okay so last week we talked about the ramban and the end of pasha's bowie ramban as we discussed describes what it is that a person should get out of the seder that's what we talked about and really to sum it up the ramban says that the to sum it up the ramban says that the great miracles that hashem brought in egypt were to show number one that he exists number two that he's not so transcendent that he can't be imminent as well he's both cottage cottage totally removed and at the same time omnipresent and not only that that he is a thing called is a thing called meaning that hashem cares so to speak what we do he wants a relationship with us and also those miracles were shown to show to us that he can do anything once he's omnipotent and the last thing the ramban says is that through pre-announcing these miracles to moshe this would once and for all uh prove demonstrate that hashem that hashem speaks to his naveem and confides with them and as the ramban says on this the whole torah rests because only the jewish people only heard the first two mitzvahs with hashem and the rest of the torah comes to us by moisha who is probably the most elevated holy stenographer in all of history because basically what moshe did was to copy down verbatim what hashem told him verbatim what hashem told him and of course seeing as we weren't there at the time it had to be demonstrated and validated that hashem does speak to people human beings and confides in them because on that says the ramban the entire torah rests and then at the end if you remember the ramban says that from these great public miracles by um imbuing the knowledge the memory
