The Door Moshe Closed: Nobody Can Be Moshe, Everyone Has to Listen to Him

About this episode

The episode discusses the unique role of Moshe in the transmission of Torah and the significance of his mitzvah.

Torah is a transmission from someone who went where no one else could go and came back to tell us not to. Moshe entered the source of all being and returned with a single mitzvah: stay outside. Everything else is commentary.
