Beshalach - The Manna, Emunah, and the Miracle

you're listening to the weekly partial podcast with ari goldwag recorded with hashem's neverending assistance in roma bishop miss israel 57 81 2021. this week's prizes purchased bashal and before we get into the parsha i'd like to mention something that's on my mind i'm thinking about and depending on your response we'll see what happens and that is that i'm considering doing this partial podcast live on thursday thursday evening for me about 10 o'clock p.m 3 p.m eastern mid midday west west coast as a zoom shear that i give and you guys can re interact with me basically i'll give the shear bleeding head there we'll give this shear 20 to 25 minutes and then we'll have 15 minutes of questions if there are any if you might be interested in such a thing please send an email to ari goldwag gmail.com and we'll see based on the response that we get if we perhaps start to do this as a live shear weekly okay let's get into the parasha i'd like to share with you a concept about the partial sun was the amazing special bread that hashem brought down from the heavens every single day for 40 years the jews were in the midwest that they were in the wilderness and the pasik tells us to moshe i'm going to bring down an imam we'll need to understand what is the word mom tear mean but the word mata we know the saint palu matar levrakha it means rain i'm going to rain down upon you bread from the heavens then the jewish people need to go out and collect it and i want to test them whether they will go in my laws or not okay so the torah lays down for us the concept of the man and the man was an unbelievable thing i saw someone mentioned in schuler aria beer told me that the words manhu the jewish people when they saw them on they said manhu it is what is it manu is the letter is a muna which means faith in the word is the same as the word it's the word which means livelihood the mind represents the concept of livelihood it represents our moon and hashem our faith in god that he will provide us with all of our needs and i'd like to share with you a madrish and it's also a gemara and um and the medrash and gomorrah tell us an incredible thing and i want to understand the depth of what this major and what this kimara is saying i'd like to read the measures first and we'll see if we get to the gemara it's basically the same idea an amazing thing says the puzzle tells us king david said this is in chapter 23 of the hillam order for me in front of me my table directly in front of my oppressors what is this puzzle referring to says the magistrate's talking about us is talking about our partial departure of the mon amos throughout when did cloud israel make this statement that god placed in front of us all of our needs on the table in order to defy our oppressors they left egypt and the nations of the world said where are they going how will they survive it doesn't make sense like think about it from the egyptians perspective this entire nation of a million and a half people leaves where are they going they're going to a place er it's lai zerua you can't plant anything there there's no food there so the nations of the world said they're going to just die in the wilderness says 78 verse 19. can god perform this amazing feat of giving them all of their needs on their table in front of them in the midbar so it seemed impossible in the nations of the world so they're they're headed for death what did god do first of all he had them all sit down and relax jesse was like what we do on pesach we lean over we're relaxed we're like kings get ready for the meal and he did this under the ananeha covered under the clouds of glory yesterday god which could mean to turn them around it could also mean sitting them down and he fed them this month suppose he says in the varmint deuteronomy chapter 8 verse 16 hamas god gave you this month to eat now listen to this measure because it's amazing and we need to understand what it means it's one of those midrashim that we always talk about trying to understand what is the concept spells out exactly that the mon was higher the height of the mon was higher than the waters of the marble the waters of the great flood in the times of noah as opposed to says in reference to when hashem brought the month to the jewish people so the passage says that god opened up the heavens the doors of the heavens were opened um in regards to the flood the verse tells us same word the windows there says windows here it says doors there it says windows the windows of the heavens were opened so the gemara numa we'll see if we read it inside at all but the gemara numa says that there are aruba sasha mime the windows of the heavens by the marble every delos every door has the amount of four windows okay so two windows were opened in regards to the mobile the flood the waters came tumbling down also matar hopefully we'll get back to the fact that it's called mata it's raining down and over here as well you have two doors each door is four windows so it's times four two windows by the marble four uh two doors which is eight windows it's kaful arma it's times four so we have that when it came to the marble says the gemara and yuma when it came to the mobile so the waters rose above the mountains 15 ammos 15 cubits which is approximately one and a half times or two two feet per cubic somewhere between you know you do the math 15 times 2 is 30. so about 30 feet 3 stories high over here was times 4. it was 60. it was 15 almost there 15 qubits there by the mobile by the flood here it was 60 cubits that's how high the mon was okay so think about it the mun came raining down so she made it it came down raining down and it made as i understand it a pile that was 60 cubits high massive massive pile every day that's what it sounds like assuming what happened to the nations of the world and the language i believe in the gemara is the kings of the east and the west they saw this amazing thing this amazing pile it's not clear exactly how they were able to see it but somehow it was shown to them they were able to see it and they said wow they started to praise hashem they started to praise hashem of the because of this amazing thing that hashem did for the jewish people and the message finishes off and says in the future time when comes when the sight arrives so provide peace for the jewish people and they indeed will be misubended they'll be sitting they'll be like kings sitting and eating in ghana in the garden of eden according