[Music] the experience was so moving for people when we say moshe kibble tore me senai moshe received the torah not from hakodesh baraku of course he got it from god but he received it from sinai meaning from an experience in which people were seeing the lightning they were moved by the thunder it was a total sensory experience our experience with learning torah is supposed to be one that is just that an experience it's supposed to be alive the aim of the year of arrest of isaiah and also basimcha it's got to have that appreciation that it's as if we're standing at mime and arsenal we're speaking with akersboroku so it's got to have some seriousness but it also has enthusiasm and love and excitement both of these elements of that sense of emo of awe and the sense of ahava and love enthusiasm are expressed later in this aliyah the people stood back and hakuras baruch who says you've seen that i have appeared to you minas shamayim and be careful i have appeared to you jewish people so don't try to create this image in a physical form don't try to cr recreate the mahmud hasina experience of being close with hashem in a physical manifestation of elohim and elohei gods of silver and gods of gold well that also can have a homiletic level of interpretation keseth comes from the word love nirsof nirsafta you have desired and zev gold the gemara has in massachusetts yuma an association of gold with redness actually different shades color of gold but redness or strictness harshness anger even sakura sparkle says be careful don't make me into some kind of hippie free love god of elohim and also don't make me into some kind of angry vindictive god don't make god in your own image says we have to be actually thankful for atheists because all the things that atheists don't believe in we don't believe in either sometimes we project a karakol in a certain light we wear glasses and whatever those glasses are tinted with that's what we project on akureshbaarhu akashboku is telling us don't make projections try to understand kivyakol to the extent that we possibly can what akrash baruch's or insof what his light means to the world without imposing our own values sometimes those values might be wonderful values but they give us a misconception of who akersh baruch is he says don't make me into this kind of god don't make me into that kind of god let's be open it goes back to the parasha beginning vayishma yisro let's listen to what is to say for us and then we can have a truer appreciation to the extent that any human being can have of akrishba who's razon of his will of his vision for us in our world [Music] you
