Parashat Va'era 5786 | Moses' Speech Defect: A Torah Mystery

Why would the greatest prophet in history struggle with speech? Moses described himself as “heavy of mouth and heavy of tongue”—yet he delivered the entire Torah, and gave over some of the most powerful words ever recorded. So what was his speech impediment really about? There is a profound truth hidden here, about the true nature of speech, and what it means to communicate from a place beyond words.
