Description

When God first summons Moshe to his great agency, He introduces Himself to his prophet as "the God of your father" - however, during the course of their testy interaction at Horev, it shifts to "the God of their (the Hebrews') fathers" and the direct association with Moshe is left behind. We explore why this sobriquet was the ideal - and why it was lost, only to be recovered at a later stage in Moshe's career. This shiur was given in honor of our daughter, Ariella and her חתן, Yoni Broth, on the occasion of their week of marital celebration - כן ירבו שמחות בישראל.
