What’s said in this shiur
The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Dovid Rosman’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.
And I want to explain why it's so important and why it's so important specifically now during Ellen. So the Arizal says quoted in the priim in the shrashana in peral he finds a hint to the word el we're familiar with anil vidi and that brings out a different um a different hint. The Pik says Moshe Benzos after crossing the Yamsu sang a song that's the litmu leash and they said Ashira I'm going to sing. So the word Ashira starts off with an olive lev and lashem is a lamid. So lol backwards is vayomu I'm sorry vyomu lemore aira okay something to do with singing the song after we cross the yams the question is why is that a hint to uh to el heard uh from winefeld he explained because if you look at the puk over there the or asks the following question when the start off a mohe Isel as Moshe and B is they're singing already. They're singing as Moshe. They're singing the song. Then it says that they're going to sing and then it says I will sing. So it starts off plural they're singing and then it says ash in singular I am singing. What's going on? Is it everyone singing? One person singing, they were already singing and now they're singing. What's going on here? Says something fascinating. He says that when they went through the Yams, they saw these incredible miracles and they saw Hashem so clearly so spontaneously
