It Was The Ultimate Experience At Mount Sinai - Experience It Today

Approximately 400 years ago, there was a big ro who was also somewhat of a scientist by the name of Rib Yehuda Ary Moda. And he was very into arguing with the missionaries, many Christians. He had many debates on a constant basis. His life was even at threat because he used to constantly succeed and win. And he was banned sometimes from country to country as a result of that. And he wrote many books about his debates and many ideas in hashkafa in concepts in Judaism. And one of the one of the foundational ideas that he wrote is that all miracles that are done are done in a very disproportional way. Meaning is done in a very extreme amount that no one can imitate it. But at least all miracles au is fathomable by by the mind. A person can fathom it. the first can understand it. It's able to be a person can relate to the idea when there's frogs and there tons of frogs. It's something unusual but we can figure it out. We can put the pictures in the kids books that we use in our peser. When there's blood over here and water over there, we can get it. I get it. You can figure go through all 10 plagues even the splitting of the sea. Like I've said before, just go to Universal Studios and we see the same thing obviously in a different plane or a different extreme. But alopanim it is something that is palatable to the to a person. We're able to figure it out in the human brain. It is cognitively understood. That is how he relates to and it's based on that basically is coming to say that it makes sense that all miracles should be understood because once you say that you can make miracles or describe miracles which make no sense. So then you have no boundaries anymore. So then you can make up any religion almost because then everyone could just say anything. You understand? You're leaving a place with no limitations and then the person will say okay so I'll do my own thing. I'll play my own games somewhat. And that's why we need to always have miracles in such a phenomenon. That's the of this that's called Yehuda Moda. There's a big problem a big query with this with this theory. And the problem is because our para parish and paritro and para mishpatim describe the phenomenon of mhamad hari at the time where we were on something incredible happened and I'll intro by saying that I'm always marveled by ventriloquists. I'm very impressed by ventriloquists how they manage to speak and hold conversations back and forth with their puppet and it's very difficult to be able to see. We all know the secret about how the guy's working. And there it is. He's going back and forth with him and not moving his lips and able to do that. But one thing that I'm always amused by, I'm always point out and always notice that you didn't notice it as much when you're a child cuz I was always into this ventriloquous type of thing is that they will never speak simultaneously. I always wondered when I was younger, why don't they argue and go, it doesn't happen like that. It's always one next, one next, one next. Why don't they ever argue at each other simultaneously? And the answer for those of us who are a little bit older or educated understand that the reason is because one person cannot speak twice. You can only speak one time in one time at a time. That doesn't work more than that. He speaks and then the puppet speaks which is him also. So in as much as you're going back and forth, it has to be not simultaneously. And in this week's para we have an tremendous phenomenon revelation that occurs by that was said by both of them were said simultaneously an incredible miracle in order for us to learn that the kdush also women are in kdush just like the and the rest of shabbat and other we learn from there. Now this causes a little bit of wrench in his theory in this in this big rough se and also the morning to certain extent because this is not only a miracle which is wow I can't imitate it and it's a lot of something but it boggles the mind it doesn't make any sense it makes kind of like smoke coming out of your ears when you're trying to figure out how that works you can't do that you can't speak two things at once like Rashi himself points out we have no of enough doing that and not only that they heard two things at once punch which is also a little bit difficult to understand or they heard both words meaning they didn't just at the same time they didn't just hear it like that they heard simultaneously and they said and they also heard separately they heard it separately but simultaneously can you figure that out well neither can I but that's exactly the point we have a miracle in this week's para which is unusual it's a miracle that you can't even put your brain around you can't even figure it. You can't even figure it out how it even started. That's the question. You understand? And that is a big query. But the answer really is sort of to speak that matra my hari is in a different rule book. We're in a different area like this doesn't get described by anywhere else. And hara something happened that will never ever happen again. All of Kai Israel received pro prophecy. We all saw prophetic vision. Even uh people who are on the lowest of levels, even people who are not deservant to be Naveim to be a prophet took going to a school, a university called Ben Naveim. They had to educate themselves till they turn their tassel. I don't know how many years it was. I assume it's more than getting a medical degree. And when they're finished after going up the ladder of going through all the ladders of the Mild Shim, then tada, you deserve to be a prophet. If you're lucky, you'll get it. If not, well, maybe you'll be Harry Potter. I'm not sure what you'll be able to get up to. We see that to get there requires effort. And they got it all as a freebie. It happened a one-time thing. Prophecy that will never happen again. This is a one-time phenomenon that we were able to see. Why did Hashem do this incredible phenomenon which is not replaceable, which will never be done again? Because Hashem wanted us to see with our own eyes. We shouldn't just assume Mosher Rabenu comes and reports to us what happened up in Shayim. Because then later in the generations, we might come along and deny it. We might play games. We might say, "Well, he was really just making up a story." We need it. It was a requirement for us all to hear it because otherwise it won't be different than any other religion because every single religion go through all of them. They all are based on one or two people. One Muhammad told them all the