NAALEH.COM and YU TORAH Parshat Shemot 5772: Holy Ground By Mrs. Shira Smiles

In this Torah shiur (class) on Parshat Shemot, Mrs. Shira Smiles examines Hashem's command to Moshe not to come closer to the burning bush, and to remove his shoes, because the ground he is on is holy. Mrs. Smiles discusses the Ramban's question of why the ground Moshe was on was holy, if the shechina was resting only on the burning bush? Mrs. Smiles goes on to explore what the taking off the shoes is about, what the idea of holy ground is about, and what the message is for our own lives. This Torah class is available online in streaming video and for download in mp3 and ipod video formats. Summary by Channie Koplowitz Stein provided by YU TORAH
