Devarim - Your Voice Is Waiting To Be Heard

When Hashem first called Moshe Rabbeinu to lead Klal Yisrael, Moshe did not merely say that speaking was difficult for him. He declared, “I am not a man of words.” Yet forty years later, Moshe’s final contribution to the Torah begins: “These are the words that Moshe spoke.”How did Moshe transform from someone who needed Aharon to serve as his mouth into the man who gave us an entire Sefer Devarim?In this shiur, delivered at Mishmar on NCSY Kollel, Rav Burg explores why speech is central to what it means to be human, how Torah helps us discover and articulate our deepest selves, and why finding your voice is not about becoming a public speaker. It is about uncovering the unique truth Hashem placed within you—and developing the courage to bring it into the world.Moshe began with someone else speaking for him. He ended by speaking words that continue to shape Klal Yisrael. That is not merely Moshe’s story. It is the journey of every human being.
