What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Daniel Glatstein’s own words— taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

Okay, good morning. Amazing words of the Chofetz Chaim. At the end of the parashah, Miriam spoke lashon hara about Moshe. Miriam said, "Why did Moshe separate from his wife? There were nevi'im before Moshe, they didn't separate from their spouse. I didn't have to separate from my spouse." Miriam was married to Caleb. And all of a sudden, Hashem suddenly appears. Rashi says that they were they were in a very tight situation because they were not tahor. They were not tahor. They were crying out, "Mayim, mayim." Rashi says "Mayim, mayim." They needed a mikvah. They were tamei. What's What was Hashem getting at? Says the Chofetz Chaim, "Hashem was showing them that Moshe had to separate from his spouse cuz I could appear to him at any time. And he And he if I would appear to him suddenly, he wouldn't be in a state of tahara. He would have to be prepared. So, therefore, Moshe Rabbeinu had to separate from his spouse." By the way, I'll ask you just a completely side lamda shakasha, why did Aaron need a mikvah? Aaron wasn't a makbir on tefilas Ezra? Why didn't Why didn't Aaron go to the Why didn't Why didn't Aaron go to the mikvah before Shacharis? Okay, weiter. But, that's not irrelevant to this. Says the Chofetz Chaim, "Why is this in the Torah? I need to know that Hashem came to a navi suddenly? Why do I need to know that Hashem could come suddenly?" Says the Chofetz Chaim, it was written 3,300 years ago for June 3rd, 2026. Why? The Ganal Achshav is mine now.
