The
Torah says that G-d became angry at Moshe when he appeared to be reluctant to act
as the spokesperson for the Jewish people.
The English translation reads; “The
wrath of Hashem burned against Moses...”[1]
The
Kotzker has a different understanding of this issue of G-d’s ‘anger’.
He says;
“...The same fire that burned in G-d,
burned in Moshe...”[2] Here the expression ‘wrath’ is understood to indicate a sense of fire and inspiration, rather than simply rage
and fury.
The
best way to influence another is through inspiration not trepidation.
