All Together Now - Rabbi Mayer Simcha Stromer

was telling motion iron to go before paro in this week's parasha to tell power to let the jewish people go and nakadosporaku prepares moshe and he says paro is going to ask for a mofis he's going to ask for some sort of wonder show me a sign prove to me show me something amazing who is this god you tell me about so aron picks up the staff of moshe urbanu just like a kodashwaraku instructs him and he throws it in front of power when it turns into a snake and pyro and all his cartoon they all start laughing anybody can do this term all throw their sticks down and they all turn into snakes but what are the next words in the torah of la that the stick of our own swallowed up their sticks this fast is a beautiful deck benefits one showed this to me many many years ago this fast says that it wasn't the snake of aaron and moshe that swallowed up the other snakes but rather it was the stick of motion our own that swallowed up the sticks of the khartoum mitzrayim says this fassem is a beautiful idea so often in life the beginning of our journeys we seem lifeless no no attraction to roughness we're lifeless sticks and then all of a sudden something happens some experience it could be yeshiva it could be seminary it could be a shiri once heard it could be it comes it could be a conversation with a rebbe some sort of role model something happens to us and all of a sudden we're hooked we want us we want rukhni as we want to connect to a kaddish baraku but then something happens for whatever reason we lose steam we revert back to our own ways maybe we end up in the same places with the same friends whatever the case may be and we lose that we lose that inspiration and that the desire for rochester says this fascinates we have to remember even if we turn back into sticks so to speak we think we don't have that his anymore we're lifeless sticks we have to remember we're a snake we have to remember we have the his we have achilles inside of us no matter what's going on no matter where we are we always have that his inside of us we have to connect to that we have to cultivate even when it doesn't seem like there's a whole lot of peace inside recognize that it's always there do whatever we can to connect to it and through that we'll be able to connect to academic [Music]
