe not it's for that reason continues these are the words of David who was who come all he was the one who taught the world the answer that gave and the neighbor gave to how is it possible that the yidden worship the makes sense you know what the answer is they were not ruining they were not ruining and this is one of the few times in history where there was some divine intervention that caused aid to do an a when really he wasn't holding by doing the a fact there's one other time that said I know this happened quoting and that is the same exact story David [snorts] wasn't so why did they do it. The reason they did it was who so to speak wanted this to happen because the lim the lim that needs to be taken out of this story was it was so that if there's going to be a person at some point in the future that is going to have a hearer to do chuva but he's going to say how could I do chuva now I can't I know there's something called chuva it's not meant for me right it's meant for someone who puts his uh left shoe on before his right shoe so he's going to go he's going to do chuva or a person that does this a but not me. I'm in I heard the Bas that said it's not me. It can't be me. The Tyra told us this incredibly dramatic story. It's on purpose. It's a story THAT HAPPENED THAT'S BEING TOLD to us in dramatic and an embellished form to drive home the point. Think of Clasro. I mean, after what Hashem gave them and after what Hashem showed them, if they were able to go from there and somehow creep out of this mess, you know what that means? Whoever you are or whatever this zebra looks like, you could do chuva as well. The story of the eagle was given to us for one reason and one reason only. It's the story that teaches us the chuva. So you tell me if this is appropriate to be learning today. The story of the is the it's the narrative. Tyra tells you there's something called chuva. I want you to understand the chuva. Now you're going to send it learn the parish of the that's what we're doing. That was the inspiration for this again. We'll see there's a lot more to the as well. But the bottom line is again the lim of the story of the Ael is not to say boy those Jews they can never uh figure it out and get their act together this was bad something that they weren't it was imagine the tells a makes the look so bad just so that we can feel good about ourselves that's really what's going on this is a story of a terrible a it's a story of a after incredible but really the punchline of the story is not to walk away with a a negative feeling about those Jews. It's fake. It's to walk away with a an empowered feeling and that is we make mistakes. We are vulnerable people. It doesn't matter how much good we have we still and how much we see you know in our minds we still and that we don't see the bottom line is it [snorts] doesn't matter who what when and where we have an incredible and that is the takeaway of the story of the eagle this was part one there'll be a part two and a part three and a part
