good evening everyone welcome to the
Beit Midrash be given abatement Rosh and
welcome home to Torah by the way if I
never introduced myself even once my
name is rabbi Aaron Poston I earned that
with Poston and that's who is here
speaking with you so we have people
online people in Skype we have a live
audience and we have people who are
going to be watching this as time goes
on it once it's uploaded it's uploaded
it's really there's no date you know
it's like good until right this is
eternal the words of God are eternal not
my words right so we're gonna speak
words of Torah and what we do here is we
use the clea car you never heard of the
clea car I did a shear once on this
whole story we use his parish his
explanation as the outline for our class
so without any further ado let's begin
we're in chapter 3 of Exodus schmoes
gimel with the first pus ik and it tells
us that motion was shepherding the Sheep
of Jethro this is when he has an
encounter with the burning bush why does
the Torah need to tell me that he was
shepherding the Sheep of the Israel the
Hebrew says Moshe hi aroma at sown at
you sir oh sorry
Moshe hi Roya at Sonja's room right he
was shepherding the Sheep of Jethro what
is it about a shepherd why do we need to
know that he was shepherding the Sheep
of Jethro so the clear car begins by
telling us I'm will have a for shame
this is written all over on the Oral
Torah the rabbi's have said the future
karo apostle did you know that pursue
that a shepherd is not going to be a
valid witness he's pursue he's
considered a thief a thief why why is he
considered a thief I'll tell you why
I'll Shamari the heimeau's bestows a
Karim because what does he do he takes
the Sheep these goats and he goes into
people's property and lets them eat the
grass
okay listen if you had open wide areas
that were government land and there were
permits and you're allowed to that's one
thing but they're shooting a legato any
row at any Shepard is basically
considered as suspected and suspicious
as a thief what's the problem with that
which I'm a motion remain oh well now
you're talking emotional mainly we're
talking almost all the prophets were
shepherds unbelievable they were thieves
no wait till you hear this this is
exactly why the clear car explains that
they were the Sheep of someone else the
Sheep of G of Jethro because a person
will never sin if there's no personal
benefit if they're not his sheep then
he's not going to put himself in a
position to sin listen to the words okay
Tom wash its own Abel how you show you
sir that's exactly why the Torah is
telling me they were not his sheep they
were the Sheep of someone else in other
heights of low low a person will not sin
unless there's a personal benefit in
some way if he's not benefit at all he's
not gonna sin of Amoco McCall
nevertheless what did we say about most
of our prophets they were all almost all
of them were shepherds nevertheless that
truckload iya there's a necessity to
tell us what Shahi Arora nevertheless
Moses was a shepherd in fact this is why
God chose him this is why God chose
Avram this is why God chose many of our
prophets because they were a shepherd
and one sheep gets lost and they're
running after that lost sheep and they
take responsibility and that's what a
leader is and that's an unbelievable
example he says keroth intervene but
Lully Dana who love meto haria
most of the prophets all became high
level prophets why because they were
they received their prophecy within the
aspect of their shepherding key
luis really hit bone adduce in order to
reach that level of prophecy
one needs isolation solitude why is that
necessary
why is that so necessary alienation
yerucham I am a seed Elohim it's through
sitting around looking at the skies you
have that free time you have nothing
else to do but you think about God
you're thinking about them it's serious
of a sham you think about wow what
unbelievable things in nature right
whether it's cloud formations whether
it's just the stars anything in nature
looking at the trees the butterflies the
birds on and on and on
right and it says in psalms chapter 8
verse 4 when I see your heavens this is
King David speaking by the way this is
in Psalms 2 hilum chapter 8 verse 4 when
I see your heavens kierra shemekka it's
what it's the master at Sparta it's the
work of your fingers the moon and the
stars that you have established ok so
you're talking about someone who has
free time to examine and contemplate and
think and meditate on nature he are you
deity a call moksha Toberman see a
chemise bra because of this meaning the
ability to be in tune with nature all of
these thoughts are thinking about God
thinking about creation thinking about
the afterlife thinking about what was
perhaps before what's the purpose of
life ah - err yah Allah Amaru Muru ah
Hashem until there's a woken within the
person something is stirring within him
- what that the the the Spirit of God
will descend upon the person Masha
ain't no Mitsuko the yo shape the
base oh how I used to a zoo melaka
harris beside that this is not going to
happen necessarily so easily it's
certainly not common by someone who just
sits around in their home or who's doing
specific work in the field right if
