Shnayim Yomi - Bo - Shlishi - #3- Rabbi Yaakov Glasser

[Music] par the Alia of schi the Aliyah of schi talks about the notion that parro finally acques to some of moshe's request and allows him to take the Jewish people out of MIT but Falling short of completely indulging his demands in that parro wants to retain control of all of the cattle and the flock and the possessions of the Jewish people so the ramban explains that this was a pragmatic consideration that if he held on to the wealth of am Isel then he was guaranteed that they would ultimately return what kind of nation is going to soj into the desert and without any resources is simply run for their lives rather they would under they would end up returning to mitzraim to reclaim all of their possessions and everything they have and we know this to actually be a fair assessment because later on in the story of the Jewish people every time we encounter a moment in the midbar where our resources have been compromised whether it's water or food or general fear of outside threats the first reaction of CLA Isel is let's return to MIT so parro correctly assessed the mindset of the slave mentality of the Jewish people however so what was so fundamentally problematic about this so why couldn't mosha who simply give into this and the answer is that the real impass between parro's perspective and the approach of Yos is in understanding the role of material life in to this was a total bation there's your theology there's how you relate to your gods and then there's your Humanity your Indulgence in the material world and so therefore to them you want to go worship God so go worship God go into the forest surround yourself with a spiritual environment and create a sense of connection to the Transcendent experience of encountering what do you need all these items for what do you need all this livestock for but in y That's not how we serve Theon that's how Angels serve Theon human beings serve a with their Humanity we summon from within ourselves the totality of our human experience and the material world is part of that what it means to serve a is to elevate the physical is to go into the desert and not just commune with God but to take with us all of the elements of our life that animate our physical existence and consecrate them to a to elevate the totality of our humanity and so therefore this was this was not possible mosu turned to parro and said to him independent of all the pragmatic considerations we can't serve a k without the full picture without the entire package [Music]
