    I'm also curious why the donation of the kumaz Jewelry didn't raise any ire as the mirrors did.

      Because it was melted down. Unlike the mirrors.

    רבי יקר

    בשל שיעוריך איני ישן בלילות.

    אני צמוד ליוטיוב ועוקב אחר השיעורים.

    קבל רעיון:משה רבנו מסרב לקבל השליחות.מדוע?שואל אותו הקבה "מה זה בידך? ממה אתה מחזיק?? מדוע אתה מסרב לקבל שליחותי?עונה לא משה רבנו:אני מחזיק במטה!! אתה רבשע שולח אותי ללובינג לשתדלנות.אני רוצה הופעת ה באספקלריה המאירה.מטה!!!תן להם בשיניים!! תופיע לפני כולם."הופע בהדר גאון עוזך על כל יושבי תבל ארצך.באופן גלוי-לא בעקיפין לא באמצעות "מירור"לא באמצעות מראה אלא בכח גדול ביד חזקה.

    עונה לו הקבה :אתה יודע את ה .אינך מאמין-אתה ממש יודע!! אולם בני ישראל הם מאמינים.גאולתם של ישראל היא בדרך הנחש!! הנחש מתפתל.לעיתים נדמה שהוא זז הצידה אבל הוא זוחל קדימה!! כך היא גאולתם של ישראל.בדרך העקלתון "זיג זג"

    זרוק את המטה!!!בבואך אל העם הזה השלך אותו!!שכח מהמטה!! אתה חייב להוביל עם שמביט במראה ולא דרך החלון השקוף!!!

    אכן משה רבנו זרק את המטה-אולם בטרגדיה של הסלע והמים הוא שב לשיטת המטה...

    אומר לו הקבה:"יען לא האמנתם בי"אתם יודעי ה." אתם שכחתם שאתם מובילים עם של מאמינים ולא עם של יודעים.זה לא יכול להמשך.בארץ ישראל ההנהגה היא גשמית."ריל אסטיט"עם של מאמינים של נאבקים.של מתלבטים -חייב להיות מונהג על ידי מנהיג מאמין-לא מנהיג שרואה הכל דרך חלון שקוף. 

    כעין זה שמעתי ממור הרב יעקב אריאל רבה של רמת גן תובבא.

    Just finished listening... I don't understand how it can be that the same Moshe who is here portrayed as not fully appreciating the value of "Or Chozer" hence he didn't want to accept the mirrors, is the same Moshe who breaks the luchos for that very reason just a short while before!

    RESPONSE TO YITZCHOK
    B''H

    HAVE YOU NOTICED HOW MANY TIMES YOU HAVE REPEATED THE WORD HATE?
    CHANGING YOUR CHOICE OF WORDS WOULD EFFECT THE MINDSET AND THE ATTITUDE.
    HOW ABOUT AGREEING TO DISAGREE?
    WE ALL ARE G-DS' CHILDREN.

    IF G-D CREATED SECULARS, IF HE ALLOWED ZIONIZM TO FORM AND CREATE THE STATE OF ISRAEL,IF BY HIS MIRACLES WE ARE HERE DESPITE OF THE NEIGHBOURHOOD WE ARE IN, IF HE KEEPS SUSTAINING US DESPITE ALL ODDS - WHO ARE YOU TO KNOW BETTER: ,CRITICIZE ,JUDGE,AND DECIDE WHO IS A GOOD JEW, A WORTHY ONE.
    EVERYTHING IS UמDER HIS PROVIDENCE - HASHGACHA:ORTODOX AND SECULAR ALIKE.WE ALL WERE CREATED BY HIM KIRETZONO AND NOT KIRETZONCHA...
    THE ARAB TERROR AND THE IRANIAN NUCLEAR THREAT,ARE ALL FROM HASHEM TO WAKE US UP -
    FOR SECULARS TO STOP RIDICULING THE ORTODOX,AND FOR THE ORTODOX TO STOP LOOKING DOWN ON THE SECULARS.
    IN THE NAME OF G-D YOU WANT TO ''FIGHT'' AGAINST YOUR BROTHERS,YOUR FATHERS' OTHER SONS...?
    G-D WAS PROTECTIVE EVEN OF THE DRAWNING EGYPTIANS ''MA'ASEH YADAI TOV'IM BAYAM VEATEM OMRIM SHIRA''?
    MY CREATIONS ARE DRAWNING AND YOU ARE HAPPY?SINGING?
    LET ALONE WHEN IT IS ABOUT JEWS!
    YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO''LEHA'IR PANIM'' ,TRY NICELY TO BRING EVERY JEW CLOSER TO G-D.

    YOU ARE DEMANDED TO ''VEAHAVTA LE'REACHA CAMOCHA'' !

    BEFORE ''BEIN ADAM LAMAKOM'' THERE IS ''BEIN ADAM LACHAVEIRO''...
    THIS IS AVODAT HASHEM !!!
    ***
    ISRAEL HAS NO RIGHT TO THE LAND?
    '' HALANU ATAH IM LETZAREINU''?ARE YOU SIDING WITH US OR WITH OUR ENEMIES? YOU ARE FUELING THEIR INSANITY

    IT IS MUCH EASIER TO TEAR US APART FROM OUTSIDE,IF WE ARE NOT ''AM ECHAD BELEV RCHAD''.
    HISTORY SHOWED US THE COSEQUENCES OF ''SIN'AT CHINAM''...

    EACH JEW IS A JEW.
    DON'T TAKE AWAY G-DS' JOB.LET HIM MANAGE US, AND YOU DO WHAT YOU WERE CREATED TO DO.
    HE SEES AND KNOWS EVERYTHING.NOTHING HAPPENS THAT ISN'T HIS WILL.
    WHEN YOU WILL BE HIM,YOU'LL HAVE THINGS HAPPEN AND DONE YOUR WAY...FOR NOW YOU ARE EVED HASHEM,SO BE HUMBLE.
    YOU DON'T HAVE A MONOPOLI ON G-D NOR ON THE TORAH AS FAR AS SECULAR JEWS ARE CONCERNED.
    CULTIVATE LOVE AND NOT ENAMOSITY.IF YOU FEEL SUPERIOR
    YOU DEFINITLY MISINTERPRET G-DS' WILL AND INSTRUCTIONS.
    DON'T ACT ONLY FROM YOUR VITAL ANIMAL SOUL. THERE IS ROOM FOR LOT OF REFINMENT TO BE DONE.

    NO BOMB WILL DISTINGUISH BETWEEN SECULAR AND ORTODOX...

    ''EIN OD MILVADO'' - G-D IS EVERYTHING AND EVERYTHING IS UNDER HIS COMMAND.NOT A THING TAKES PLACE WITHOUT HIS PROVIDENCE

    CARMELA, ISRAEL
