Emet Inspire - Rabbi Mordechai Kraft - The Lesson from The Snake

What’s said in this shiur

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

Welcome back to this week's subs inspired and we hope everybody had a wonderful gracious opens up with an introduction to an interesting creature called the nakash the snake but we understand that this snake is not like any other animal it's actually the satan it's the places in this body in this creature which we call the snake and as an angel as the satan His job is to test to test Adam and Eve test them to eat from this tree the itas to. And of course we know that that he succeeds in convincing Eve to eat and eat. Then Eve then hands Adam the fruit as well. At the end of the story we understand that the snake seems to be punished for his actions. But the question is how can you punish the snake? If the snake is an angel there's no free choice. You can't punish an angel for really doing the will of God. I'd like to offer a suggestion that a hers gives to try to answer this. this seemingly problem of how can you punish the snake? It's an angel. Angels don't have free choice. They're doing exactly what they're supposed to be doing.
