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.

to me where the Jewish people are the Jewish people slaves they are my slaves says let us think for a moment why is the possum repetitive we just said that you know we got the point why repeat it well you could ask the following question the question is that you cannot purchase a slave against as well you can't just buy a slave a slave becomes a slave with their consent yeah you can be kind and added so how did Hashem make us his slaves after all it was kafalam harkage got suspended the mountain overhead like a barrel but uh the avdos is not Khaled the address is not how because it was imposed on us so how does it work well says that if you just buy a guy off the marketplace fine you can't buy him against his will but if you buy an avid from a previous owner so now you're not making him an effort against his will he already was an avid you're merely transferring the ownership so this is the meaning of the pastic to me are the Jewish people slaves why are they slaves they are my slaves because I took them out from a previous owner we were slaves to paroi once we were slaves for parai God can impose slavery upon us because we already worthless had God I mean there's a big question why did we have to go down to mitzrayim why couldn't Hashem just so to speak one day take a mountain and suspend it over our heads and say hey guys I have a great idea either keep the Tyra or you get a free burial spot it's much cheaper this way why can Hashem just do that the answer is in the Abdula
