Israel. The par of the beginning of the para begins in Israel. The Israel hears what is it that he hears that causes him to join to convert be part of Israel. So Rash famously quotes the opinions of Rabbi and Rabbi Alzar either heard about and's victory or heard about the n the miracle of Sams. But the actually tells us that there's a third opinion, a third possibility of what it is that he hears. That's the opinion of her who says that what is heard is about he hears about the seinal event of and the of that is what inspires him. And the question of course is first and foremost is this distinction between or whether it's whether or not the whole episode the story of isra if it's then of course that perhaps it's more likely it's more likely about afterra then the answer of it being that which inspires him is then of course it makes more sense but is writes in a beautiful safer that he writes Kish explains that actually sure he heard about yes and yes he hear hears about all of the all of the miraculous events that took place in hears about hears about everything but there's something uniquely singular something inspiring about matra that makes it an impression on in a very different way what is it that makes such an impression on Israel about matan tora so he explains that actually on a level that was very lowly that on In one minute they're on a very low level and then in the next moment this level that is exalted.