to one girl the other nations of the world will see this and they will melt they will melt from jealousy says in isaiah chapter 65 verse 13 talking about the mashiach times the jewish people are going to be fed up with going to provide them with all of their needs we're going to have amazing peace we're going to have amazing all the things that we need are going to be provided hashem will provide those things and the nations of the world will look on and they will melt they will they will not have that feeling of satisfaction that the jewish people have now i want to understand clearly when the major gives us a number like 60. the number 60 is not a coincidence the number means something in in comparing the numbers of 60 to 15 so the gemara yuma says that muruba me the tiger there's a concept that the the when we talk about good things that hashem does so it's always on a greater scale than the bad things that hashem does when hashem is coming to destroy the world so the water rises 15 almost 15 cubits hashem wants to give mon to the jewish people it wants to rain down the this amazing bread the manna so it's times four it's on a higher level it's in a greater scale what is the idea here of the number 60 let's try to understand that perhaps what is the relationship when we have a connection between the mobile or the connection between the man what does that connection mean what is what is the major teaching us what is it teaching us with this connection of the mobile and the and what does it mean that it's being done in the face of the the nations of the world and why is it that the um asylum that the nations of the world do not have access to this kind of miraculous awesome level this awesome way that hashem interacts with the jewish people and gives them their food in this miraculous way so there's a lot to say here and we'll see how much time we have for it but i'd like to read to you from a little piece in the next major which i think begins begins to give us the answer to these questions god dwells in the heavens right he's bringing us down the the bread from the heavens he's causing it to rain down this amazing bread the manna um he dwells in the heavens making enough for hashem brings us up to where he is he brings us up to where he is we're down in the dumps where the where in the afar raises us up from the dust from the impoverished state that the jewish people were in ali the jewish people were literally in the dust they were collecting dirt in order to be able to make these um bricks for the egyptians to be able to build their pyramids etc they were down on the lowest level and hashem stood them up brought them up to him as it were says i shall i shall cause you to walk come amuse standing up straight will be making me alfredo and one more small thing which is the same idea there was a definite end hashem gave a sign for the jewish people yaakov what is the googler going to come what are they going to be released when are they going to be out of their bondage when are we going to see that final redemption and why is the redemption in egypt going to happen so he told yaakov the jewish people are going to be like the dust of the earth which was a blessing because it was saying that there's going to be many of them just like there's many particles of dust but it also means that they will be downtrodden when the jewish people are downtrodden they're down in the dumps they're down in the earth they're busy bending over collecting earth in order to make these bricks boys that's when they're going to have an awesome expansion you want to know you want to know how we merit to have a man how are we meant to have a miraculous bread that rains down on the jewish people for 40 years we need to know that this is hashem this has to do with our parnassa we're going to get to him we're going to understand what his mum tear what does it mean that god brings it down he rains it down you want to know how to get the miraculous bread you want to know how to get parnassa in a way which is above nature so hashem has a special way of doing that for the jewish people the jewish people are in a different class a different level and and that's connected to what we just talked about with the um not being able to access it and that is that the jewish people have this unique relationship with hashem that we undergo a downtrodden state we have to go into ghosts have to go into exile but you should know that when we're in that place of exile you don't have to worry you don't have to wait too long that downtrend the more downtrodden we are the more we are assured the more we are assured that we're going to get something awesome for us team of accounting is an amazing ufaratsta means an expansion an in a miraculous expansion that's what the money is the money is a miraculous expansion the banished says i have to share this with you because this is what it says this is what the money is it's the expansion the money says is 60 hours high so as i understood it it means it rained down like the marble and there was piles and piles of it so so high that it was 60 hours high the banished guy says something even more amazing and i think it fits in beautifully with with this mattress the mon each and every month was a certain amount it was an armored guyless it was a piece of bread even if you have 600 000 pieces of bread i'm saying or one and a half million pieces of bread it's spread out amongst the entire jewish people there was an encampment a large encampment of the jewish people so what does it mean that it was expanded so he's that it was so high that it was high so he says an amazing thing he says that each one of them was blown up he says it was like whipped cream when you take something which is whipped so it gets much bigger than it really is the man would start off when it fell it was expanded to be 60 hours high 60 cubits high between 90 and 120 feet okay it was humongous and then it would shrink down and then the jewish people would eat their month that's what he says it's fantastic it's awesome but what does it mean it's this concept it's this very concept the man represents expansion the man represents the number 60 represents expansion the jewish people are 60 times 10 000. the jewish people are the expansion we are a limited people we are a small people right it says in regards to the jewish people the small one will be a thousand we're considered small in this world we are trampled and we are considered small but what happens is because of