Shnayim Yomi - Shemot - Sh'vi'i - #7 - Rabbi Efrem Goldberg - Freedom Toward Something Greater

We are on the home stretch and we're up to Mosha and Aaron come to parro confront them and challenge them and they say let our people go. Why? So they can celebrate with me in the wilderness. It's a peculiar word. Let them go. I would say let them go because they deserve to be free. Let them go because they shouldn't be enslaved. Let them go because you have no right to hold them. What do you mean? So they can make a in the wilderness. It's not there's a party they need to go to and that's why set them free. The answer is you see later when Moshe once again makes the request demand of parro. When par says, "Who's going?" And Mosha says, "Everyone, our boys and our girls, our sons and our daughters, our young and our old, we're all going." Why? Because it's explained that is a to be alive, to be in a relationship with Hashem, to be living a meaningful purposeful life is a we don't want freedom. The freedom that Moshe and were demanding was not freedom from but freedom to it was not simply freedom from bondage. It was freedom to a life and a yiddish kite that it's to be a life of observance of Torah of mitzvos a life in which so therefore they keep coming back. It's not liberty and freedom from slavery. It's not freedom from but Moshe and Aaron are demanding a freedom to a freedom to being an e hashem. To be an hashem is a life of being a maz on completing and finishing mikra for paras shimos.