you're doing agricultural work
it may be numbing to the brain because
it doesn't take a lot of thought if
you're doing the work but you're being
particularly careful about where you're
putting the seeds or how you're doing
the harvest whatever kind of work you're
doing the field you at least you're
focused on something but you're not
focused on God necessarily right when
you're a shepherd you're free just free
to think about nature and a sham Zula
Tarot how you shave low pay Nui the Rove
has money the exception would be of
course would be a a shepherd who's able
to sit with free time at least most of
the time right of course when you're
walking along the way so you're very
worried about the lost sheep right
you're concerned about making sure
they're all together but once they're
going to start eating they stop now what
are you gonna do play your flute right
play your flute and sit and and just be
happy right that's a great job for many
people many people we know many people
that would be a great job for them okay
so we will continue now we're in verse 2
so it says like this then an angel of
God appeared to him the yera mala Hashem
a love but how and where did this angel
appear to him the Labatt ish in a blaze
of fire me talk has met with in the bush
now what kind of bush is this so let's
just get our facts straight we're not
talking about a tall tree we're talking
about something that grows close to the
ground that's a bush I'm gonna give it
away now because we will talk about it
it's going to be a thorn bush it's not a
simple bush it's a thorny bush ok let's
go on with the Clea car he says the
Mara's ooh-rah boja dales regarding this
vision that Moshe had there are many
insights and opinions
eh-oh means he'll begin to list a few of
them some say she he ashamed emo enoki
but Sarah in fact Rashi brings us down
as well yes Roger she brings it down
that it's a bush
also the fact that if you look in Psalms
91 verse 15 this was one of the main
lessons and it says he will call me and
I shall answer him
Ukrainian a who now these are the main
words ie Moe enoki but Sara I am with
him in his pain I am with him in his
distress we could say Jakob de you so I
will rescue him and I will honor him I
shall honor but the part is I am with
him in his distress what that's somehow
relating to this to the bush the burning
bush the so-called burning bush it's all
about God is with him in his the strain
in the distress so now we're going to
understand what it means to be in
distress okay so based on that alkane
niggler all lavas snap this is the very
reason that God revealed himself within
what we call the snare the snare is the
thornbush eight Scheffel than a moose
it's a very simple humble lowly bush
it's not a tall cedar it's not a palm
tree it's not a maple or an oak it is a
bush well the parish Rashi ain't him
will you shark la lama dr. bliss nan now
let's look at Rashi he does not strive
in Russia for that ya go back to page
one
from within the thornbush but not from
any other tree because I am with him in
distress
that's all Rossi says but why a
thornbush he may he might have answered
why a bush in general why is it that it
was low and humbly humble like a bush
that and not a tree but something that
is lower towards the ground so the clear
car wants to answer like this he says
Rashi doesn't really help us the hom
Reem you know what it's all about
sure hots net remiz the ship float on
shalyah trow that ready for this the
ship Latin means the suffering of the
Jewish people that this thornbush hints
to the suffering that the Jewish people
endure th hat sorrows mitla hats devolve
because this tradition flame that is
burning all around them a 900 Cal but it
doesn't consume them now this we're
going to discuss on a positive side and
a negative side really it's all positive
but we're not going to see it always so
positively but hopefully we'll
understand it better by the brits room
and he says I'll Derek there's a way to
explain this there's a little bit
complicated but I'll say the words and
I'll try to explain it heats i Colleen
the Haim a nun Colleen God says if you
Jewish people are not acting properly
I'm gonna send my fury I'm gonna send my
anger into you these are called arrows
I'm gonna send my arrows and you know
what I'm gonna run out of ammunition the
ammunition the arrows are gonna be empty
right there's no no arrows left in the
end but you're still here you're gonna
be around you will outlive the
ammunition
and he the clear car brings down and
breaks you drama but I couldn't really
find it and I wanted to see cuz he
brings he says there are a lot of other
examples well the theme of parati la
mala now there's a verse in Exodus
chapter 1 verse 12 where are we here we
are so this verse is discussing the idea
how the Egyptians were disgusted because
of us so let's read the whole verse but
as much as they would have flicked them
meaning the Egyptians would afflict us
so did they multiply we nevertheless
multiplied and so did they gain strength
nevertheless we did not wither and they
were disgusted because of the children
of Israel the ikutsu nickname in Israel
now what does it mean they were
disgusted the word of this cults coach
