Parshas Yisro Part 2 (Rabbi Shlomo Schiller) (Weekly Parsha - Parshas Yisro)

so we are in parashatito and we said the other day that this is the very important [Music] because this is where the Jewish people going to experience the biggest event ever that is making us the Jewish people receiving the Torah we mentioned that already from creation Hashem was waiting for this day there will be a nation that will receive his Torah and they'll glorify God's name in the world um some people ask guys why the tour is not given to the Patriarchs avermitz though great people how come the Torah is not given to them so the answer is that Hashem was waiting to give the Torah for a nation not the individuals Avon was an individual right a great-grandfather Ava was an individual Yakov only by yaakov we start to build really the to extend the Jewish Family the 12 tribes over there really start the tribes and they go down to Egypt Hashem redeems them they go out to the desert and they received the Torah so Hashem was waiting to give the Torah to a nation not the individuals and that's why he so to speak he had to wait right and not to give the Torah earlier um but we do know that the the midrash teaches us and the gumar teaches us that the Patriarchs uh fulfill the Torah voluntarily meaning they were not commanded to do it but keeping Shabbat and putting on filling and such a now so this is really the most important event ever I just want to go over with you the tour goes in details you know they went out of Egypt they got to the desert and what the first thing the Jewish people do here you go complaint oh no water no that right but let's move on right eventually they're coming to Mount Sinai and the Torah describes in details when they arrive to Mount Sinai and the preparation that was done for matantara so first you see the idea the message is that it's very important to we I we human being we are psychological we have to we have a mindset right we have a thought right we have to observe things in the right way and the Torah is teaching us this message that we have to prepare ourselves for Martin Torah it's not just one day one day in the morning Moshi calls them hey guys come out from the tent we're receiving the Torah today it's happening it's preparation and the tour goes in details how they prepare themselves so we'll see that but the big messages guys is that you need a preparation especially when you're talking about a big thing something that is important something that is crucial something that it could be a game change for your life you need the right preparation that's the message so I want to go back let's go back the first time when Hashem is speaking to Moshe in the event of the in the in the bush so foreign what is it 300 yeah okay yeah 300 this that's where Hashem meets Moshe in the bush right uh Moshe sees this strange thing right the the bushes on fire but the fire is not eating the bush so look at the 300 302 page 302 302 verse 12. verse 11 let's do verse 11. so verse 11 so but yeah Hashem told Moshe right Moshe came to check the bush and I said something okay it's time to take out my people out of Egypt and Hashem is going into details you know and I'll bring them then I'll bring them into the land right the great land of Canaan the land of milk and honey and you'll be the Redeemer you'll be the messenger you go right and speak the power what does Moshe answer what does Moshe respond who are who I am me you want me to go to speak to power Moses is a Shepherd in mindyan right who I am the ramban explains that Moshe is staying saying two things over here first of all who I am to go to speak the power I'm a simple Shepherd from mcdian if our Shepherd comes to speak to the king and says to him hey by the way let my people go right I mean the the real react probably of a king just get rid of him in two seconds right so that's the Miano who I am to go to speak the power right second what Moshe is saying is you think that the Jewish people will listen to me I have the capacity that the Jewish people follow me so it's really two things going on here the fear from Power I'm really a nobody who I am to go to speak to pharah be also with the Jewish people why they should follow me I'm capable to take out the Jewish people from Egypt that's what the ramban points out and therefore Hashem enters to him in verse 12. for your concern that you have fear from Power don't worry I'm with you right so I'm giving you on the back I'm with you a hundred percent so it's not you going to priority alone I'm with you and supporting you a hundred percent he ain't come with you and this will be your sign that I send you but you'll take out we'll take out the nation when you will take them out of Egypt serve etelo Kim the god you'll serve me Allah this is the sign that when you do take out the people from Egypt they'll work God they'll serve God on this mountain what is Hashem saying over here Hashem is saying that ramban explains like this this is the answer for your second problem right the first problem we said don't worry I'm with you don't Don't Be Afraid from Power I'm with you okay how the Jewish people follow me who I am again just a simple Man from Nowhere in Midian why they should follow me listen to me cooperate with me the answer is here we go we'll do it in stages you go and tell them that it's time to be redeemed right and all slaves want to go out of slavery nobody wants to stay out in slavery how they'll follow you so you don't have to tell them right away that you know we're going out to Israel and Hashem has this Mega plan we'll do it in stages first though come here and serve Hashem in this mountain will be mutantor the Jewish people start to be familiar with Hashem revealing himself to them and that will make it that they'll listen to you so meaning Moshe you become Moshe after the Jewish people that the god of slavery just for a few days it's simple that's not a big job and there will be even more strong and familiar with you and comfortable to follow you after matantara and that's what he's saying don't worry you don't have to go straight to the big big thing we're talking on something small just take them out of Egypt slavery right for