Episode Synopsis

- The nature of רבינו בחיי's introduction, the מרפא לשון which becomes the power of both Avraham and Moshe is the equivalent of לבעבור נסות אתכם בא האלוקים—in which the mental illness that exists without קבלת התורה. The only way to heal it is the experience of הר סיני. This becomes the לנסות אתכם which leads to two reactions: one is people running away form the דברי חיים because of what it will cost the,--this leading to death of the recipients, the כפה עליהם הר כגיגית, etc. The other reaction is that of נדב ואביהו, which is trying to take the experience and include it in our own sensuality. Both are problems of the עגל—the unwillingness the accept that חיים which creates ע"ז,Rape in the opposite way. One is a rape of כלל ישראל, and the other is the rape of הקב"ה so to speak.
