Pesach - Arrogance: Confronting the Essence of Pharaoh Nitzotzos: Thoughts to keep your spark alive

    • Judaism

In this shiur, delivered to the Nshei of Neve Shamir, Rav Burg explains the Zohar HaKadosh which speaks about Moshe Rabbeinu confronting the inner essence of Pharaoh, namely arrogance. Arrogance is built on the impoverished mentality that we are not enough and allows us to do despicable things to uphold this false notion of self. On a deeper level, even our arrogance comes from the Divine but it is a misappropriation. Once we realize that everything comes from Hashem, even our arrogance, redemption occurs.
