Ari Goldwag - Beshalach - Perfect Dove

you're listening to the weekly partial podcast with Ari Gold wag recorded with a chums never-ending assistance in wampum Israel 5778 2018 this week's parsha is part is bacala and this week's parsha is the culmination of the exodus of the Jewish people's released from bondage from slavery in Egypt and it's the beginning of a march towards freedom of a march towards receiving the Torah at har Sinai the greatest revelation that has ever occurred in the history of mankind and I always like to look at the sukham look at the verses at the moment at the moment of challenge at the moment of difficulty at that final moment before the Jews are about to be saved at yam soup to have the most amazing miracle occur to them where they are going to walk through the young safe walk through the water on dry land amazing miracle that all of us experienced only three thousand three hundred years ago but a miracle that goes down in history as we're at the greatest miracle walking through the walking through the the water walking through the 12 different channels that were opened up for the twelve tribes of the Jewish people and just before that miracle occurs the Torah tells us that the Jewish people called out they call out to God they were crying to God on one side they had the Egyptians the Egyptians were racing after them trying to destroy them yes there was an Amul ha a nun there was a protective cloud that stood between the Jewish people and the Egyptians but the Egyptians were menacing the Jewish people had been slaves for so long and their captors were there waiting in to destroy them on the other side was the water seemed like there was nowhere to go but as is the case with with shemin's protection of the Jewish people and the miracles that ensue when it seems like there's nowhere to go there's one one place to go and that is up it's toward soshim calling out to a Shem calling out to God an amazing miracle that occurs as a result of that I'd like to focus in on that exact moment Hashem says Mattie Tequila Hashem says to moshe rabbeinu moses now is the time to stop from calling out to me now is the time to move the other along with you so the Jewish people are enjoined then commanded to move they're commanded to go into the water rely on miracles you can rely and you can believe in the miracle that Hashem is going to now save the Jewish people make a final create a final salvation for them bring them through the water destroy their enemies destroy the Egyptians I'd like to share with you an amazing and beautiful beautiful Madras that speaks about the relationship of hashem with the Jewish people very interesting terms it also speaks about this salvation why not Shem place the Jewish people he had already saved them you know are we taking them out of Egypt why was it necessary to have this final showdown with the Egyptians running after them one more time destroying them once and for all what was this about Haddad exceed the measures tells us that this is what the verse means when it says it's in she Reshiram and the Song of Songs chapter 2 verse 14 the verse refers to the Jewish people you know C Bukawai Acela my dove who is in the crack of a rock hi Alomar you know obvious hello Mouse Omar you know see it should have just said a dove that's in the crack of the rock why does it say my dove and the American on America lease well you know see it's God speaking to the Jewish people referring to them as his dove Hashem calls the Jewish people his beloved dove now there's an interesting contrast between other places where we find that the Jewish people are referred to as other animals remax Eve see what it says in Hosea chapter 7 verse 11 by hear from Kiana paisa in life the Jewish people became the Jewish people was referred to as a frien that's when they were in a state of sin so they were like a you know like a dove foolish without heart I'm Rocco - bro quits Lehane Kiana voice aw Colma Shani guys are lame Ison is Shamim Lee they're like a unthinking dove they go forward without thinking what does that mean in this case the measure she's understanding and it's a positive thing all that I decree Hashem says they do it and they listen to me IVA late selected kocoum caution in Cahiers the Jewish people are compared to a dove because it dove is a beautiful animal it's a light animal it just you know you can chase after the dove and it flies away but when it comes to other animals other animals are more brazen they are more difficult to challenge so the nations of the world like a coven those who serve idolatry they're difficult they're tough like animals Shalimar Guru Arjan Hooda in Yemen's evia trough very interesting the possib sukham verses that refer to the jewish people as animals but the managers understanding that the character traits of the jewish people where you Hooters referred to as a lion Benjamin is referred to as a wolf he done now officially Dara Dan is considered like a like a snake the FEHA concussion can I get a vehicle haben the Jewish people the way that we relate to Hashem the way that our relationship is with God is like a dove we relate to God we do God's will we we whatever our Shem says we just listen as well soon see from the beautiful Pacific never refer to it but when it comes to the way that we interact with the nations of the world the blessings it seems that that Yaakov Avena that Jacob gave to the tribes of Israel has to do it the way that they interact with the world and so because the nations of the world act with us in a brazen way like animals so we have to have a meat that we have to have the character trait of brazenness in order to be able to conquer the meat of the character trade of the nations of the world so we have to interact with them in this way we they have to be like a line we have to be like a wolf we have to be like a snake llama sure are you taking a club and why is this true because the nations of the world I mean like a MASH my time of action in a Shabbos has a time Shimon the nations of the world turned to the Jewish people and they say why are you keeping the Sabbath what do you expect from Sabbath what is the Sabbath give to you that you're keeping the Sabbath minami law has a shot mo Mowlam the nations of the world challenge us why you made why are you doing the circumcision