After the plague of
darkness, Moshe says to Pharaoh; “...we cannot know how to serve G-d until we
come there (to the dessert)”[1].
The Kotzker takes this
verse out of its historical context and explains it existentially; “You can never know how to serve G-d until you have been there”.[2]
No matter what you have
been taught or how much you know, serving G-d cannot be learned, taught, described
or legislated - it has to be authentically experienced by the unemcompassed individual.
