nach dem is paid at base as I say a couple of shas a nice sugya When is it going to end the mission? Yeah, I'm not What's the gift? It's chazan You get a moment of chazan yet at home. What's bitter is not chos v'sholom kili amitzus tachlis amitzus. I can have highest of the amitzus. I can have highest of the amitzus. This my middle kuta teida is on a story in parshas Chukas which like many stories at first glance seem very difficult to understand. Let's remember the story. It's a story about the snakes, the serpents. The Torah says that the Jewish people speak against Hashem, they speak against Moshe. Why did you take us out of Mitzrayim to die in the desert? We have no bread, we have no water. Our souls are disgusted with this horrible bread that you're giving us. Fiery venomous serpents attack the Jewish people and bite them. The Jewish people come to Mosha. Mosha prays for the people. Hashem tells Mosha, I say l'ch saraf. I say l'ch saraf. V'sim oisoi al neis. Make for yourself, sculpture for yourself, a snake. Sculpture out a snake and place it on neis. Neis is a pole. A pole and put it on top of the pole. V'haya kol anasha, whoever is bitten by the snake, v'reo oisoi, will look up at the sculptured snake that you made, you crafted on the pole, and he will live. So, the pasuk says, and this is the beginning of the maimer, V'yas Mosha nachash n'choshes.