is a thorn now there's a lot of
different ways one interesting way which
I will just Express now is that they
themselves thought of themselves as code
seemed in relation to the Jewish people
who are like a very lush grape vine and
tree what do you see the difference one
is has value and one has almost no value
valueless
right and that's how they saw themselves
because they even said they're gonna
multiply so much less they they they go
to war with other people and then we
kick us out what does that mean in terms
of let's say when the Jewish people when
we ended up in Israel God cleared the
way by getting really the Canaanites for
us right wasn't easy took many years but
eventually they would be gone they were
the weeds and we were the grape vine
that was uprooted from Egypt and planted
a replanted and relocated in
now they also saw us as grapevines
meaning the Egyptians and they saw that
in the relation to them they were the
coats so that's one way to read they
were disgusted don't read it in English
they were disgusted but the ikutsu they
thought of themselves as valueless look
at that Rashi they were disgusted with
their own lives
that's one way to read it many and the
Egyptians were disgusted with themselves
which would be easy to understand why
however this is the interpretation we're
gonna use on one level the rabbi's
interpreted to me the Israelites were
like thorns in their eyes okay we're not
going to interpret it that way now we're
going to open a whole nother way that we
were thorns in I'm sorry they were
thorns in our eyes now watch this go
back to the clear car she omits Reem
name Cholula coaxing that the mature the
Egyptians themselves were compared to
thorns Kihei me Lehi Ullaeus rail lit
coats massive they were the troubling
and painful thorn in our eyes alkane
Hara Lockridge Morocco shots net and a
new cow and so God showed Moses this
this thorn bush that was the flame was
inside but it was not being consumed
your most out pyro this would hint to
something about parallel listen to this
Rafa pH had sorrows mitla hots vivo even
though right we'll talk about the
plagues right everything that was
troubling Farrah was gonna be
surrounding him there was going to be a
lot of anger and different types of you
know anger from God the coma come in a
murukku nevertheless he would stick
around till that tenth play right
because why key table crush mark hukill
is baccala MCOs God strengthened him so
that he would be able to survive all
that
Mako's all the ten plagues as it looked
look in chapter nine verse 16 when Moses
says to Pharaoh but for this reason God
to speak you know
speaking through Moses I have allowed
you to stand i basically allowed you to
stick around in order to show you my
strength and in order to declare my name
over all the earth that moses is
speaking to pharaoh in god's name your
you and you ain't getting out of this so
quickly right
you're gonna we're gonna make sure that
all these ten are gonna go through you
might say yes no you're gonna flip flop
all the way through yeah but in the end
hashem is going to give you strength to
go through through it all so i'm just
going back on one very important point
that we that we say that those who read
the words again
jihei my yulia srila coats Macheath they
were to us as thorns when the Assyrians
are called the rod the rod of Hashem
right the Assyrians come and attack us
right when the anti-semites come and
attack us it's not them alone remember
everyone has free will they have less
free will right but why would the
Egyptians punished in the end if God
says I'm gonna put you in a place right
a nation that's not yours a land that's
not yours you will serve them you right
you're gonna serve them you're gonna
afflict you why should they be judged
for doing everything that God wanted
them to do because they went overboard
well would you say okay that's what
answer maybe we could have been someone
else someone had to step up to the plate
thank you okay so these that's one
answer maybe the Egyptians are held
responsible or it would had to be
Egyptians but the Egyptians went
overboard and therefore they were going
to be held responsible for going
overboard okay so the clear car
continues devar affair alternatively
remiz lamajune mr now to those who are
hearing this for the first time this may
be a shocker Uzi but I want you to know
this adds credibility to the oral torah
that we could be so critical of
ourselves remember if a human being
wrote the torah why would they put in
all the
and stuff right all the incest or all
the playing around with you right when I
said incest I met lote than his two
daughters with Yehuda and Tamar his
daughter in law why would we hear all
this what do we need to hear all this
dirt for because there's a certain
amount of honesty and integrity and it
shows you that humans did not write it
if humans wrote it they certainly would
have left certain things out okay
so here we have in Chapter two of exodus
verse 14 when Moses was confronted by
Dustin and avi rom remember he had
already Slade Slade killed an Egyptian
using the ineffable name leader in the
hay and the vanator with a 42 letter
name but either way he used the name to
wipe out an Egyptian and he had looked