that they'll be happy to listen to you to feel power don't worry the Jewish people you're talking about something small go out for a few days to serve Hashem in this mountain right that will cause them that they're starting the system starting this idea right getting used to the idea that Hashem is with them Hashem has a plan he's going to take it out with Egypt he's taking care of them in the desert eventually he wants to bring them in Israel to Israel so that's the answer in the very beginning and that's what we're going to see now that that's what's happening when Hashem is going to appear to the Jewish people in Mount Sinai he says to Moshe by this event that the Jewish people experience in Mata in Mount Sinai scene that you over there in the mountain speaking I'm speaking to you and you communicating to the Jewish people that is the strength of Moshe and that's what makes Moshe emotion and that was the totally belief of the Jewish people the highest level of belief that now the Jewish people totally believe in Moshe the game okay so I just wanted to show that that's how Hashem said to him already then that this is what will be happen that you'll come to this mountain and we'll take it from there look at this oh oh good okay okay now let's go to parashatra so we sir Believe In Motion means that you believe that the motion is a true Prophet that's what it means Believe In Motion that Moses the true Prophet that all what he's saying is coming from Hashem it it works it works in a way the Hashem appears moshields the highest level as a human being that is possible Moshi goes up to heaven 40 days 40 nights and doesn't eat doesn't drink oops don't try it right it's not going to work so how did it happen right so and the all the commentaries explained also at the talmud also explained that Moshe had the highest level of Prophecy it says in the Torah actually that when Miriam right and Alan are talking about Moshe hey he left his wife behind right this uh sin of lashon are talking about Moshe what did he do so Hashem comes to them and says hey how are you talking to my servant right he's different than others um and I I think that to answer the anxiety that Moshe feels over leading the Jewish people which is a real anxiety Jews who said how are you going to arbitrate for us who are you to do that right are you going to strike us down and recommend what Hashem tells Moshe is like you're going to tell them that that you're taking them to the mountains to serve me and so part of the amelioration is like you're going to align your instruction with with my commandment and my guidance and and really you're bringing them to my doorstep and that's how you're going to convince them it's my authority like you said right meaning I should be saying to him in different roads I'm not asking you something crazy I think it's something that is doable bring them to the mountain to serve Hashem and we'll take it from there that's that's the idea okay let's go to chapter 19. so chapter 19 page 400. I I am skipping a bit as you realize this is already chapter 19 it's the Alia ve uh let's get to the main event of the past yatito is Martin Torah it is mentioned here something also very interesting the advice that gitro gave to Moshe everybody is familiar why is he judging along all the Jewish people and they are waiting in line forever to get to speak to Moshe and he gives him this idea oh higher ministers below you that they could handle the small things and the big issues bring to Moshe so the simple understanding do you really need Etro for that for that advice wasn't something you know wow inventing something unbelievable over here sin that sounds very simple why are you handling everything on your own and people are winning a line right higher ministers deal with small things and the big things bring to you so you might say again you need somebody from the outside to see your problems sometimes sometimes you don't realize your own problems you need somebody who's like outside thinking outside the box so also over here but some commentaries explain that the the emotions thinking that he knew that is a problem and they're waiting in line but maybe it's worth it for to speak the motion so yeah the waiting online and it's taking forever by the end of the day you're getting to speak with motion so it's rough the upside of speaking to Moshe directly right and Ito came and said his advice yeah I hear what you're saying that it's upside also to wait to speak to you but the downside is greater the the time and the efforts that the people have to wait so for the small things really is not worth it to wait to talk to you if it will be something big that's worth to come to speak to you that's another approach okay that's in the meantime that's a here in the middle let's go to chapter 19 pursue caliph Odes the third month let's set when the Jewish people went out of Egypt that very day with bow Sinai they came they arrived in the desert of Sinai the third Jewish month is Sivan The Jewish people God of Egypt the 15th of Nisan right in the morning by the way you see this idea when something has to happen right I should make sure that it happens exactly on time the Jewish people are 210 years in Egypt and comes exactly the moment that they have to go out and Hashem rushes them to go out because there's a way to say one second let's say you know get organized and let's plan it right and let's take it easy you know two weeks of packing right and no Hashem Russians them because the idea is when it does come the time it has to happen now that's also showing the hand of Hashem how could millions of people right get together pack get together right and travel so fast and leave Egypt so is the two ideas together showing that when the right time comes it's going to happen right away and strong showing the strength of Hashem when Redemption has to happen at the moment that it has to happen is going to happen and Hashem will do everything that it should happen right instead of the right the women imagine oh we need a pack right two weeks to pack at the back this at the back of that right whoops that's one of the greatest Miracles right okay so they come to meet bowsinai look at