Rabbi Mordechai Kraft The Three Words HaShem Will Never Say

the world of real estate there's an expression location location location where something is located is really the source of its value that which is near it also has great value you know when we look at the Torah perhaps we can apply this concept Shem wants to communicate his infinite mind to humanity and needs to do it in the document that that we can manage so where should places things often times has enormous importance you know if we were to look for the real estate or the prime real estate then of course everything is important one might look to the Asser The Ten Commandments the first statements that hasem utters in giving over his vision for what the world should look like so to speak the keys to unlock the entire turret so the assert of Debro The Ten Commandments is that Prime real estate it's fascinating to know for what lies right next to it interestingly there's a dialogue just before the giving of the Ten Commandments which at first glance causes one to wonder what's its purpose the dialogue goes something as follows that MOS was called up to the mountain and Hashem seems to want to give him some last directives before he reveals himself and gives the Torah and then hasem says to go and warn the people enough of men I'm concerned they might want to rush up the mountain too fast Mo go down make sure they created proper boundaries proper proper uh limitations on the mountain they're preparing properly and Moshe says back to hasem he says to no already warned us in this it's okay hm it's already taken care of we don't need to do that again and then hasem says back that we love hem go down the mountain I want you to bring you and AR will be a special place when I reveal myself when I give the Torah and to that mosha agrees it's new information he goes down the mountain and he tells Aon and then it says that after mosha gives us information immediately AEM then begins Lord your God so what's happening in this dialogue so the matter explains to us and says that what's happening is that Hashem needs for mosha to go down the mountain why because Hashem is concerned that when he'll say those words I am the Lord your God and mosha up on the mountain maybe the nation will make a mistake who's speaking is it Moses speaking or is item speaking I am the Lord your God who is it so s is strange but Hashem wants the Revelation National Revelation to be perfect no one can be up here with me when I say those words mosha I need for you to be down down there when I say this so he gives mosha an assignment mosha go down and tell the people to start preparing themselves warn them and mosha says hem they already did that so hasem said oh there something well why don't you go down and and you and Iron Will Stand in a certain spot and mosha seems to accept that as new information and he goes down the mountain so the Met says Hashem is trying to get B down the mountain but the question is well if you need for mosha to go down the mountain just say it directly mosha it's natural Revelation now world history depends on this the purpose of creation is that the entire human that Humanity should have relationship with me and I want no want to make a mistake that I exist and I'm real there's going to be a one-time Revelation for the world to see me 5 million Witnesses are going to see me now and that memory is going to be transferred from generation to generation and it's so important because that's going to be the the the basis of our amuna and our trust in Hashem because our grandparents saw him we saw him mosha this is it right now the world is waiting for this mosha would you please go down the mountain yet Hashem won't say go down the mountain hasem hints it mosha doesn't get the hint hasem offers another suggestion that mosha understands but question is why won't AEM say it directly so the med answers Maru commentator on the med says because Hashem was concerned about something if I say mosha go down in essence hasem is saying mosha you don't belong here and when you tell someone they don't belong that causes pain the essence of a human being's greatest need is to feel I do belong I'm important I matter I'm a value and therefore Hashem will not say the words mosha you do not belong here the says let his face fall Les he feel shame embarrassment do he feel that he's not someone of such great importance and therefore it must be that in the Divine vocabulary the words you don't belong do not exist and therefore was it sh need to do has needs to Hint it because a hint is different a hint is a gentle way of communicating something and that a person could accept so hasem hints it but mosha doesn't get the hint so hasem offers another suggestion that mosha understands but if we think about it just a little deeper surely Hashem could say to mosha mosha listen you know that I love you you know that I care about you but I need for you to be at the bottom of the mountain right now because what I'm going to do right now is what the world has been waiting for this is the most important moment since the creation of the the world my Revelation mosha it has to be perfect please go down and surely mosha would have understood that mosha the hon the humblest man in human history Torah testifies about him there's no ego only desire to do the will of hasem yet hasem will not utter the words mosha you don't belong here why because words that hurt words that are painful words words that take away the essence of a human being's greatness do not exist in the Divine vocabulary and therefore hasem has to try to Hint it and mosha doesn't get the hint right away so hasem has to try to find another way to bring him down this is the real estate just before the giving of the Ten Commandments a dialogue between mosha B on asem which at first glance seems to be so odd what's AEM doing hinting back and forth what's it doing there just before the giving of the Ten Commandments the most important moment in human history the national Revelation yet it must be that this dialogue is Prime real estate why because it's so significant it's so important maybe it's so important why because it's teaching what the purpose of Torah is all about the purpose of tah is so that we should be able to understand who we are that we created an image of God to look at another human being and see that person is created the image of hasem as well to see that Salim is what it's all about and to realize who we are and what another is and hasem is communicating that through this dialogue by not uttering the words you don't belong Hashem is saying that's the way you have to see a human being every human being is of such value he is of such value she is of such value and of course you are of such value and when you know that value about yourself you're going to live up to the task and strive for greatness and strive to be that human being that wants you to be so this dialogue is anything but unnecessary it's super necessary it's perhaps what the whole purpose of to is all about and for that reason it occupies such important real estate May Hashem bless us all that we should understand that just like Hashem will never utter those words even don't belong we have to be so careful not to say those words either often times in our lives people enter conversations with us maybe aren't supposed to be there at that time how do we gently ask them to leave without saying the words you don't belong if it doesn't exists in the Divine vocabulary it can't exist in our vocabulary as well this real estate indicates it this is the purpose of T sh should bless us to realize that and appreciate that and to create ourselves through this understanding to be that human being that he knows that we can be wishing everybody a shabbat [Music] shalom
