Quotable Quotes ( click the line
to hear the quote! )
01:01 If one experiences friendship
with someone else , he should not analyze it (the friendship )
10:12 we have to study humesh
like we study gemora conceptualize, analyze…
11:15 the torah never tells
half a story , they is always development…
17:06 we suddenly are confronted
with a parasha consisting of two pasukim … inverted nun…
21:49 whatever I tell you…
is completely new… no one plagiarized me yet
22:15 as if we were jumping
like a bee… accumulating the sweet nectar
25:57 Torah teaches man how
to worship God… there is no neutral moment…
36:30 Kiddush Levim ( why
it is in Bamidbar and not Shemos )
42:00 torah … one must understand
the emotional mood created by the torah
48:33 any human was offered…
to join the march to the Messianic era -Moses would have been the Melech
HaMosiah (Messiah)
50:20 our torah has enough
goodness to be shared by others…
50:58 there is something touching
… I want to cry …the great Moshe -father of all prophets.. uses the first
person… he was certain he would enter the promised land….
59:51 Moshe is not the defense
attorney , it has interrupted the great march …
01:02:00 There is a difference
between avodah zora (idol worship ) and the pagan way of life… It is possible
to live like a pagan and not worship idols. Paganism is a certain way of
life…. What is the pagan way of life? The pagan way cries for variety ,
for boundlessness, for unlimited desire… Judaism requires the ability to
retreat.
01:09:09 I remember my own
experience during the illness of the wife…I lived with hope… but I remember
the last Yom Kippur before she died…the sefer torah slipped and fell …
that time I knew … nothing would help…

yesiat mitsraiyim is not political freedom … but to make a goy kodesh (holy

01:17:11 the mother is the
most important teacher in the life of the baby… the nursing mother carries
the baby… it means more then the literal meaning…when the mother teaches
the baby , the baby becomes a part of her. The mother’s purpose is to protect
the baby. The mother does not belong to herself… the mother has no life
of her own. She belongs to the infant…
01:19:26 Moshe discovered
that teaching is not enough for a Jewish leader … the job is nursing… feeling
pain when the baby cries … feeling joy with the baby…
01:23:36 Why is Moshe’s
name referred to as Menahse and not Moshe ? because Moshe had no children.
01:28:11 We should not only be teachers … but nursing mothers too…
01:28:26 the covenantal
community is a teaching community…it is a children’s community with the
mother-teacher in the center…he did not say to expel the misavim ( the
lusters ) …we must carry the burden …
01:32:33 three qualifications
for the nursing mother, a strong total commitment, readiness to give up
.. to sacrifice…. The ability to present our message to our opponents with
dignity and pride.
01:34:20 Daas means common
sense.
01:34:50 the purpose of
the RCA (Rabbinical Council of America ) to help the individual rabbi…

with a common past… that bears witness to certain truth…Mahaneh is associated
with defense and struggle…