this way and that way and there was no
man so he thought so he thought so at
this point in time he is now confronted
and by these two will calm troublemakers
he retorted who made you a man a prince
and a judge over us do you plan to slay
me as you slain the Egyptian Moses
became frightened and said ready
I came no the HUD devar Wow
he's in shock whenever I did to the
Egyptian somebody knows and somebody
knew and somebody told somebody or that
was the assumption so how did he know so
based on this nickname my mr. alien
bimbisara yo Jimmy Cole Hamels the clear
car is making a statement and it's
unbelievable H this into your
consciousness it's because of this type
of action which will find out what that
is in a second is why we are still in
exile today the matter became known
so Moses thought wow these people really
don't deserve to be
we deemed the fish eh bruh hem day Lots
wrong what does that mean they had
slanderers they had people speaking
russian hara libel they were talking
about each other there was a lot of
jealousy and now I have to mention what
is going on here one of the things we
mentioned the beginning of the parsha
was that one of the four things were
four reasons why the Jewish people
merited to be redeemed do you remember
what they were they didn't change their
names they didn't change their language
now that has to do with actually each
each name of a tribe represents
Redemption looking towards a messianic
era looking forward to redemption of
salvation that's true
so that's necessity it's necessary they
didn't intermarry also necessary but one
of the four things was they didn't have
any slanderers they didn't have any
russian hara i want to tell you there's
two different types of things and we're
gonna talk about this there's unity
absolute unity and then there's like
people talking behind people's back
they're two different things
absolute unity we seem to have had we
seem to have had what was that let me
let me give you an example of what the
clear car speaks about when it comes to
why we married it to be redeemed one of
the things we had to leave with was a
lot of wealth it was promised to Abraham
and we weren't leaving without it so
already before the very first of the
MCOs they all knew this is it we're
going to be leaving and we're going to
be leaving with a lot of wealth so
during the ninth plague already is when
we found out where everything was during
the plague of darkness and during the
tenth plague we went around and we asked
them could we borrow your gold and your
silver okay so if a Jew would have
mentioned this over that next eleven
twelve months that had passed by from
the first Makkah until the last Makkah
that hey we're leave with all your
wealth they would have been more tedious
about hiding it
right they would have let the Jews think
that's where it is because we're always
keep it but knowing things are coming
down the pike they would have hit it
entirely and we couldn't have left
without this welcome we would still be
there today so the very fact that no Jew
turned on the cloud on the mission that
was white hair mérida to be routine but
here we're saying that people still
spoke behind each other's back and still
had a certain amount of jealousy and and
and and hatred this is why we're still
in exile so listen to this mosh meme
coal I knows the hay routine the Gugu
theme shall shock they the array that
what they would do they would speak out
Lashon Hara they would make their voices
heard in negative ways and in shameful
ways whether the people they were
talking about were awake or whether they
were sleeping Co team hallelu like
thorns remember we're originally talking
about why did God appear in this bush
and why is the bush seem to be burning
but not be consumed this is all telling
us something very important Hamas meme
coca shubo air base their their voices
were heard as if there was crackling
noises like when you put you ever sit by
a fireplace or campfire you hear all the
crackling and it's really nice right it
could be really nice but in this case
caucus Ram I feel abyss Mancha Shh hot
sorrows McLachlan evolve even when God's
fury is burning all around them
Macomb Macomb call ahahhaha Varick coats
massive each one each individual Jew is
like a thorn in the other Jew
okay they're causing pain whether it's
through speech through actions through
looks the seal on ma mère another type
of prickly bush come in hog Doros halal
oh just like those generations behaved
the tummy machine call could cool
Coalhouse ear you know what it reminds
me of you when you put on a teapot those
old teapots these two whistle
well he's not talking about that he's
talking about what you put under the pot
you put this some like kindling right
you might have some nice wood but to get
it going you always need to put some
thorns or weaves or some light bush into
the into the fire and what happens is
that crackles and makes noise so I don't
want you to go to Co helis which is
Ecclesiastes 7 verse 6 and this is for
as the sound of the thorns under the pot
you hear that
so is the laughter of the fool and so
too is his heaven sanity okay so that's
the verse he brings down key Coalhouse
serum taka sassier kinkle axial this is