it's dangerous for the baby the mavs action of a dilemma mitzvos throughout history until this very day in Europe there have been nations who want to stop us from fulfilling the commandments they Nasim Koenig and cosmic ayahs and so the Jewish people have to be as tough as an animal when it comes to facing off with those who challenge us to fulfill the commandments so it's very interesting in our relationship with a sham we are soft we do whatever our M says in our relationship where the nations of the world where they challenge us we have to be tough we have to face off with them because they are tough a light socket or tofu Keanu Tama when it comes - M we won't listen to the nations of the world when they try to stop us from our relationship with Hashem but when it comes to God so we're like a dove we're like a perfect about dove shining like a mushroom Glazer lame Shem makes a decree upon us we do whatever God says she never value I'm a naam the verse tells us in Exodus chapter 4 verse 31 the Jewish people believed they did whatever God said with him to a more costly rational now sevenish ma the Jewish people said whatever God says we will listen we will do and we will listen the nemuru a Nazi hog VSOs hammer force us as his dove we are his beloved dove just a beautiful magic I remember Eliza been with us Kevon she also meets Ryan so now here's where we get to our story our description of events where the Jewish people are standing there there there there they left Egypt are you nice to me a.m. they lifted up their eyes are you on midstream right from a harem so here we have the Egyptians coming out to challenge us to fight against us to destroy us to stop us from finally entering into that true relationship with God she never went far ahead Crieff verse says para was getting close nice and may not Maryland I saya interesting the measures tells us that it doesn't say that they were going doesn't say that the Egyptians were going it says he went he was traveling singular what does it mean came and she got separa by midstream Lord if a harem when Pharaoh and the Egyptians went out to run after the Jewish people Halloween a mushroom I'm they looked up the Jewish people looked up and they saw a frightful sight they saw something spiritual spiritual power sir and shamans from Iraq behavior the spiritual power of Egypt the the angel which protects Egypt an angel which represents Egypt in the heavenly spheres was flying in the air kevandsian you're a churro or Sonia see are Wahabi they are extremely fearful when they saw that spiritual power of the Egyptians Chennai marvyra my verse says they were very fearful Malviya name is Ryan s a forum so why is it singular Egypt singular he was travelling after them saaransh l Mitzrayim Hashem it's Ryan the name of this angel the name of the angel which protected and represented the people of Egypt within the heavenly spheres it's name was mitzrayim Egypt Shana cutter from Apple uma assumed a pulsar Aquila the way that Hashem works is that first he destroys the angel of that country before he destroys that country with Hannah Tom I didn't even answer we find that this is true Naboo in regards to Nebuchadnezzar I'm gonna skip this book him but you've seen regards another place in Tana the first Hashem destroys the angel of that place before he destroys the place itself as Irish a parameter I'm sure my by a period ever for him the the angel was running after the Jewish people came in shaky I coulda spoke with some dream biome the Sheik Attila Sauron when Hashem was going to drown the Egyptians in the sea first Hashem drowned the spiritual power of the Egyptians in the station mr uh you know arashiyama smith shrine be safe I am the verse tells us a sham shook Egypt mitzrayim it's a reference singular to the to the angel of mitzraim the angel of Egypt yes Sarge from South Africa and Europe our Haley first session destroyed that spiritual power and then a sham shook Pharaoh and all of his mighty warriors machines Hussein regime ramavaram you know mr ellis's verily it says singular his horse and he Ryder is SR Sheila had that's referring to their spiritual power have a V name it certainly say aha RAM and it's also the singular reference the spiritual power is running after them very interesting because it's the power which is coil it includes all of them it's the spiritual power which we've spoken about the Kyllo before it that's why it's singular Malfoy Rohit crave measures tells us another point first point we have is the love of a Shem the way that the Jews act as a dove as opposed to when it comes to the nations of the world they act like they act like a lion or they act like they have a spiritual brazenness when it comes to the nations of the world that's the first point the second point is that there was a spiritual power of the Egyptians that was running after the Jewish people shun destroyed it third point Omalu farah hick rev no she compared to see Stella true which also amazing beautiful thing that what is idea that power the verse says power was getting closer but the way that he the language that he uses is hickory which means it's actually a language of saying that he brought close doesn't mean that he literally means not that he came close but that he brought close who did he bring close and less sure he could be Sarah chuvash I assume Pharaoh by chasing after the Jewish people cause the Jewish people cause someone else to come close because the Jewish people took him close to God because they did jouvert they repented omer of bravia rebecca says yahveh is a crevice partly around we met Simon syphilis the the coming closer Pharaoh to the Jewish people was better for the Jewish people than a hundred fasts and prayers meaning it's possible to do tube is possible to repent come close to God through fasting and prayer but the enemy of the Jewish people chasing after the Jewish people was more powerful than a hundred fasts and 100 prayers Lama shake Haven she wrote to a harem why is this that since they they ran after the Jewish people ROI son the Jewish people saw their enemies coming and CRO might they were extremely fearful metonymy name la Mara and they looked up to the heavens and he said god help us Vasu chuva they repented with his Palo Duro and they prayed Shan Emma as says in Exodus chapter 14 verse 10

