Vayigash 5786 - Klal Yisroel and Golus HaShechina

this parash speak and he's telling that I will go down to soal speak about go down to and the gmorrah explains about the concept of golus being and so on. And the general sense of it is the kadesh has we spoke about a while back about the that's the general concept of bigalooa. There's another angle to bea that the barbell speaks about and in different places it's mentioned and spoken about and it's important to understand that dimension [clears throat] himself is not easily and readily projected into the world. Um himself obviously is not visible but Akadeshu's actions and Akadeshu's doings um does not openly project this world. This world is a world of tea of nature. It's not a world of nim there does not want to do nissim. um it goes against what he would like to do and therefore the world works with the framework of tea of nature. Now how does one recognize a bar in that nature? So just like when it comes to creation, we have a kadesh who is recognized in the world not because there's anything specifically miraculous or natural, but take together the entire the entire framework of [snorts] nature and all the various laws that govern the behavior of the bodies of the different um celestial bodies of the universe and so on. And when we look back at the entire picture, we say no, there's a master to it. there has to be some sort of and that's that that is the um normal perspective of this that's the that's the perspective of so we don't does not manifest himself through any open miracles but looking back and seeing that what we call nature in itself is a great miracle is an extraord extraordinary um creation that functions so well and so consistently and that itself is the best testimony. That's the um simple understanding of of how is manifest in the world and the Rambam spells it out when he speaks about Arainu and how of Roma um was able to discern the um the the the Kaju's handiwork by extrapolating from nature and so on. That's one part of it. The next part, the second part is which means that did not merely create the world but is directing and moving the world towards a goal that he had in mind when he created it. That's hashkah saku wanted a world that would be mukken a world that would run on moral principles that he had um given us and he wanted a world like that and that's how we expect to see the world around us that works um [clears throat] primarily by seeing kairo in other words is the chosen nation of chosen in the sense that we are the people that can actually carry out and >> [clears throat] >> um this the a life that's consistent with what ultimately wants a life of Torah and therefore we are um um we we are so to speak the demonstration of Ashkra Now it goes in two directions. When Clius does what's right and what's good and is there unnaturally for them, that's a profound um demonstration of and and's role in it. That's why you find like our very presence, our very essence, the way in which it is >> [clears throat] >> um the way it reflects um roses in the bus. The fact wants us and who cares for us and so on is all reflected in the the the benevolence that bestows upon us. That is ashka at its best reflector of Israel. But when Claudius Ro doesn't do what's right and we are um subject to tremendous humiliation, subjugation and you know everything in gulus. So all of a sudden um it becomes the goyam don't particularly understand what we've done wrong and they therefore do not ascribe it to a a a temporary punishment for a temporary shortcoming. They either say, you see, and that's that was Moshenu's um plea to Hashem that they they're not going to ascribe Claudius's not entering role due to their shortcoming, but rather Takashbu shortcoming was so linked to that's one direction in which >> [clears throat] >> um it it goes can be taken. The second direction is that um like the Christians who or maybe Muslims also but the Christians for sure in you find in the Spanish during the Spanish era. The Christians had a um they had a um they had a powerful argument against the Jews and their argument was how can it how can you say that you're the chosen nation and the truth is with you when you're in such dire circumstances decade after decade century after century. you're really the the the the the wretched the wretched of of of the earth and you come and tell me that this is what Hashem wants. How could that be? The Kuzari has it mentions it many times and know this is part and parcel of of the argument that the um has the idea that how can you be consider yourself chosen people when take a look at what you like. You're a disgrace. So our existence when it's barely survival because of constitutes a tremendous it either means that is not up to it the way said you know and so on that's that's the one or you see that the truth of the new testament is the real truth from the from how wretched the Jews look and are. It cannot be that they're the people of God when take a look how God has abandoned them. Those are two tremendous kalashems that um that that occur when Israel sins and was forced to send him to gullus with all the disgrace and disparagement that that leads to that's called the itself is in gulus because is the manifestation of a kadesha And that is only through and sins and becomes diminished then this is the result of it. Therefore um it says when when clio will go up that will reinstitute the sense of and it's more than thatel says these this refers to all the miracles that does for us when he takes us out of the gullis. Every taking out of a golus usually demands um some incredible nissim because most of the time we're being held by very foulful nation and so on has to do great nissim to get us out. So it it's accompanied by great nissim and that sort of speaks reinstitutes um the sense of and so on. So the Nissim that accompanied Kaiso leaving Matim um they they were almost a um necessity to write the wrong that had sort of been >> [clears throat] >> uh seemingly perpetrated by Kasroll's um situation with we look at mine it's 200 years that they're slaves and these people who are slaves are really God's people can't be but so if they would have somehow succeeded in running away or getting out in a very quiet way we still would have said okay you happen to get out but the 200 years is much stronger proof but now when is going to get out of Mitim it's going to be with an extraordinarily remarkable set of nissim unparalleled. It retroactively reveals that is Hashem's nation that they were in golus because of not spite of it. They were engul because needed them to purify themselves to be to become the people that they should become. And as soon as that happened as soon as they reached that point then um the gateways of ghoul opened and it was in the gula it was openly and it was clear that it's all yashm and this retroactively um debunked the the idea that is is not present. So clault is Hashem's nation. It means we are the showcase of Hashem. Whatever he wants to express to us. When we do what's right expresses bounty and silver through us. When things um when goes off to they sin suffers terribly that suffering becomes aem as well because the say okay this is what this is. They're not the chosen people. After all, the Torah is from not true and so on. And when a keshbu reinstates us that becomes retroactively an understanding of of of Israel.
