Who's in Charge - Rabbi Ephy Greene

spoiler alert what does that phrase mean it means nobody wants to get their story spoiled and hear the end of the story before it comes out uh in the book that you're reading or the movie that you're watching or things like that spoilers seem to ruin the story but we seem to have done this to ourselves in the story of you see us Miss Ryan the story of The Exodus really is a story with a much greater message than what people think it's about because when Moshe comes to pyro and he says let my people go he's not actually saying hey slavery is wrong Cairo you shouldn't enslave these people what about human rights get them free let them go out to their Homeland and live as free people that's not actually what's going on over here Moshe does come to Fire and say Let My People Go for three days to bring carbonos and serve Hashem the implication being that then afterwards they'll come back and be slaves to pyro again well what does that do how does that help the Jewish people the point is is that it's not about human rights it was not about slavery and emancipation it was not a uh you know a piece out of uh Civil War history or anything like that this was about who's in charge who runs the world pyro was the king of the greatest world power of the time everybody recognized his authority everybody recognized his power he made himself out to be a God he made himself out to be a superhuman and yet Moshe comes and says no no we need you to relinquish your Authority so we can go and dive in Hashem because he is the one who truly runs the world that power did not want to hear and that power says who is this guy that I should listen to him I'm not going to let them go you just want to get out of the slavery stop serving me and Pyro we know what happens he says no the Macos come eventually power is going to acquiesce and let them go and then he realizes oh they're not coming back so he tries to go get them and retain his his authority but it's too late because it is very very clear as we see from the story in the era and Bo the way that it delivers the Macos onto the Midstream runs the world who is in charge has all of nature subject to his will and that is the lesson of it's Ryan it is not about human rights per se but it is about that there is one true authority of over the world and that is wishing everyone a wonderful service