so difficult it was such a challenge the enemy was coming closing them off ahuyama Sager by signing right if a heisman amid were animals had come in from the wilderness and they they were chasing after the Jewish people on one side Egyptians on the other side the the water was on the third side Jedi Master girl am i Midler the verse tells us that they were closed in by the wilderness I'm arrived here may have been allows there ain't cigar La Hoya's we find that when it says closed in it's a reference to animals that are closing in on you as genevra's verses in Daniel chapter 6 verse

beautiful just such a I mean this is the way that we see when it comes to personal challenges this is the way we see when it comes to national challenges look throughout the history of the Jewish people look at 1967 look throughout the times Jewish people faced off with a challenge it looks like we're okay new challenge arises looks like we're we're done for we pray miracles happen why is it work this way metrics tells us an amazing and interesting thing I'll show hi-yah - for whom is Avila to feel awesome why not sham do this sham wanted their prayer sham wants us in prayer what is the idea this we need to understand so she wants us to pray ashram wants us to call out my sham wants us to ask for his help and wants us to have a real relationship with him so sometimes if we forget about the relationship we don't recognize it enough sham creates a situation which seems intensely difficult so that we will recognize that it's God who is saving us who's taking care of us who's watching over us already Shubin levy Lamar double diamond maybe Sherman lady gave us an analogy lamella this is comparable to a king show your Baba Dara a king was walking along he was coming along on

gear abolished him he took those bandits out of jail and and he created a situation where she again needed him Ganesha it's like the Ishmael Mela in order that she call out and that the King would respond so the king created a situation where they would need where he would be needed again by the very princess we wish to marry that's an analogy Akhilesh woohoo God he was ready to save the Jewish he had saved them already there was something missing in the relationship the Jews had not yet acknowledged they hadn't sung that song yet as the excessive explained they hadn't there wasn't the completion of the salvation of the Jewish people yet so Shem created a new situation which was not a real situation which was not a true danger it seemed like a danger by a college welcome created so that they would call out to him so that they would acknowledge God and God would save them one final time and then they would come and they would sing came in Chabot okay Giro okay Cayman Chabot allow

this Dove this beloved of to God and how God wants our prayers God puts us through challenges you know we think oh it's so hard it's so hard the challenges it's so hard Shem puts us through these things because he wants to hear our voice he wants to hear a depth of love he wants to hear that voice that he said before that yearning that need that connection that's what's going on here and sometimes it comes because we're in a challenge sometimes it comes because we have walked out of the challenges I'm a saved us sometimes it comes because the nations of the world are challenging us with their brazenness and we need to respond with our breeziness and sometimes we see the spiritual power of the nations of the world and it seems like they're more powerful than us neshama shows us that I'm coming to save you I'm coming to destroyed their spiritual power and I'm coming to strengthen your spiritual power show over and over again how the Jewish people are the ones who reflect that beautiful simple power that simple that dove that just effortlessly flies up doesn't have to have brazenness of the lion doesn't have to have the brazenness of a wolf of a snake all of these animals which have brazenness we need that power as well but ultimately it's all about the love and the willingness that we have to do a Shems will because we see Shem is there for us in all of our challenges so I want to bless you please bless me because Shem should help us in all of these different stages and all of the different places where we find ourselves whether it's in the challenges of daily life or whether it's in the moments of salvation whether it's in the moments where we feel oppressed challenged and we need to bring up the spiritual power of the highest of the different animals that are inside of us Shem should help us to be able to have that spiritual fortitude Asham should fill us with a love with connection with a deep connection we should be able to pull forth those spiritual kiteless that ability from with inside of us the voice that we've used before Shem should help us to use it again Asham should bring us to that place of unity Tomasi of the perfect dove a perfect love
