you're listening to the weekly partial podcast with Ari Gold wag recorded weather shams never-ending assistance in Robuchon which is about fifty seven seventy nine 2018 this week's marshes partial schmoes we have the beginning of the book of Exodus the Jewish people are enslaved in Egypt to the Egyptians many many years two hundred and ten years the Jewish people it's time for them to be redeemed God would like to send a redeemer to redeem them his name is Moshe Rabbeinu Moses and it's time to send him and a Shem appears to him in the burning bush that's no no Kyle the bush is burning but it's not consumed and Moshe Rabbeinu covers his eyes he doesn't want to look he doesn't want to do something forbidden which is to look at God as it were or to look at this amazing revelation is godly revelation I'd like to read to you from a behind Freelander in quotes the measure should says like this yes turn wish upon of Kyary me happy till i came a verse says in chapter 3 verse 6 Moshe covers his eyes covers his face because he doesn't want to look at something which is godly America's all I say just tells you be sure when car clobber be a Shia Michael I guess he's gonna be swimming carnival Shia a HUD manheimer lay off us I wish I could see a gesture pun off one says that Moshe did something incorrect by covering his face she loo late like history poem if he had not done so Galileo could his Proclamation Mala Mala Mala matzah Shem would have revealed to Moses what's above and what's below everything he would have understood all the secrets of creation mashallah mashallah sadly I see would have known the past and what was going to be in the future with Saif be Kichler eyes in the end Moses does indeed ask to see that what she turned away from here she never has a verse says in Exodus chapter 33 Harini noskov idaho well Shabana says show me your honor you wanted to see America this walk will dementia God said to Moses I need Basile arizuka VA start the panetta when I wanted to show it to you I wanted to show you my my call to be called to view all of my good I've shown you a Murloc ah when I wanted to show you you turned away you closed your you you covered your face now I'm telling you akela you're running out of a high that you can't see me and live should be Castile of Akasha well I wanted you didn't want when I requested you didn't confirm the request well I may be sure this if Lima she might be lady be sure the settlement says something amazing even though Moshe Rabbeinu did something which was incorrect which was to turn away according to this opinion of how PK narrowly he did indeed God did indeed show Moshe Rabbeinu his all of these things that he turned away from biscaia astir much upon off he showed him in the reward there was a dual character of what happened here there was a dual thing that went on he turned away which was in a certain sense incorrect but there was something good about it we're gonna find out what that was but the fact that he turned away also earned him a reward redeemer by the scarf i used to mention upon having a merit of the fact that moshe covered his face the deeper a tional mush upon ml poem corresponding to the fact that he covered his face a sham spoke to him face to face with his car key ra in the merit of the fact that he was afraid he was afraid to look by Yiruma gadgets a love people were afraid to look at him boobies scare me may have beat Munusamy abused if we were afraid to look at him when his face was shining after he spoke to god a mount sinai he had to put on a mask so that was in the in the merit of the fact that he he didn't look he was afraid to look and in the merit of the fact that he was afraid to look was that he was afraid when was that he was afraid to look between us such a Miyabi it's so he was able to see the vision of God so climb Friedlander asks the obvious question the h-11 might do it but i must measure Stepanov why did moshe Rubino cover his face so according to this opinion it was not the right thing to do and according to the second part of it there was a scar reward for it why did he do it or his Ayase is martial arts punished I'll coach Baku the very fact that the Bryce is telling us that it was a time now sham wanted to shine his light upon Moshe Hashem is coming and saying I want to shine my light on you and Moshe turns away why did he do that she rots Allah golly says say this abrir she wanted to reveal to him his secrets of creation might do a theory of why did he refuse zeiss feride furthermore because al baku is Hester pond of should offer also if our sages tell us that if there are seasons a critical of motion of area as it were and see that it was incorrect what he did by hiding his face in came I do is awfully scar lost upon him so then we need to understand what does it mean that he received a reward for covering his face she summoned ubermensch upon him upon him the reward was as we said that God spoke to him face to face make sure you meet us they love they were afraid to come close to him I read lay off us if it was incorrect what he did why is he being rewarded for it ok so we need to understand this idea what is the idea so there's a few things that he says in here I'm not gonna read everything inside I'll just tell you quickly a little bit of what he says he says that there's an idea there was a concept of when we learn Torah so there's different ways that we can receive the