the laughter of fools the Icarus about
the Australia bugaloos this is the prime
reason the Jewish people are still in
their exile and deserve to be meat sod
Hasina from the aspect of the hatred the
hakuna and the jealousy yo Jimmy Cole
I'm sorry shebeen a have yo cherry cola
Oh mos wow this is like heavy ethical
rebuke here that we hate each other more
than the Gentiles of each nation hate
each other in their nations ballet hallo
shown now I'm not gonna claim to be a
bow rush on this are the people who are
eloquent speakers people who are leaders
that people will listen to they need to
get out there and get the word out
quiche meal Escalus rail ain't Nucky
they need to tell the Jewish people
there's no exceptions me included we
need to clean our act up there's no
exceptions
everyone has to pull their weight thah
McLucas masala hammock locust because
when the flame of this dispute the fire
of dispute erupts from the rock of the
subdivision
I was mawari mace maybe it started a
long time ago maybe it happened with the
rebbe use of old or happened from
leaders of past generations it doesn't
matter
you know what the children are doing
they're bringing the wood to put on the
fire so if the fire erupted a long time
ago or previously and you weren't the
one who lit the match you me us we're
still bringing the fuel we're still
adding insult to injury is that that the
correct usage for that alkane Mahara
they have a Hashem I skipped something
no I read it a final yeah I just didn't
read the Hebrew I was mildly mage but
bonny malach team acing he goes on I'll
came there for this fire of God burns
within us and who not we're not talking
about the fire like Asia Torah we're not
talking about the positive fire with
some of the destructive fire okay it's
burning with us within us that's why it
says it's the snare and a no you call
that the the bush itself remember it's a
thorn bush that is not being consumed a
poppy Chiappa PAH Helios give our bokov
even though the fire of trouble is
burning within the Jewish people
Macomber combat csr snare me shark I am
nevertheless the essence of the snare
that Bush is still in existence
meaning the thorns still exists the
called dor vador how in every generation
and it's not being consumed kilo yo flu
huh coach them in Cara Michelle for the
those the thorns are not being consumed
from the vineyard of God the Jewish
people are called the vineyard of God
that's why on one hand it's a positive
we will always be around right and the
Jewish group will be around who will be
Jewish that's up to you we're not gonna
get into that right now but but
unfortunately many of us still carry the
strength of of fighting and scene I'm
just going down down down into this
rabbit hole that there is a little hope
of getting out of we have to work on our
character trait the Vilna Gaon says the
whole purpose of life is character
development that's the purpose of life
so I'm sure it bothers you what is this
- guys the Cimarron they're creating
such a horrible Avenue for the Jews to
go down just because of their actions
wait to hear one person is an entire
universe every human being is an entire
universe know what happens with Joshua
and conquering I so what happened in the
previous they were told do not take any
contraband do not take any schlau do not
take any of the spoils of the war and
after they conquered they tried to
conquer I 36 soldiers were killed how
can that be we're gods on our side
nobody should have died so they realize
that something happened and through
prophecy and navour
and they understood that somebody had
taken Slough the spoils that was not
supposed to be taken from Jericho and
they made a you would they make a
lottery they already knew who it was but
they wanted him to confess right there
were prophets and it went down and wood
they whittled it down to one particular
person aha and he finally confessed but
you know what it says in the beginning
it says Israel sinned when you find out
that 36 people died why did 36 because
Israel sinned what do you mean Israel
sinned
one guy akhon sin 36 people had to die
because the one person sinned
yes you asked the question why is it
just one two guys what's the big deal
why do we ought to suffer that's why I
asked you you sure you want to join the
Jewish people we come in contact with
converts people who candidates for
conference
say right they think they want to
convert they think they want to come do
you realize what you're joining we're
talking about responsibility but they
call communal responsibility this is why
we're so trying to be sure that they
have the right intent then it'll just
become Jewish and then go out and start
eating pork right well that's what we
need is another Jew eating pork thank
you very much
try you know you really are sincere
that's all we can tell is the sincerity
that's in front of us and that's what
the basting does they ask questions they
get to know you and you look sincere and
they get some letters from people who
say you also look sincere and you keep
the minces as best you can so you go
through the process but that's the last
thing we need one Jew can ruin it for
everyone is that clear okay so we were
having this previous discussion Wow
