Episode Synopsis
A Light Diet - The issue of Sinai was always עבודה בהר הזה and the שבועה לאברהם and therefore must be all about עבודה מאהבה and the terrors of love and loss, just as נדב ואביהו were a story of אהבה יתירה of הוסיפו אהבה על אהבה. The לא טוב לבדיך of יתרו and the לא טוב לבדו are thus intimately linked, and the solution for humanity is the primal nature of love that is embodied in sexual love, the only hope of the very מלאכי השרת who said מה אנוש = אנחנו מ"ה = תולה ארץ על בלימה who ultimately became the רפידים-נפילים who wanted more than anything the sexual love of בשגם הוא בשר and indeed saw that נשים could be had in any כלי בשר מכל אשר בחרו, which itself implied that they could have no primal connection. The play area between the אבן ספיר and the לוחות אבן on the one hand, and the שובו לכם לאהליכם on the other, is the ultimate answer to the מה אנו"ש כי תז"כרנו and includes all the whimsy of Moshe’s own answer: You are taking yourselves and Torah way too seriously, for to us it and the universe can exist only through play!
Play is the only way that he universe can exist as a quantum bubble, for it is essentialy a שעשוע which is the closest that לשון הקודש can come to “virtual” in that it is שע for שע itself, and this is אין לך דבר (אדם) שאין לו שעה. So too are all the forces that lead to what we experience as the forms taken by Being essentially the play engeged in by זכרות ונקבות (in the Zohar’s sense of יעקב איש וביתו where the same מלאך is a male on one level and the ביתו for the level above. The משחק עם לויתן is whimsical and therefore would be inappropriate if it were female…
Defining the nature of Yisrael identity, above and beyond the human identity defined in Besalach, just as all גירות is a search for new identity. This is the centrality of יתר"ו to סיני as רו"ת was central to Shavuot, both adding 606 to the שבע מצוות. The ongoing theme of כבדות and inertia, here transformed into a wave form, is a reflection of the חשמל and חיות רצוא ושב, for we too wanted דגלים.
(MY) We see the פרשה on two levels and add this year above and beyond the nature of transition spoken about and the way that we have here not just portable civilization but מהלכים בין העומדים in the presence on earth בין אומות העולם, the traversing of מדבר העמים which is history here defined in the first moments of coming into being as a traveling nation as מהלכים
This year we go into the way in which the פרשה addresses the underlying issues of הר סיני that lead to making the transition so problematic – so what was on הר סיני existential elements that were intellectual and were addressed by the story of the מחיצות and understanding of the nature of עבודה in ourselves as given in ויקרא and בהר בחוקותי . This פרשה has the issues more primal simple and immediate underlying הר סיני which made it possible for this transition to collapse into the rejection of מן into מתאוננים into the next פרשה of שלח and משכן meant to take the place of הר סיני here – therefore we concentrate here on the very same issues of גרות in new way vs. original גרות – the deaths here of those who were ויחזו את האלקי"ם ויאכלו וישתו but here it is in the 70 זקנים instead of נדב ואביהו – we concentrate on שובו לכם לאהלכם in one way with משה רבינו there in which everyone "wants that distance" and here in a sensual way
Most importantly deal with the "threat" of הר סיני which was initially the threat expressed in תורה מצוות and presence of הקב"ה "impositions exteriorized" here in the simple diet of מן in which the אשה אשר נתת becomes the מן אשר נתת – the תורה, מצוות as אשה or the nature of Life as a whole being my context being my diet and אשר נתת עמדי that cannot tolerate it making sense because logistical sense chemical sense and scientific – it must be experiential sense the most horrific of situations where the most amazing things can collapse for the want of a watermelon – this is what happens in פרשה and therefore the תינוק childishness of things whether תינוק הבורח מבית הספר whether Jewish culture that focuses on pizza parlors French restaurants kitchen you have always dreamt of are the opposite of תורה and therefore this is the one thing משה רבינו "can't take" "just kill me" to have תורה reduced to book carried along to French restaurant the opposite of what it is meant to provide – the literal polarities of 2 בדים משה ואהרון נצח והוד life as completely different diet the essence!