Torah there's different ways that we can receive information he quotes a story with the grub with a gleaming Vilna the genius of Vilna to grow where he had the opportunity to receive wisdom to receive understandings through Malakand through angels and yet Moshe I'm sorry Moshe and yet the grah who was on a great great level that level of Moshe but on a great level he said that he wasn't interested in receiving the information from these angels but rather he wanted to receive the information directly from Hashem as it were through his own efforts through his own efforts through his own work ok and what is the idea here what is the concept here that there is a concept he explains of something being given for free it's only being given for free that's not earned Moshe Rabbeinu says we'll climb for did not want to hear did not want to see something that he had not yet earned that he had not yet proven that he was worthy of Hashem wanted to give him a free ride so to speak for him to be able to receive a vision and understanding for free emotionally they don't want to receive it for free he wanted it to be earned we find that there's such a concept regards to that what we need to understand before I explain the concept where we see it elsewhere we need to understand what is the idea why is my sure I've been a nutshell was offering him a free gift why doesn't he want to receive it what is the idea of receiving it and having earned it what happens if a person has not earned it what happens if a person receives it for free why is that not such a good idea and the example that I'm freely under gives is of the Jewish people Claudius will receive an amazing free gift it was a revelation and yamas off' at the sea of reeds as they went through the water the water killed the Egyptians that saved them the water was dry land for them so our sages tell us that they had an amazing revelation at Sinai they saw a greater even the lowliest person saw a greater vision than your Eskimo busey Ezekiel he describes the mess Ameer cover what it looks like in a throne the throne room as it were of God and and everybody saw that everybody saw that at Yom Tov and also at Mount Sinai there was an amazing revelation for the Jewish people and yet what happens after that immediately after that the Jewish people complain after himself after our scene I after Mount Sinai forty days later they serve the golden calf you see that when people receive a revelation for free when they receive something that they have not yet earned before it's the time even though God is offering it to them nevertheless the result is that when a person hasn't earned it then when there's no yireh we'll see what the idea of euro is that when there's no fear of heaven when it's not a proper respect that's that's even more accurate to say it's not a proper respect for the thing that the person is receiving when it just comes for free so it loses its value and not only does it lose its value it's it can be completely lost which is what happened with the Jewish people almost with the golden calf they lost their relationship with God it took 120 days of Moshe Rabbeinu or 80 days of motion obey no asking God to forgive them so that's idea Moshe Rabbeinu did not want to receive for free he didn't want to receive for free the revelation that Hashem wanted to give him okay so in a certain sense he was correct and yet we see hazael say that there was something wrong with what he did okay so we need to understand that let's see I'd like to read some of this inside because I want to hear the way they're applying Freelander expresses this idea which is very powerful it says Tom know stuff my doing is too much upon of kifisia Kossoff that sound of I used to rush upon of another reason why excuse me why Moshe Rabbeinu covered his face Kyary maybe tell the king he was afraid to look at God was afraid to look at something God leaked much Omer will you show me ostomy iva shana are you signing did it out of love person who loves doesn't hate came and shame much I'm sorry I just skipped a few lines awesome hero Shana you're a bite I'm sorry alright let's back up you have three this again I say this is how you read it I say me llamo you know you've seen a person is obligated to serve God out of love because the person who loves doesn't hate a same a gyro also it's imperative to serve God had a year out of fear out of respect in a yari bite because the person who does it out of respect series God out of fear so then they won't rebelled okay now think about it inside in terms of a relationship no person has a relationship with somebody else so so there's an aspect of love but if I love somebody so much you know I can I can consume them with my love all right it's possible for me to not give them any space they need there needs to be boundaries and it's also respected otherwise I'm gonna end up in trouble bab-oh euros itself Muhammad said circular speech to me days be roham explains that in every single circumstance a person needs to use these two character traits have a vieira love and fear Kaman shamash lemurs is they because they complete each other hahaha has released 'no the love that a person has will help him not just not to hate bloom as ace meet with hero scheiße bethe Correia Olive Ridley Dave Sina corresponding to this or on the other side of things when person does it when person does something because he feels forced