Shnayim Yomi - Shemot - Shishi - #6 - Rabbi Efrem Goldberg - Master the Material

Keep up the mikra. We are up to Shishi. And here's a quick thought in Shishi. Moshe together with his wife and children heads down to Mit to fulfill his mission to be the spokesperson of Hashem and to redeem the people. And it describes he takes his wife as he puts them on not a donkey but the donkey with the What's the donkey? Not a donkey. It could have been any random donkey, any Uber donkey. Why was it with the he why is it specifically the donkey? And tell us this is the same donkey that Aram saddled for the same donkey that Mashiah's going to ride. It's the donkey that was created in Benmash of creation. It is not just a donkey. It's the donkey. And the Mahar writes is means material physical. You see, Bum has an inappropriate relationship with his donkey because the material ther the physical world owns him. Whereas Aram then Moshe and ultim they're the driver. They ride the donkey rather than the donkey owning them. Bam has an inappropriate relationship with materialism with the physical. It's intimate. It's romantic. The material owns him. We are to modeled after a Moshe and Mashiach. When we learn how to properly place the insur in the lush of the maral when we can give a proper form and elevate and transform the physical and material help us serve Hashem that's when Mashiach will come down and riding his donkey as well.
