- 0:01It's Friday his shield about Tara for the center of michella.
- 0:06There are so many awesome moments in this week's hair
- 0:09dryers. The fact that the Navy is Rollo
- 0:12walking as free people. Then they're terrified that the
- 0:16Egyptians are coming. The sea splits miraculously
- 0:20water that is undrinkable, becomes drinkable.
- 0:25Haven't get to know, Aces plays with us.
- 0:27Plenty of water to drink then food for all doubt, the sky that
- 0:31the quails appeared a manner. I'm not like camps to fight
- 0:35them. It's just story packed with
- 0:38intense moments. What's interesting is that the
- 0:42narrative voice of the terror? The narrator that's telling the
- 0:47story has shown that is giving us what happened.
- 0:53Chose to include various moments in this journey.
- 0:57Perhaps weren't essential not the Highlight moments but
- 1:01nonetheless they highlight something fundamental about the
- 1:04Jewish people and perhaps ultimately about ourselves B'nai
- 1:10Israel are slaves with a slave mentality to a slave took to
- 1:14attack. Their Master is quite difficult,
- 1:17because you still feel that you are second-class citizen because
- 1:21that's what you were taught. That's what your parents were
- 1:23taught us. Your grandparents were taught
- 1:24going back in time. There's a comment of the b'nai
- 1:28Israel towards the beginning of the serger when they look up in
- 1:32Egyptians are chasing after them.
- 1:33They say something. So messed up, so twisted.
- 1:36How many bleep ink there and boom.
- 1:38It's rhyme. Most sure I've been with and not
- 1:40what, I not enough spaces in the the graveyards of Egypt's to
- 1:44bury us there. But you've brought us to the
- 1:46disc, into the desert to bury us hit, and we're gonna die by The
- 1:49Sword and die by triggered by the Egyptians and I by thirst.
- 1:53They complain about later on. Well, mr.
- 1:56Boehner, told you ended the surgery in Desperate.
- 1:58Panicked Hashem. You do anything to provide these
- 2:01people with water, ultimate artists Colony.
- 2:04They're going to Stone me to death.
- 2:07Powerful dramatic moments in the development of the mindset of
- 2:12them, or the maturing Nation, how they cope with difficulties
- 2:16in this Egyptians chasing after then they completely Panic.
- 2:19They say what they say. The possibly justify my brain
- 2:22can find them. It's fine.
- 2:24And they can't do anything in response.
- 2:28Hashem, says you just stand there, you stand there and you
- 2:31will see Hashem. Elokenu Hashem will do the
- 2:34fighting but I'm talking. We shouldn't you just go.
- 2:37Points. Because they weren't capable
- 2:40like a child taking their first steps that falls down and then
- 2:44cries and puts their hands out for a parent to lift them up.
- 2:46Again, that was the b'nai Israel but the end of the day cedra.
- 2:53And it's not so many weeks after The Exodus most sure our Bay
- 2:56News once again can frighten confronting a Calamity but now
- 3:00it says the assure you can pick some guys, we're going to be
- 3:03part of an army for going to fight against our Malik.
- 3:07How did the nation that weeks earlier, not that many weeks
- 3:11earlier will completely useless struck dumb?
- 3:14Couldn't do anything. Cried out the most ridiculous
- 3:17things in the world. How did they transform into a
- 3:20nation that were able to stand and fight?
- 3:24And more. So why would Hashem include
- 3:26this? Why is this journey described in
- 3:28the way? It is definitely not a highlight
- 3:30moment in the surgery you could have focused a lot more on
- 3:33certain key major stories, major events in their life.
- 3:38Perhaps it's because the development of a Nation
- 3:41ultimately is the development of the individuals that make up
- 3:43that nation and perhaps to suggest that it's not always
- 3:46possible to demand from ourselves.
- 3:49A certain response sometimes we're just not ready for it.
- 3:53We might want it. We might think that that's the
- 3:55correct thing to do to stand up and fight against an enemy to
- 3:58take them on. But ultimately, we have to
- 4:01concede that we're not yet ready that it sometimes takes days or
- 4:06weeks other events to develop into the people that we need to
- 4:11become. And they had two and a half
- 4:14months after leaving Egypt. Benes, show already in the
- 4:18Sinai, desert spoiler alert for next week and they're ready,
- 4:21prepared to say, NASA finish. Mama But in their early
- 4:26Journeys, they stumble and they falter.
- 4:30Maybe there's by the terror including it, it's making that
- 4:33reasonable. It's saying it's okay.
- 4:35That we don't always have The Confident.
- 4:37It's okay. That we don't always do things.
- 4:39That's just part of the growing up process as part of the
- 4:42development of oneself. It's in these events are no less
- 4:47fundamental to our understanding of our relationship.
- 4:49With Hashem of our relationship with ourselves and the Sea
- 4:52splitting of food falling out of the sky.
- 4:55Give it a thought pops. Let me know what you think.
- 4:58Have a wonderful day and a good shops.
