#parsha #Moshe is standing at the #BurningBush, #God exhorts him to remove his shoes because it is holy ground. I always wondered about this idea, what is the relationship between being barefoot and holiness? Then it occurred to me that by taking off his sandals in the middle of the desert his feet would be exposed to the hot sand, rocks, and thorns etc. That's the idea, holiness is feeling the pain and suffering of others around you. This is what God wanted him to understand. #mazeldon #torah
