What Made Moses the Greatest Prophet Ever & The Revolutionary Lesson Mount Sinai Taught Moses

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.

If we could try to imagine the self perception that a Torah sage has. So the question is this Moshe Rabenu to start with and all of the sages that follow in his footsteps all of the Torah teachers in this world uh for example and I'm not a private kind of person so I'll speak about me especially if I just spoke about Mosh Rabena and all the great sages I I would love to include myself in that discussion. I know that I don't know that much right I know that. So, how in the world do I have the audacity and the courage to sit down here and talk to you about Hashem's Torah? Whom? We're going to look at the first mission of Perky. Okay. The Mishna begins like this. Moshe kel Torah mai. Moshe received a Torah which is again all the laws and wisdom of Hashem from Sai. Sai is one of the names of of the mountain where God revealed himself and gave a Torah on and gave it over to the Jewish people. That's essentially what we're saying. And again, this is the way of learning Torah. We should be bothered or we should have questions. And what are they? Anyone have a question about this? What's what's missing from this opening statement of Peravot? Yeah. Where did he go? He's hiding. Hashem hides. But why is Hashem's name missing from this opening statement? So Bartonor asks the same question and he comes to fix it. He says what the Mishna really means is that that that Moshe received a Torah from God that revealed himself on Mount Si. That's the simplest
