Welcome to Monday Torah, a weekly internet class with Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Jacobson, spiritual leader of Congregation Bais Shmuel in Crown Heights and a world renowned speaker and teacher.
The Monday evening class is aired weekly on TheYeshiva.net and on COLlive.com.
This week’s class explores that unbelievable teaching of our Sages that at the burning bush Moshe forfeited a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Hashem offered to reveal to Moshe the greatest revelation of all: The mystery of human suffering.
The greatest minds, and the greatest believers, have grappled with this throughout history to no avail, yet Moses unequivocally refused the once-in-a-universe chance.
Why?
The answer sheds light on the true meaning of leadership, and on the depth of Moses’ relationship with the Jewish people.
