Book of Shemot: The Exodus & The Immutability of Torah

What’s said in this shiur

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

uh obviously we're beginning the second homage and the second homage is mouth and the ramban points out that khomesh mouse has three basic themes with a lot of sub ideas the three big events in the most are you see us mithraim the story of the exodus and then we have the receiving of the torah at mount sinai and then we have the building of the mishkan those are the positive developments in the evolution of the developments in the evolution of the jewish nation there are some left turns we've been sidetracked the sin of the golden calf et cetera but in terms of the upward progression of israel there's the cs mitzrayim matan torah and these in turn represent stages that every single jew has to go through the word mitzrayim which means egypt also means limitations boundaries constrictions and in that sense every single person has their own mitzrayim the typhus that has their own mitzrayim the typhus that we struggle with our egotism our selfishness our anger and we need to leave that mitzrayim behind because if we allow that mitraim to control us we are enslaved enslavement doesn't have to be some outside person enslaving you the greatest type of slavery is the slavery that exists within and the first step to becoming a servant of god is leaving mitzrayim but being liberated from slavery is not enough
