Parshas Mishpatim: Na'aseh V'Nishma - Wanting to be Forced

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.

um says they stood at the foot of the mountain the laminate we learn from here and Hashem suspended the mountain over their head like a barrel the um and he said to them if you accept the Torah everything is wonderful and love otherwise this will be your burial spot in other words Hashem forced it upon us we were coerced we had no choice Hashem said either take it or die and the famous question raised by tosus on the spot raised by the minister raised by the that's the kingdom is that why did Hashem have to force us to accept the Torah we're going to accept it willingly with Ishmael Hashem after you know stuff down our throats some offered it to us and we said not submission we're very happy to accept the Torah so that's the famous contradiction why did Hashem have to force us if we were going to accept it willingly the many very famous answers have Tyson's answer you have the matters answer was willing was coerced but I want to offer a new suggestion why was it necessary for Hashem to force us to accept the Torah if we're going to accept it willingly okay and I'll share with you uh personal insights and I think this really uh will answer the question so when I started out in our show not as a rabbi there so we didn't
