Moses in the Parsha - Part 2 - Rabbi Dr. David Gottlieb

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.

this is the dialogue discussion debate between God and Moses at the burning bush where God wants to send him to play his role in liberating the Jews and Moses has objections and he raises quite wide variety objections I hope the next the last objection which is verse 10 the middle of the page mozahem please my lord I'm not a man of words not since yesterday Dawson's the day before yesterday nor since you first spoke to your servant for I'm heavy mouth and heavy of speech Moses was a stutterer it could not speak straight before this Moses raising what one could think of as matters of principle I can't speak to an emperor and the Jewish people aren't worthy of it and they won't believe me they won't follow me now he's protesting a personal disability not a good speaker by the way of her she says that's precisely why he was chosen let no one say that his persuasive rhetoric and his charisma were what encouraged the Jews to to follow him we have to imagine the thing he comes to speak his brother is there and Moses stutters this out to his brother and his brother speaks it for him that's not going to make a good impression have you talking about wowing people with a psychological appeal but I ain't going to do it and that's why