I'm responsible for every Jew I'm
responsible this guy and who knows where
so look you're not responsible in giving
tell haha that's clear because you're
not around him and doesn't know you and
you don't even know him but somehow
another it's having an effect it's
holding back mushiya right it's holding
back miss yuck
so what was the point I wanted to make
of the whole sky that's right
so the culvert sky and I think this is
in his farm that he really was gog how
you wanted to change the whole world I'm
gonna change the whole world and he
didn't he didn't and then he realized oh
I should just work on myself right first
I guess I have to try and change the
world I can't so I'll change my country
can't try to change my country can't
enough trying to change my County my
city and it's too much so if I change
myself I actually could change a whole
world remember that's all you are you
are an entire universe some people are
more eloquent that speech some people
you'll meet on the bus some people you
meet at work some people you meet at a
class whatever it is you do the best you
can on yourself and all the people you
have in your immediate surroundings and
that's really all you can do but say
there
okay so now the next paragraph says like
this we presenting you shop mashin mr
this is actually going to help resolve
what it says
now it says Bella bot H me toque Hoss
snap
now I'm going to say a few these words
and they're gonna be quite confusing
because in English in Hebrew it's very
different in Hebrew than it is in
English so I'll do my best
Bella bot H that means the blazing fire
me toque husna is from within the bush
that's what Moses saw kiharu Lila Mae
Mar the clear car says it would have
made more sense to say villa bot aja
busines just to say the blazing fire
that's in the bush wasn't me me talk
just use one letter bet to say in the
bush as opposed to from within the bush
oh but talk is different than me talk
from within or in right it's the same
thing as in the bush but though so what
is me talk trying to get across so from
what it says is the he may later on he
says he may have snapped bow airbase no
she actually says behold the bush is on
fire the bush is Bel Air Base the bush
is a burning with fire really it
shouldn't say that it should say the
opposite he may ha H verbis now it's a
fire that's burning the bush it's not
that the bush is burning with fire but
the fire is burning in the bush that's
what it should have said why because
it's the H that is the PO L is the
active part and thus net is that pool is
the passive so that should have been
clear
Ella had met two but the truth is
according to everything we said EOS net
mouth ear a shots or us ready for this
it's the bush who's the boy
it's us the Jewish people are the thorns
against each other it's the bush itself
that ignites the fire this suffering
fire this blistering fire now it's like
fuel right Kimmy talk she's around
neutral illest Nezha because it's from
within Israel that is what we're
compared to this this bush
shakaal Akkad Guevara cult massive each
Jew is acting as a hurting thorn against
his brother who Marsh me Colo Allah
buckaroo theme would be dissing and he's
calling out he's making these gestures
of Russian Hara of shame and negatively
negativeness against other people
our came the Arab mm-hm that's why the
fire of God is Fernan against us in cane
hasta Hapoel by asia m and who are
parole so what is really the active part
the active part is the snare at the de
borscht is active and the fire is the
passive and that's why it says he may
haas man bow air base it's the bush that
is burning with fire he has neck Gorham
Hvar Sh it's the stance the bush itself
that is igniting the flame and that's
what it means when it says below about H
mito Costner it's mama SH the fire that
blazing fire that's in the bush kilowatt
Asian Tim shock me talk us snatch that
the blazing fire is the result of what
is inside the snare and it's the snag or
email about H it's actually the the the
wood of the the tree of this bush that's
closing the fire and the clear car ends
that paragraph as parish knock honk this
is completely the truth and the way to
look at it so now we're going to go to
verse 3 surah now the era Moses says I
will turn now I will turn around now
and look and I will be able to see right
Amy and Hazaras ooh he lit rank minima
comma whoo the whole idea of removing
himself turning around was what in order
to distance himself from this place keep
cold old sheet rock Eggman in my coma
whoo the whole time he was able to move
away further away the yoga shelter
Benina
that actually the better better view he
would have now what's the idea being too
close will obscure the vision right when
you really close up what are you looking
at like this you can't see nothing but
if I hold it here I guess as you can oh
this is a big joke with people you see
the like the older they get they hold it
further away but anyway that's just an
inside joke but here we're talking about
the reality of the situation is when
you're up close sometimes you're too
close
emotionally close maybe physically close
to really get a whole picture so Moses
says in verse three let's look at the
