Potential

0:00The Torah introduces us to Moshe an Aaron that they're going to be the leaders of the Jewish people to bring about the Exodus. So the Torah mentions who Aaron, who Moshe, this is Aaron, and Moshe that are going to be the Redeemer said then right afterwards it says who Moshe an Aaron. This is Moshe an Aaron. Sometimes it puts Moshe first, sometimes it puts Aaron first. And the question is why does it switch back and forth? Right? Of course we know Aaron is older, so why is it sometimes Moshe or normally it's Moshe first. So Rashi says, the medre says, because the Torah switches it back to say that they are equal. Shuckle. They're equal. Moshe and Aaron, they're the same. And the question is that that's very nice. It's very pretty. It sounds good. You know, when you give trophies to everybody, but the bottom line is that Moshe was far greater than Aaron. That's the bottom line. Moshe was the greatest prophet that ever lived. He was the first that communicated to Paul.

1:01He spoke directly to God. Aaron was not Moshe. So what does it mean they were equal? Moshe fine scene says so beautifully. He says that the Torah is telling us and teaching all of us that one has to understand greatness before God is maximizing our potential. Each and every one of us are gifted by God with a mission and charge with a mission, but we uniquely could accomplish. If we do what we need to do, if we maximize our potential, we are equal Shuckle Kimoshin. In fact, the Rambam himself, Mamanity says that everybody could be at Sadiq like Moshe Raveinu. The question is, what do you mean everybody could be like Moshe Raveinu is only one Mosis. In history, there'll only be one Mosis. But the Rambam adds an interesting word. He says that Sadiq, a righteous person like Mosis, all of us could maximize our potential. All of us could push ourselves to what and in God's ought to what we could be. And in God's eyes, that's a Moshe. And therefore, that's what all of us are challenged. We have our list that what we're going to tell God after 120, all of our excuses.

2:06And that's God is going to accept all of excuses. Why we're not Moshe and why we're not Aaron. The only excuse that we're going to have that is going to be a problem for us is why weren't we ourselves. So let's be the best version of ourselves we could be.
