1:18A nice way, a pleasant way, telling people nice stories, trying to revive your heart by giving you encouragement. The reality of it is that if the strategy were working, then 80% of Am Yisrael would actually be keeping Shabbat, instead of only 20%. So we see that the strategy is not working. Not because there's anything wrong with the rabbis themselves. Chas v'shalom, there's nothing wrong with them. But there's something wrong with the strategy itself. And the strategy is being politically correct. And as I'm sure all of you have heard from Rabbi Yosef Mizrachi, who gives lectures here regularly, political correctness is the poison of our generation. It's the disease we have, but we don't even know we do. The most important thing that we need to learn is that Hashem is not politically correct. As we see in Parashat Yitro, Am Yisrael gets very scared of hearing Hashem's voice. They die. They're brought back to life. They die again. They're brought back to life. Each time they hear the first commandment, they die. The second commandment, they die. They get very, very scared of Hashem Yitbarach. And Moshe tells them, "Hashem is scaring you so you don't sin. It's actually written in the Torah. He's scaring you so you don't sin. Which means that Hashem likes this strategy. So let's use it." This teaches us that sometimes, fear can be a motivator to help us avoid sin and live by the commandments.
2:40Hashem is scaring you so you don't sin. It's actually written in the Torah that Hashem uses such methods for our benefit. He's scaring you so you don't sin, which means that Hashem sees value in this strategy. So let's consider its effectiveness and learn from it.
