0:03
of bow. Towards the end of the center of
0:07
the pastor tells us for higher loss.
0:08
On the other hand, these to fill in, should be a sign on your
0:11
armor. A total of has been in a car on
0:13
a symbol to in your eyes. Why keep a close at yard with us
0:17
strong? And hopefully unashamedly rajim
0:20
took us out of Midstream if you contemplate for a moment, how
0:25
many times in the day we obsess? We mentioned that this Egypt
0:30
narrative get up in the morning and go to show you say the
0:32
Shema. Boom, you've got the you've got
0:35
you've got coming out of It's rhyme.
0:36
Something have the custom of reading the passages that are
0:39
contained within side of the tefillin.
0:41
So the two passages in the Shema we say during governing, but the
0:44
other passages like the one I just read to you or not set as
0:46
part of our doll, bring some for custom to read those.
0:49
So you're going from sure all and have breakfast.
0:52
Okay. Get to launch our sandwich.
0:53
You bench again with Shrine get to Shoppers say Kiddush.
0:56
Midstream everywhere is a myth Shrine Egypt, Egypt The Exodus.
1:00
It seems to be as it's a narrative that we repeat again
1:02
and again and again why is that so A masterful piece of
1:07
commentary by the Run bun. Knock manatees Is he deals with
1:13
this question why so many mitzvahed?
1:16
So he takes us through how idolatry or atheism perhaps
1:21
entered the world that at first there were people one category
1:25
who denied that there is a God the world is eternal business.
1:29
No such thing as a creator that brought the world into existence
1:33
others. Except a Creator God they're
1:36
actually called deists for those you like to know interesting
1:40
words, but they deny his knowledge of individual matters.
1:44
How does God know and is their knowledge in the most high
1:48
Hashem is distant from the world.
1:49
He doesn't know what's going on others the third category they
1:53
admit that he has knowledge. But they deny the principle of
1:58
hosh kaha brightest that there is Divine Providence and that
2:02
God does not watch over us. There is no punishment.
2:05
There's no reward. How do you turn that around says
2:09
there are but when Hashem is pleased to bring about a change
2:13
in the Adaptive is thinking what can he do he can bring about a
2:16
miracle a change in the natural order.
2:18
He said no he can hack in to what we perceive as nature.
2:22
Why can he do that? I can he change the natural
2:24
world because he created it. So then I Jim decides to teach
2:29
people a lesson. Hey, it's me.
2:30
I'm here. I'm real what he can do.
2:32
Is he performs a miracle and then people's false beliefs that
2:36
the Always was and there is a closed system shattered because
2:41
the system has been altered and that clearly indicates a
2:44
powerful source that is in it able to break in to nature.
2:50
But what if he first of all tells a prophet that only person
2:55
and that Holy person tells somebody tells an audience tells
2:58
the king of Egypt, tells an audience of Jews.
3:01
That clearly indicates and I Shem is involved in our lives
3:03
and our shame knows what we're doing.
3:06
That is exactly what we have again and again, back in
3:09
biblical times. Now, there's no way it's logical
3:13
to assume that for every smell out there that wants to deny the
3:17
reality of got all that a genre is what we do.
3:20
And then I shame cares. What we're doing doesn't seem
3:23
logical to to assume says the ramban dash cams going to
3:26
perform Miracles each. And every time that another
3:28
member of the human race, has this problem. and so, instead I
3:34
Shem commands us with various mitzvahs, And the great and
3:39
emits was that we have that remind us of your husband's
3:41
dream. Take us back to a time in our
3:43
history when these miracles did take place he therefore
3:46
commanded us that we should always make a memorial or a sign
3:49
of that. Which our eyes have seen that.
3:52
We should transmit this idea to our children and their children
3:55
to their children for all eternity.
3:58
And he placed great emphasis on it.
4:00
As an as is indicated by the fact that one is liable.
4:04
For courage for eating bread and pasta, for abandoning the peso
4:09
sacrifice for not doing it properly. he's further required
4:13
of us that we inscribe Upon Our arms and between our eyes, in
4:16
the midst of tefillin, all that we have seen, Will the signs,
4:21
and the Wonders, put on our door posts.
4:24
Remember we mentioned it in the morning and the evening.
4:27
In that way, we have a tradition.
4:30
We have a mechanism to say, hey, the story is real.
4:34
Why? My father told me, where do you
4:35
get from his father? We passed on passed on to remind
4:38
ourselves. That yes, there was a time we
4:40
have inherited a story through the generations.
4:42
That reminds us of the reality of Hashem.
4:45
Hashem knows what we're doing. Then I share my interacts with
4:49
us, reward and Punishment and it's all real.
4:52
I said then the many myths that we have are designed to help us.
4:56
Formulate a real intimate. Relationship with Hashem
5:03
knowledge of Hashem. We do that to remembering the
5:06
Egypt episode throughout our day and throughout our week, have a
5:10
very good day and a wonderful shoppers.