to do something he feels he has no choice he's doing it out of fear so it could bring a person just to hatred you know preparing forces their child to do something so even if it's the right thing for the child the child could end up kicking back iike Gama Avila vada enema speaker love alone is also not enough type table of Aquarius era when person does things out of a trance amount of love and closeness he's learned the era which is a lack of respect a lack of fear although the Levite it can also cause a person to rebel climber lovingly diesels limit actually by gas by a person can see the person he loves in a lower in a lower way because I'm so close to a child is very close to the parent doesn't have the proper respect for the parent it's all love it needs to be a balance officiai abasement entire it's one of our view which was true when man Tyra so when God gave the Torah to the Jews at Mount Sinai so there were certain people among them not even of you who they didn't have a proper respect let's see the Venus fellow showed up the other by okla by each day I used to they should have been consumed they should have been lost they were eating and drinking and yet and yet Shannon decided not to but there was a certain zil's a certain lack of respect of these great people at Mount Sinai the revelation they didn't respect it they didn't they earned a day I'm sorry they didn't earn it they received it without earning it okay zasio show my sister upon a few so that's the reason why Moshe covered his face I guess Avishai died named by my Drago cook-off dude I'll show you a shaman he held that he didn't have a high enough level of your ashram I'm of fear of heaven Lahaina shashlik Aviles Gilley ha avocado - Burcu therefore he was afraid to receive the revelation of love that God wanted to show him sure rights of God's the Gillian is gaga wanted to show him very high revelations show me heaven on my tragus she gave Abigail a shell Hashem he was afraid that he would come - so what happened with not even a view they ended up coming into the level of name into the cachaca - in the holy of holies with a fire which was a foreign fire which was in it which caused their death right so ultimately when a person doesn't have a proper respect a person doesn't have a proper respect for the relationship so then it can be it can lead to a loss of the relationship in the case of none of you it caused the loss of their life this is what Moshe Robin was concerned about Zev I used to rush upon earth to hear such shame shame are you all right by it so that's why he was that's why he was covering his face because he didn't want to come into the place of receiving it without having the proper respect for God but now what is the understanding of Hazael who say that he didn't he made a mistake Leah foster shared circle is Ali CI sir I'm number halls ice he didn't do correctly she livin on a higher level Susan I'm Freelander the holidays kizomba qs-- step on up initially chalet officer however the our sages tell us that that which he covered his face was incorrect a few shots as I stand thirty of Shammai even though he was doing it because of his fear of heaven uma do I what's the reason hurry circle so much macabre automaton oh she like if he might macabre hassle and he explains that in the end all we talk about a person receiving something from God when a person receives goodness the person receives whatever it is in the world so it's coming from classes coming from God's kindness it's not coming because he deserves it omnomnom to the FEMA Jurgis a shaman ba Hashimoto's doc it's true that in the level where he was standing where he was up to so his concern was correct looking I'm Cabela's this car and that is why in fact he received reward for that Acme EDA but from the other side of it the other perspective you know how you bit my drag of got via yes sir if he had been on a higher level well he had sir faster point of so we wouldn't have needed to cover his face I'm a caliber Din if you would have raised himself up to be on the level of what God expected of him he could have received it and he could have earned it Akhilesh work O'Hara let's give a day if Hashem is showing him God's honor this time I'm sure awful yes Roy Acuff so chemin sank to him it's possible that you can be on this level to be able to receive this and gannets via LiveScience artless alice Shamokin o'reilly Gilley's and especially so huzzah lure satyrs when they say that there was something missing the motion of a know made a mistake in a certain sense so they're saying that he could have risen up in his service of God but let me left me I mean a knee could have just said in front of God Here I am all you days lol you bullied a Zilla Killa Sheena bye-bye obviously was I said as the Torah says about him he was the UH nameko Laden who is the most humble person that ever lived but he could have subdued himself even more even deeper and understood that if action was to show it to him so he must be able to receive that and it wouldn't have been azuz oh it wouldn't have been a show of disrespect Jewish Erica's all on a lot mark revolution we find in regards to the angels that are nearby where God so to speak his throne of glory is so means the ostrich crisis occurs Nelson Arden or from the sweat of the hayasaka - of the holy angels so the sweat comes down and it creates a river called gnarly North Zaius insertion