whole verse Moses thought I will turn
aside now and look at this great sight
why will the bush not be burned
so it's this turning away the clear cars
explaining was in order for him to get a
better view and he says go out and learn
from the light of the Sun you go at
midday when the Sun is directly over
your head
can you stare into the Sun can you look
into the Sun know what happens when it's
on the horizon you're actually 3,000
miles out of 93 million miles you're
another 3,000 miles away from the Sun
when you're on the horizon as opposed to
straight up and down
it's almost insignificant I'm sure that
really the issue has to do with the
diffraction or the refraction of the
atmosphere I have no doubt about that
it looks bigger and you can look at it
when it's rising or when it's setting
but either way this is the example he
uses as
if your 3,000 miles further away listen
to what he says go out and learn from
the the light of the Sun Chicago Chick
Corea other mellower who as long as
you're closer the closer you are to the
Sun ain't no Yahoo list acabo you're not
able to look at it Lucrecia shemesh but
misra kuba Maariv when the Sun is in the
East or the west
meaning sunset or sundown a cold mist a
clean bowl Nagoya humare hawk right
everyone is able to look at the greater
the greater the distance or zest so
true this is the or of this burning bush
shy of a snare the light that was inside
this a bush-league or del Oro Loya
commercial this talk elbow the great
brightness of this light Moses was not
able to look at limb Lily hit bone ain
Burma who toe in order to understand it
were to contemplate about its nature so
to hear me out
look at Jeremiah chapter 31 verse 2
where he mentions the distance past now
in Hebrew and English are very different
Mira Hulk Hashem nearly from a distance
Hashem appeared to me really he's
talking about time not space but either
way in Hebrew its space mara Hulk is it
is a term used for space so when God is
further away from me I can see it and
Marsh ma which is Mara Hulk distance of
alone me Cairo the closer I am and this
is true we were talking with the
Holocaust today we were talking about
anything that you know truly happens
it's devastating or tragedy as soon as
it happens it's almost impossible to
really try to understand the lesson the
further away as time goes on things
become a little bit more clearer right
your emotions are all bound up and you
only have an emotional reaction when
things like that happen
so back in the day 20-30 years ago
people used to say why did the holocaust
happen I'm not saying we have an answer
that's better today but the answer was
then was the further off it goes the
better clarity we'll have it happened so
soon happens so close in time we can't
answer it but maybe the next generation
will okay you get the idea and that's
what Jeremiah was saying and that's in
time not space but doesn't matter so -
he says also I explained in parshat the
era if you look at the verse when
Abraham is coming to do the akkada
attack he's coming to Jerusalem for the
first time well Justin was you know
Salim whatever you want to call it and
he's bringing up to Mount Moriah his son
and he's the yacht the yard at the
McComb a rock Hulk he was able to
perceive that place from a distance
okay good maybe he's on a mountaintop
looking another mountaintop and he was
in the valley it wouldn't be the same he
had to be in a distance
okay it says he he he perceived the
place from afar
Lathika a surah nomicon this whole idea
of Moses turning away that's mentioned
here is the hit rock cake minima coma
who in order to distance himself kiosk
Arabo only through the distance saying
he would be able to perceive it properly
now we're gonna get into again some of
these words that you would only know in
Hebrew the English doesn't justify but
in these verses module Allah give our
house net Moses himself said why is the
snare not being consumed but no module
Lord give our house now why is the snare
not burning that's what he says how can
he say that didn't he already say he may
have snapped boyer didn't he say this
the the the the the bush is burning then
how can he's saying why is the bush not
burning what is it what is he asking you
see the difference in the verses
I want you to turn to page four you'll
see it it says The Thorn the thorn bush
was burning with fire and then it says
why does the thorn bush not burn burning
is we're taller burning with fire so
which one is it what he should have
asked the core into the clear Carter's
medulla ain't no no Luke ow
he should have asked why is it not being
consumed it's burning with fire it's not
burning with fire no it's burning with
fire why is it not being consumed that
should have been the question so some
say 'hi a Boyar be ox mow that it was
the core itself the court the the bush
itself was burning
however module oh you've are gone and I
share hell chaos nests move up but what
Moses was asking why is it all the
surrounding weaves or external branches
why are they not burning why are they
not being consumed why is it not
spreading okay that's one attaining the
Asia reims some say shot the sick lotion
a Boyer that in his own mind he somehow
justified what he was seeing and him