verse 2. they traveled from either arrived in Midvale Sinai they camped they parked in the desert Israel negative again the camp they settled across the mountain do you see a difficulty here just these two verses do you see any problem in this verse These two verses what this verse 1 say s what does verse 2 say s oh they traveled and they came you already told me that they came right verse 1 says the third month for the Exodus of of the Jewish people from Egypt they came to meet bausinai and then verse 3 said oh they traveled from and they came to him at balsinite it seems to be out of order they had to tell me first that they traveled from and they arrived to Mount Sinai to the desert of Sinai it seems to be out of order and it seems to be also repeating so what's going on here so the overachham is saying the we're talking about the Jewish people eventually finally finally coming to the biggest event ever right the wedding the Jewish people of the wedding with Hashem right so so to speak Hashem couldn't wait to say oh the Jewish people arrived so he jumps the door jumps and says the Jewish people made it when Mount Sinai and then after we explain oh they traveled from this place called refridim and they made it but first we want to get to the main idea oh my gosh this is really happening finally finally my dream that the nation will come and receive my Torah in Mount Sina it's really happening now so we're going to the main thing first oh they arrived they're here it's happening it's going to happen in a few days I'm about to give them the Torah and then we're going to details explaining oh how they traveled and that's first the verse one they arrived verse 2 explains the detail well they traveled from refridine to cni why did Hashem wait 50 days to give them the Torah if the right if Hashem is taking them out for to give the Torah why not in 48 hours you need what so what what is this so how you helping by 50 days foreign doing so great in Egypt the whatever that means it's a little bit kabbalistic ideas and mystical ideas but we do understand even for our level that we're not doing great and many of them were worshiping ideals not necessarily keeping Shabbat like they're supposed to do right or whatever so then it says that the 49 Gates of impurity so again whatever that means but the idea we get the Jewish people you can't take somebody that is so deep in impurity and make that jump and say to him okay yesterday you're worshiping you know 10 different kinds of ideals and you're doing this and that and that right and now hey come to the show keep Shabbos put on filling eat kosher right it just doesn't work and that's again the idea that you need preparation the the actually it says in stay away from the bed there are set of and then do the good right that's what David amelick is telling us we human being right we have body we have needs we're psychological like we I said so we work in a certain system and Hashem can't bring just take out the people and give them the tour right away in a few hours he's preparing them in the 50 days in a desert is really taking them out from the impurity that are in Egypt and these the commentaries explained that actually every day it was for every gate 49 Gates of impurity every day was preparation that they should be able to receive the Torah and they're doing both sumira getting rid of the bad that they're doing in Egypt vast set of and preparing them for mutton Torah and that's why they cut the says only in the third month he's coming and they're ready to receive the Torah and he will start in the the final real preparation for receiving the Torah yes I also wonder if there's a need to cool down from the Miracles so that people can accept the Torah more sober-mindedly right like maybe when you it's still a huge sway on you but it's a benefit that when we receive the Torah finally you have this period of like calmness and like absence of bits from just crazy events I think that that you could take that in mind also have that in mind also all those needed for to prepare themselves for matantara but definitely the main idea was that there were not ready to receive the third right away and that's why Hashem does wait 50 days even though it's like the groom that is waiting for the for the wedding right when is this going to happen when is the bride coming and we'll make have this Mega wedding but you need the patience but you got to do it at the right time and okay yes okay so so right so that so now you're asking so how it could be 50 days forget about a few hours that could be 50 days so the answer is with the probably with the we do say also like this you open up uh it says that a man has to just take a few steps and hashems helps them with the rest it says the the tunnel says you open up just uh uh do a hole like a needle and Hashem will open up like a huge hole so it's all hish that loot what it has to be the minimum is 50 days okay so that's the what I said that's the overheim explaining that that's what it means he's jumping and saying they arrive we're here we're about to have this Mega wedding right the biggest ever uh event and then he explains in details but look a minute again that they traveled from they arrived in Mount Sinai they camped and then it says they camped over there they parked over there Israel a very crucial Point here here the Jewish people are coming with peace not one like what does that mean no fights no arguments no fighting no complaining right everybody's coming together with like one man with one heart interesting if you if you realized last week we read that the Egyptians were running after uh the Jewish people right power heard that hey they ran away they're not coming back so he recruits his 600 soldiers wagons horses and they go run after the Jewish people and it says are running after them and Rashi says why says like single me time the but as she says though one heart like one heart and one man what's the difference one heart one man or if you say one man and one heart sorry so look at this actually right you see one man one heart and in the previous parasha foreign bless you Christian nice Library health um which we caused yeah look at the ver look at Chapter 14 verse 10. Chapter 14 verse 10. yeah yeah I want to show you the difference what is it 370 yeah so look at verse 10. 