עם ישראל
Many ask about this answer, the people of Israel did not hear because of the hard work, but Pharaoh didn’t have hard work, he was the king, not a slave!
The Sfat Emet explains that because of the high level of Moshe and Pharaoh's convictions, Pharaoh could accept the words of Moshe only via Israel, but if Israel did not listen to Moshe, how could Pharaoh hear those holly words?
This brief explanation isn’t related only to the situation in Egypt, but also to the importance of each of us. If we want Divine providence to appears in our life, we need to listen to it and give it space!

Ha'azinu PURSUIT is PERFECTION
p. Ha'azinu, Shabbat Shuva
Rav Kook deals with the question of the seemingly hopeless nature of Tshuva. For G-d Himself knows that He created us with free will, which inevitably means we will sometimes make mistakes and choose wrong. This can easily be frustrating, freezing us into inaction and ye'ush (loss of hope). If one sins even once, does he chalila have no choice but suicide?! Moreover, our Godly conscience demands justice, righteousness and perfection, but we all know this is impossible, so what's the solution? Rav Kook's innovative thinking, strongly based on chazal (our sages), offers an inciteful and important aspect to this topic, especially this time of year!
