VAERA - IT WILL NEVER WORK

from Deeper Look At The Parsha · host Rabbi Pini Dunner

Before going in for a second meeting with Pharaoh, Moses feared that his mission was doomed, and that whatever he said would never work. After all, he told God, if the Jewish people won't listen to me, how is it possible that Pharaoh will take me seriously? This, says, Rashi is one of ten examples of a "kal vachomer" in the Torah. In this fascinating shiur, Rabbi Dunner unpacks Moses' "kal vachomer" argument, and explains what Moses was saying to God, and why.