370. Paul is coming closer this is he's pursuant running after the Jewish people they raise the eyes they pick up their eyes the Egyptians are after them says Rashi mitzrayim look at that verse he is traveling it says he is single it doesn't say in plural it says like one individual um the Egyptians are traveling after them but it says single nosea one heart like one man and that's a big difference the difference is like this and it's very important when the Jewish people come to Mount Sinai that was one of the conditions if we're talking about preparing for Mount Sinai this is a crucial idea they have to be United how many meets what we have 613. if I want to be a great side could I fulfill the 613 Mitzvah no way right I'm not a coin I'm not a lady one of them it's one of the Commandments is things that sometimes don't have to happen in life right like a man divorces his wife doesn't have to happen right hopefully it won't happen right but if it does that's what you do so there's no way guys that a man could fulfill the 613 so what is this whole idea of 613 results if I can't do 613 results what is this dentist together we could do 613 Meets World the Jewish people the power of the Jewish people is only when they are united only we're not together and that's what the talmud teaches us all the Jewish people we guarantee one teacher one for each other it's like you signed a loan for your friend you're guarantored for him all Jewish people call Israel they're guarantored to one each other it's not just a nice idea to say that we care for each other and we have in mind for each other it's real that's reality and that's the only way in order to receive the Torah they had to come parking to Mount Sinai together like one man meaning that really like one man a one one man means that he has one heart that's what it says by the Jewish people that's why Rashi says they arrived they came to Mount Sinai one man one heart by the Egyptians it says one heart like one man meaning for that moment the Egyptians had something in common that they want to pursue and get the Jewish people back to slavery it was only a temporarily thing at that moment on one hand like one like one man but it wasn't real it was temporarily only for that moment oh my gosh they ran away let's run after them let's bring them back to slavery we'll miss the Jewish slaves let's bring them back so it's temporary and not real but but the Jewish people it's crucial and it's one of the conditions and it's a condition that is necessary and it wouldn't happen without it and that's why it says single not plural they came eventually they come after traveling from they come to Mount Sinai with this idea that they're United that together now in business now Hashem could go and give them the Torah foreign now what we're going to see in the next verses is the preparation that Hashem is going to communicate to the Jewish people through Moshe verse 3. um so we're back to Chapter 19 Verse 3. so moshia goes up right to speak to Hashem to hear you know so how we do this to happen what are what are what are the details like I love Hashem Israel this is what you should tell the women the patriarchovies referring to the women Israel and to tell the males of the Jewish people by the way if you realize tomal in Hebrew is a soft language to the women you just have to speak softly they get it but the men you have to speak tough taged tagid is the horror language so Hashem is already telling them how to handle with the Jewish people how to deal with them to the Jewish women foreign [Music] been tough more with the men okay Shrine you saw with your own eyes it's not stories it's not witnesses that came to tell you it's not Messengers you saw with the owners and speaking to you the people that saw all what happened in Egypt City Limits I carried you I'll confess I carrying to you like on the way the wings of the eagle I carried you Al confer the wings of the eagle The Aviator and I'm bringing in over to you so Hashem is still in Moshe this is what you should tell the Jewish people right you sow it your own eyes it's not stories it's not second hand it's you you are the people right you are actually the witnesses that will be for the future you saw what I did in Egypt my hand my power and I carried you on the wings of the eagle what is that so Rashi says that the all other birds carry the the I call them the babies right in the legs because they flat they fly low so they're afraid right from other birds so they put them in their legs the eagle flies the highest he buys above it's nobody above him so he puts the babies on his wings and that's why Hashem says I carried you and I protected you from everybody like the eagle not only that I carried you that's what it means that Hashem is taking care of us that's what that's what Rashi says look at Rashi guys no man I just want to know if I can look on natural the the fear the fear of the ego is not from other birds they feel the fear of the eagle is from a from an arrow that a man will shoot on him so he puts the babies on the wings to protects him to full protection all the other birds are afraid from other birds just look at Rashi kenes on his wings all other birds they put the babies between the legs the fishes this Eagle he has no fear he's afraid only from from men from human being though shooting him an error and kill him so Hashem carried you and carrying you in the best way that is possible meaningful protection like the eagle that carries the babies similar to that that's rashism says I carried you in other ways right if you remember Hashem when he went out of when we took he's taking out the Jewish people he didn't want to take them near the near the nation of plistim that all start up with them and start a war so they surrounded and they went around in the desert meaning I carried you in a way in different ways there is no other people over there in order that I will take care of you a hundred percent and you won't you don't you don't have to deal with the local people fighting with you and starting a war okay we'll stop here for today
