Journey to Latvia: Dvinsk - The Rogotchover's Brilliant Approach to the Episode of Mei Meriva

It's okay. Okay. Hi everyone. We're leaving the city of Dinsk. We were on our rugged want to share with you a amazing approach of the rugged shovenu striking the rock. Many of the first uh deal with what exactly did Moshe do wrong? He should have spoke to the rock and he hit the rock and why is this called me au what what strife was there? What fighting was there? There was no fighting. They needed water so they asked for water. There are many different perm. The rugged sho has the most unique approach to the whole episode of Mayiba. It's found in the ornas on paras ornas and uh by the way I want to I want to tell you that how do we have all these writings of the nasp where does it come from the tnaspak had a talmed uh of citroron as well as he had a daughter and they were moer nephesh to so to speak sneak back into the vince while the Nazis were approaching and they procured all of his manuscripts in microfilm and they were able to rescue almost all of the writings of the arsame on microfilm. Unfortunately, they both sacrificed their lives to do so. But we have all the writings of the ars today through the msesh of this student through citroron and his daughter and they smuggled out the writings of the ars on of the rugged on microfilm. So here the uh he says something incredible. The says doesn't say m the stick. What do you mean the stick? Well, what's which is the stickenu in his humility thought? There are two sticks in clam. There's my stick that I made the mak and then there's the stick of arin which in paras kak right before kukas arin put into the kadesh kadashim and it sprouted. So moisha in his humility thought when god said the stick he meant a stick not his stick he thought Aaron was greater than him. Now what difference does it make if Misha uses aroine stick or his own stick? Well there's a big difference. What was Aron's stick made out of? Was made out of eights. Eights is mabel to What was Mosherenu's stick made out of? Mosherenu's stick. Rashi says in Bashalak, the Batsur that the mat of Mosa was made out of a very strong material sanirino that could crack a rock. So there's a fundamental difference between the material that Aaron stick was made out of and that Mosha stick was made out of. wasn't clever. Uh, but maybe it wasn't because it already blossomed. So, okay. So, our own stick was made out of wood and Mosha Raenu's stick was made out of rock. Now, if Mosha would have spoken to the to the rock, everything would have been perfect. But Mosha hit the rock, which is not the end of the world. But he hit the rock with the wrong stick. What's the problem? The is that flowing water if what caused it to flow was the water is t. So when Mosha hit the rock with arrow and stick, the water that comes out of the rock is to now that it's no one could go to the mikvah. The nashim can't go to the mikvah. The nashim can't go to the mikvah. There's no peace. There's no sham and clal had used his own stick with that's made out of rack which is not then the would the water that came out of rack would not have been either. So the rugged says the sin of was the misplaced humility of says akin to we know that was criticized for excessive humility and they cause destruction. So likewise thought Aaron was greater than him. He hit it with Aaron's stick. It caused the water to become tame. They didn't have a mikvah for 40 years. Is that possible? But that the rag says this whole period they didn't have a mikvah was the mikvah what was the miriam came from the from the rock from hitting the rock but the water is mab the water's t because it was with that is the sin of mariva avu is says the This in other words, the water became tame. Anyway, that's some uh for your consumption. We'll do another one soon.
