Shnayim Yomi - Shoftim - Sheni - #2 - Rabbi Moshe Finkelstein - A King Who Leads

The Gomorrah says in that when the times of Msiah it's going to be meaning the face of the nation of the generation will be like the face of a dog. Now what does that mean? So I heard an very interesting shot that the face of a dog mean to say what is a dog? You ever see a dog an owner walking his dog? He's walking down the block right the dog is always in the front right but who is really leading who? You know how you know who's leading who? When the dog turns around, he's always looking to see if his master is following him. Right? That's the that when the the leaders of the generation are not really leading, they may be in the front, but if they're always looking back and seeing what is the the my um followers, quote unquote, right? What are are they following me? And if they're not following me, I'll turn and try to, you know, meet up with them. That's not considered to be a leader. That's a dark. In this week's para there's a mitzvah called that you should appoint yourself a king right that's the mitzvah the problem is that in times of when when approached and asked for a king got upset at them he said right and he got upset why did he get upset at him the says the answer is in the way they asked over here it says on you want a leader to lead you they asked Right? Give us a Melik. Why? Not because we want someone to lead, but we just want a leader in order to just, you know, as as maybe a face as a leader, but we didn't really want somebody that's going to actually lead us. And that was the difference between the mitz this week's par and what kra asked.
