Description

The Sfas Emes beautiful teaching on what the true flaw of the eved ivri is and why he is punished in is ear - he is preventing himself from hearing more of the ratzon Hashem. The Maor Vashemesh explains that Moshe had to reteach all of bereishis and the sheva mitzvos so they could be reincorporated as a means of relating to Hashem and then Klal Yisrael said we want more!! 2 teachings from the Avodas Yisrael- being a shomer Torah is being one who yearns for mitzvos to connect to Hashem. Also that Avraham Avinu didn't do the bris milah before he was commanded (even thoough he surely was able to inuit it) becasue he wanted to hear it from Hashem and feel the chibur of the tzivui. Chasam Sofer - Yaakov kept the taryag mitzvos because he so badly yearned for them.