I'm Sherman what is the idea of their sweat it's an indicator of their um I'm of their nervousness of their respect of their fear of God is their shunoros ow that's where our sages say it's at Sofia I'm not sure manager should be cached Eli bacastow that that was the problem with motion when I wanted to you weren't interested I know you say yoga with circle of a Koosh ourselves but Salas about us Hashem you could have the result are telling us that a Shem was saying to Moshe a banner that you could have raised up your level of service of God Moses a clearance is a sham beheading imagine Gaza and you would have been able to experience God according to your level I'm the Meetup however again from the other side of the cave a shyster punished Allah how you meet clear avoid us how your show my since it came from the power of his why did he cover his face it was because he had a level of Europe fear of God Douglas car shows up in the stock a cloudless ocean are running our in light on the my saw in the end all he was able to go up onto the mountain on two hearts unite and be there for forty days and forty nights groovey his stocking and his body was so purified she knees anti-government a show he didn't need to eat or drink but rather he received sustenance from from the spirit from his spiritual side from his soul came of course of Arabic Allah and what it has come from what did this idea come from he is good he had gone up to the level of a mala you take out your Agadir scheisse by sakazaki if that's good for the community because of his great year because of his great respect for God so he purified his body and his physicality a key Karan opening my show to the point where his face was shining and when I want to bring out from from this amazing peace for a time Friedlander I want to bring out is is a very important idea which is a mistake that's prevalent today in Western society and that is the idea of spirituality having spirituality just for its own sake having spirituality not within the confines of a person's obligation toward God it's like the the I want to feel good I want to I want the Torah to give me a good feeling I want the I want the midst is to feel good I want everything to be a spiritual experience I want godliness in my life I want to feel like I wanna feel high from my spiritual experiences and I'm not coming to knock and say that that's not possible or that it's not true or that it's not important but what I want to show I want us to learn what I'd like to take for myself as well out of this lesson of Moshe Rabbeinu is that to have a spiritual experience to have a spiritual high to enjoy the mitzvahs to enjoy that's very nice but and needs to be an aspect of yura needs to be an aspect of respect an aspect of I am not just going to enjoy the spiritual aspects of my relationship with God I need to also do that which God expects of me I need to earn it in a certain sense there are certain high odorous there are certain rules and regulations it's called the Torah it's called all of the commandments of the Torah Torah tells us what a relationship with God looks like and it's not just God giving to me it's not just having spiritual experiences it's not just having revelations or whatever it may be having a good time with the Torah but rather there's also an aspect of respect there's an aspect of doing that which God expects of us there's an aspect of respecting the laws of the Torah and just like in a relationship between a man and a woman or between a parent and a child so it's beautiful to have love is beautiful to have relationship it's beautiful to come close to each other however there are times in places where it's inappropriate there are times in places when there needs to be respect it's wonderful for a parent to be friends with a child to direct a child to help that child but the child also needs to have respect for the parents child also needs to know that there are hog odorous that's why the Torah gives us an obligation to respect our parents that's why a child's not supposed to sit in his parents place it's why child is not supposed to a child's expected to stand up when a parent comes in because the parent is someone who represents in a certain sense the godliness that's in a person's life and just like between ourselves in God we have to make sure that we have a proper level of respect for the Torah for His commandments for God himself so - we need to have we learn that in our relationships we learn that with our relationships whether it's a parent-child relationship but also in a in a husband and wife relationship it's also true that there are there's time there's a time in a place for the relationship to to be one of a Havas we said you know if sorry nay a person who loves doesn't hate right but if a person doesn't have the proper level of respect with other persons boundaries so then it can lead to a breakdown in that relationship so that's the idea that I want to bring out here I want to bless you and ask you to bless me ashram should help us that we should be able to understand this idea to recognize that we need in our relationship with God in our relationships with others a perfect balance between our love of God love of others and year a proper respect for the boundaries and for a certain fear of doing that which is wrong and receiving from God without properly having earned it so thank you so much for listening have
