Blood Money & Self-Worship - Today's Nile River & the Matrix of Egypt - Kabbalah in the Bible

What’s said in this shiur

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

how should we look at the way we study the Torah the Bible how do we look at these stories that we're reading that take us way way way back okay that's the question we want to address what's the problem problem is this take anything we want to try to connect with from the past you know talk about a generation gap what it's like it's hard to to connect with the generation how many just one generation forget about forget about many generations so how do we really connect with a story that's not generation gap with a story that's not generation gap but a millennia Gap we're talking about 3,000 plus years ago are the stories we're reading right now especially the whole the whole saer the whole the beginning of Genesis and now the story of The Exodus the Jews in Egypt this is all plus 3,000 years so so what does that to do with me how do I relate to such an old story seemingly maybe nothing you know and and and that's why many people take a look at Bible study you know imagine the kid in class I can just imagine that that that that the the just imagine that that that that the the example of a kid in class like with and in these days you got a lot of distractions everything else you can imagine is what he's focusing on other than the book that that the teacher is talking about hey put that phone away just kidding the first plague was turning the river the Nile River into blood okay so we have the subject of this miracle the object that was used was was the the river what is so important and special about this river
