It's Friday. He should have attached the
0:03
center of Israel. Let's talk about the guy.
0:07
The man priest of Midian after whom the center is named.
0:12
Israel, it true, it's ra whatever you want to call him
0:16
with the guy had seven name. So you got a choice by Ishmael,
0:19
you throw a coma, John you throw the priest of Midian Hood, who
0:23
all happen to also be hosting Moshe most his father-in-law Why
0:28
do we need to know that he was the Coen of media which has
0:31
father and all she seemed seemingly would have been
0:33
sufficient. But there's a question in the
0:36
question is, how could you throw become the Jew?
0:40
How could they accept him as a principal to be a Jew?
0:43
You've to become Jewish. You have to accept upon
0:45
yourself. The fundamental of Judaism. you
0:50
have to understand that life of a Jew has its ups and downs and
0:55
consequently at a time in our history when life, when life was
0:58
just great, During the period of King David or during the time of
1:03
Islamic Solomon, his son we didn't accept combats because
1:08
everything was great for the Jewish people and you could
1:10
never be certain that people will not Glory Hunters.
1:13
Glory Seekers you want to jump on the wagon when it's all going
1:17
great and they're not really interested in God or the Torah
1:20
or following a life of Mitzvahs. So the principal became when
1:24
life is too good or in the future and the times is Michelle
1:27
Phan, everyone will see that the Jewish people are the chosen
1:29
people. We Won't accept converts because
1:31
you can know the motivation of the convert will always be
1:35
questioned. Same question was asked as well.
1:40
Solomon had a bunch of wives. Lots of them, one of them was
1:45
the daughter of the Pharaoh, at the time and how could she
1:48
converts as well. So this is a fascinating
1:52
perspective given by the author of the kitchen are crushed to a
1:55
gun freed in hiccups freed in his TOA commentary ayperi on
1:59
such as follows. Again, the principle is we're
2:04
worried that their intention that of why they want to convert
2:06
is questionable. Well in relation to the daughter
2:09
of pharaoh that wasn't a problem.
2:11
She came from a life of luxury life of Glory, it wasn't that
2:15
she came from nothing and she likes the glorious as she jumped
2:18
onto the Jewish. Jewish train.
2:21
She already had everything she wanted.
2:23
The same is true with you throw. A proposal says, he came out,
2:28
how many part to the desert. It says Rishi the shift will
2:32
show you throw the Abacus of the terrorist giving her praise of
2:34
you sir but telling us he came to the desert show how yo, Chef
2:39
Dakota Shalom. He had all the glory, all the
2:41
honor in media. He was the high priest.
2:44
Everyone was she was suspected him, the novel liver and his
2:48
heart still pushed him to want to join the people possession.
2:51
All my hot Korean media, and why does it call in the priest of
2:54
Midian? Shh hyah Hashem, Hiroshi.
2:57
He was the head guider. Rather the mission he was the
3:02
chief of major, the also be closer to Allah and he had all
3:05
the honor and all the glory he wants.
3:08
And nonetheless, he came to convert and therefore encoded
3:12
in. There's extra words Co amid.
3:14
John is the solution to the question of how could he
3:17
convert? He had it all.
3:19
He wasn't seeking Glory because he had it.
3:22
And nonetheless, he came to join the Jewish people.
3:26
The same could be said of any continues.
3:28
The next paragraph here. What did you throw here?
3:31
He heard of creatine arms of the splitting of the Sea and the
3:33
fight against moloch. Why didn't you come off too
3:35
crazy? I'm safe.
3:36
Well, crazy angst of all the nations freaked out there, heard
3:39
of the power of Hashem. Had he come, then he might not
3:42
have been accepted again. He was jumping on the bandwagon,
3:46
but after a late came and called everyone down Harry.
3:50
Then be so scared of these juice.
3:52
Don't be so scared. Let's fight.
3:54
We can fight. All of a sudden as now now he
3:58
comes after the family, try to take us down.
4:02
Oh he's not interested in the glories, even happy when that
4:06
reputation has been called somewhat.
4:08
So he wants to convert for the right reasons.
4:11
And therefore he came after the fight of our moloch, because
4:14
then, he would certainly be accepted.
4:18
So what does it for us as it should be obvious?
4:22
What are we doing this 2004? Are we on a society's bandwagon?
4:26
Do we just do it - like everybody I'll be just or do we
4:30
understand what it is that we're doing?
4:32
If an outsider can come and see the Beauty and the depth and the
4:35
profundity and the meaning in what we're doing and that's
4:39
mysterious wrote that every time you hear the set, the name of
4:41
the sender of this week here, the laning we have to ask
4:44
ourselves this week. The following question would I
4:47
join? Would I be able to explain to
4:50
somebody else? Why I'm a Jew why they should
4:52
join if they were to ask? Let's learn from history.
4:55
Are you proud of our people in at the day there's a tremendous
5:00
