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