prophecies that he had and made it all up on the way. One guy known as Yeshu went ahead and said a bunch of things with about three or four or five Talmid five students are watching him do some things here and there. And that's it. And he was telling them his prophetic visions. There is no religion that has ever tried and will try to copy this statement, this testimony that we all were there by Harena and we heard it and we were we were able to see something phenomenal. It broke the rules. And therefore the miracles during Hari break the rules. They're not typical to the rule book of miracles. Like I said already on the one count to be able to hear two things at once. But don't you remember there's also another miracle that happened by Arseni. What's that? They were at they were able to see the voices. Now what does that mean? I don't know either. But they saw voices. Something happened over there. When you have a voice, usually it's auditory. Usually it goes through the coccia. It goes through the hammer. But how is it going through your cornea? It doesn't make any sense. But the answer is it was such a a clear vision. And it was so clear that they were above human nature. They went into such a prophetic phenomenon like like a highlevel nvi like a prophet that who he himself also can see voices. He also sees a vision which is something which is uncomprehensible which we ourselves as physical beings don't understand but it happens. And that happened to three million people all at once. And as a result of that, they were able to uh receive a direct transmission of the Torah to them to be able to receive the Torah. That is the tremendous miracle that is related here as related over by Nebul in one of and therefore this idea is here to teach us an incredible idea and that is when did all other miracles he wanted us to know that he's around and understand but there's one thing that has to be known by the person intimately about and as he writes over there he says all the that we were given the 613 They're important and they're the main things of all the Torah. But that's not the end all be all of the Torah. Just to do a mitzvah. It's to realize and when you're doing the mitzvah, relate, connect to it. Realize that you're doing something that is the make it real. Do something about it. When you want to get angry and you resist, think about not the fact that you're just resisting anger, but that is speaking to you. I just heard him speak to me. I just heard a nvu. I just heard a prophetic vision. When you go ahead and you're jealous of that guy who's got all those likes on the sh who's got all those people that are watching him and you're not managing to be able to get your status up and someone else is doing it even though the guy is nowhere close to you and the same phenomenon that's one of the you with you he's talking to you didn't give us a which is just a Torah of cognitively of text of reading of just doing that That's an important part because we can't know the rules without it. But it's one of le of leban of living of trying to be part of what's in front of you trying to be able to be and relate to it because that's what we got by hari. We didn't only get the mitzvah which was that I shouldn't say only but the mitzvah as a it's a physicality which was there to keep forever the sight that we saw. If we just saw a sight and left it there it would be inspiration that was forgotten. And I gave a shir not long ago on is the forgotten inspiration. We don't want to forget the inspiration. We want to live it. And you live it by every mitzvah that you do. You keep it part of you. I remember when I went one time I went away to a certain place and it was a beautiful area, tremendous sight. There we were taking pictures and there it is. And you come home and you start looking at the pictures, pictures of the Swiss Alps or the mountains or you start seeing these beautiful views and you're going, "Wow, these are pretty pictures." But you know what? When you're there, it's not the same as when you see it. There's something more to experiencing something than just pure education. There's something more to feeling it, to living it. Like I said, leban with the heart with a lot of hearts inside of it. When you feel it, when you see it, when you experience it, it's a totally different level and it elevates you to a different status than if it's just pure education, just reading. So, of course, we learn Torah and it's the most important part of everything. But through the Torah, it's supposed to be to be able to see it in real life in real life experiences. When we're going around and doing something, when you have a certain and you hold back from it, those are the signs, those are the things that end up sticking with you. Those are the ways that you're able to be to be when everyone is doing something and you refrain from going to that restaurant from eating there or you kind of hold back from going to a place which you know is not appropriate because of the sites that are around or the people that are not dressed appropriately you should know just spoke to you. You've been in touch with him. You should see that he just ripped open the seven. He is there in front of you. You are in front of mantra and it should be experienced not just understood. You should feel because the you have now with the connection is something real. It's something to do. When you have such an experience it lasts with you forever. It's something that never gets teetered out. It's something that you connect to. It's something that's so real by you like someone who L who has trauma from a certain thing whether it's good trauma or bad trauma. It could be something positive or association but it sticks with him every time of his life. Every time he sees that person's name, every time he goes into that house or that city which he has those experience for suddenly he connects them the amuna is real. He feels hashem in front of him like they say that he said he just like the table he was touching in front of me I feel this table in front of me. He said he sees in his eyes he got to a stage where he actually felt it. That's what the is of if we say brought us to he didn't give us the would have been enough huh without the would have been enough just to have a cure what's the point of getting to the answer is yes because if the hari would have been part of us if we would have made it part of our experience then maybe we would have made it just with that the harina itself We would be living with it would be part of our own life and that would be the transformative person that it should make