what he was seeing in a logical way was
maybe it's not burning so she lied
because he would have thought if it was
burning llama ain't a no ha why is it
not being consumed none of this made any
sense this was an anomaly of nature I
mean if you're looking at a bush that's
burning the bush should be crackling and
burning right then disintegrating in
your front of your eyes that's why it
says module look you are that's why he
actually says why is it not burning it's
from his perspective it wasn't burning
eh safari showed some will explain
medaka mar the very fact that he says
the yaar hashem ki Sarli rose it was God
saw that he turned God saw that Moses
turned of a way to see God saw that
Moses turned the way to see what does
that mean mommy now he hears she Kivar
Simon come early at the terrain
so that means that God actually already
was aware of the fact that Moses the
Moses had turned away in order to come
close member to see or perhaps to
distance herself again to see if Iman
Shapiro shtiebel Russian this is what
the clear car says that the words are
surah now the Sunnah means I will turn
away
Moses thought I will turn away if that's
the case ain't muhkam the couch is if it
was just his thinking kima till I saw
vs. never Amash been the from the very
beginning he thought that the actual
bush was burning Qatar Saudi rose but
when he turned to see a little bit
better cuz I hate him Lee Rose Jochen
Russian truck code him Charlie Rose the
whole idea of turning around was in
order to see better the raw Oski ain't
abort Clow
then he actually would see that it's not
being burnt at all that's why he
actually asked a question but do I know
you Bach why is it not burning this was
a very very strange situation then the
next piece the Omer L T crowd Halong God
said do not come any closer remove your
shoes now I want you to know next next
time I do this we'll go into the whole
idea of removing the shoes and what all
that represents but right now we'll
stick with the idea that God said do not
come closer meaning to say haha Kazu
creaver heel eros that this did some
distancing is really actually coming
closer in order for him to see with his
own eyes pay the chicane no you should
know this is what it was happening to
you Eliza
Iker hum near shallow yet Caravela
Makkah Mikoto shahu that if it was not
if if it was for the main purpose of
preventing him
remember God says do not come close that
he should not come close to this very
holy place team came hardly remember
than what God should have said was
the yarra sham kiselev Oh God saw that
he turned in order to come remember it
says he turned in order to see it
doesn't say he turned in order to come
close so what does it mean he saw Ali
rose what does it mean that he turned in
order to see Ella rather sure ashan he
saw him to come Oh caderousse exactly we
thought that God saw that he turned from
his place in order to see out came ma no
ma ha beat l Elohim it was God Himself
who prevented he wanted motion not to
look at the divine presence of God I'll
came there more that's why he says I'll
take her 8th column don't come close to
here the creaver is real ciyon the whole
creaver the whole coming close has to do
with perception and vision and that's
why it says shall now shou Nalepa remove
your shoe in a tub like the creeper zoo
has nothing at all to do with this
coming close Ellen Mills of the antonov
say who it's a completely a separate
subject which we'll talk about next year
Sharma Hashem Shiga Seon Allah me bamako
my share who bow that God says to him to
remove his shoes from this place where
you're at right now
Kiku Liu odd Muscoda SH because the
whole land this whole mountain was holy
Kehaar whole rave of course devout
Kodesh M that whole mountain called
Mount Mount Sinai yeah karev the entire
mount was holy to God but some Lucas my
heirs there are Derek Haas Saito we're
going to explain all that later on like
I said we'll get to it next year in a
very logical way
Kaneesha dark shadow bow shem afar she
okay so with that I just want to tell
you look it was a heavy lesson about
CMOS schema we asked what wasn't the
this temple destroyed the second temple
was destroyed because of CMOS Kenan the
answer is yes okay so this is something
that we are still dealing with we're
dealing with partial
just imagine we're talking about the
creation of a nation the creation of a
nation okay and a nation has to have
this bond of brotherly love and this is
what God wants us to have so at the very
beginning of the formation we might as
well lay it on the table lay it flat on
the table get your act together none of
this will serve you any good you cannot
survive as a people with this type of
hatred whatever that is on whatever
level it is for any human being right
we're talking about everyone on their
own level it could be several times a
day on you know in a in a very
superficial way we have to become watch
I mean thought running is to let things
go when it comes to standing up for God
we cannot let go
we cannot over look things okay but when
it comes to me personally we're
obligated to let it slide off us like a
duck with will right let's let it go let
it go and with that I wish everyone a
shabbat shalom welcome home the Torah
