Parashat Shemot - Stop! think...act.. - Rabbi Alon Anava

What’s said in this shiur

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

[music] We are in Parshat Shmot. Uh we're getting introduced to Moshe Rabbeinu. Baruch Hashem, our hero. Uh in this parasha not only that we get introduced to Moshe Rabbeinu has his meeting with the Kadosh Baruch Hu. And of course the meeting is done in the mountain. Moshe Rabbeinu goes out for a walk with the goats and he sees a burning bush. And he doesn't understand how the burn the the bush the fire is not burning the bush or it's not consuming it. Actually, it's interesting because the Torah is talking about the birth of Moshe Rabbeinu a little bit about his life and then he disappears for 62 years. And the Torah is not talking about where he was, what he did. Suddenly, you know, he's back into the picture when he's 80 years old. [clears throat] Nevertheless, we see in the parasha that Moshe Rabbeinu is minding his own business enjoying retirement. He's 80 years old, takes walks in the morning. And one day, whoop, he sees the snake in front of him. So we're in the normal melech we're learning. Uh there's a lot of mamarim in the the parasha of Shmot. Uh let's just count so you see where we are. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11. So in the 12th mamar in depending which version you have. Uh the mama starts with O Yomar Vayera Elav Mitoh Hasneh.