the smallness because of this trampling because of being oppressed negatively of the oppression these nations say it's impossible for the jewish people to survive in amidbar but because we went into the midbar because we went into that wilderness it's impossible to live there that's why we live there in a miraculous way that's where we experience expansion that's what this is saying this i believe is the the message of the mon the message of the money is hashem is saying to us the um have a certain way of being the ones have a certain way of being okay and and here i want to get to the word matar and i want to understand what the word mata means there's a ramban on on this pasuk right here i'm not going to read it inside but the ramban explains what is the word matar mean we find the word matar in regards to rain what happens when rain rain falls it falls the word mata has to do with falling now we have the word matar in another word it's the matara matara is the target if you have a if you have a bow and arrow and you want to shoot it at the target it's called the matara it's the same word why says the ramban because when you shoot an arrow it shoots up and then it comes down and hits the target now listen to this this is my own thought and i believe that it's true matar is ring the marble is rain the flood now think about it what is what did the um say they say you can't have you can't live in a midbar why because there are rules of the game there are rules there are rules to parnassa they don't view paranosa as having the same match as hashem as the heavens they say there are rules hashem imbued into the world if you do this x y z so then the result will be you'll have paranosa if you get a college education and you follow that up and you get your you do you all the things that need to be done you'll have a paranoid there are certain rules okay that's how the um live so they live without matar they don't have matar you know what matar means matar means that when it rains it's everything is directed it has a matara it has it has a spot that is supposed to hit the rain hits the exact spot it's supposed to hit the um asylum say it starts to rain they say you know it's just a global thing it's just global the rain rains everywhere and if you're in the right spot at the right time it's going to make you your field grow when the model came think about this is this is an amazing thing the marble came it was a general destruction that's what it seemed like it destroyed everything in its path but hashem says hindi martyr lo hinnony mumphter if you look at the supreme he uses the mamtar there hashem is going to rain it down i think this is my understanding of it it means it was a din an individual a tailored din a tailored judgment on the individuals it looked like a general destruction there's no such thing as a general destruction this is how i understand the word matar matar is matara it's aimed at you the water is gonna come down it's gonna destroy every individual it's not just destroying everybody it's destroying individuals and it brings up a no not safe inside of the boat the water raises him up separates him from everybody else and it destroys each and every individual in the times of noah i'm giving to you bread each and every person individually there's a matara it's aimed hashem is aiming this piece of of la of man is aimed at this sadiq it lands right next to his tent the middle type of person it's aimed a little farther away from his tent he's got to work a little harder why because he doesn't really completely believe that it's meant to be his that hashem's going to bring it to him the russia is a little farther away he's not living with the he's not living with the with the mikkime off our doll he's not living in that place of humility of wilderness the nations of the world say look these are the rules you can't move into a place of wilderness and survive they're going to die there hashem shows them no no no my friends this is a place where they will survive this is the only place for the jewish people the jewish people survive miraculously because they are oppressed because they go through difficult times and the expansion that they see afterwards is a result and the miraculous expansion that we see of the jewish people today in arts israel close to seven million jews in israel in the land of israel is a result of being oppressed as a result of two thousand years of oppression and come that culminated in a terrible terrible time 80 years ago but that oppression creates expansion and only the jewish people can access that expansion because this type of way of being was given to us this is given to us the malchemist the kings of the east and the west they see this expansion they praise hashem but it's not for them what does it mean and myrov the east and the west the kings of the east and the west they watch the sunrise in the east and they watch the sunrise in the west everything is just heaven it's just natural it's the way things go so shame says that's how it works for you but you want to know how you access faith in god hashomayim the lechem comes down from the heavens which is parnassa which is your livelihood it's in a different way if i'm always looking at how can i do things do this x y z if i follow the advice of this business expert if i follow the advice of this millionaire or billionaire i'm gonna make it too that's not that's not your skype that's not what atari wants us to learn that's not why we read the parasaman as a segula for parnasso we read the precious haman the manhu because we read the parashat because it's that's where parnasso comes from it comes to mashem and how does it come so i want to share with you one last thing and that's the gemara also in yuma the gemara yuma says why didn't hashem bring them on down once a year giving them all the money that they needed once a year they'll they'll store it away they'll carry it with them why do you do it every single day and the gemara says that the reason that it was done this way was because it's like a king who has a son and he wants his son to visit him but you see he gives his son if he gives his son a yearly stipend so his son takes the money and he runs and never sees him the whole year comes back once a year it makes it a daily stipend the prince comes home he wants to say his father wants to see him hakka despair who wants us not to be so sure not to be so sure of where our money's coming from he wants us to be not so sure xyz if i do these things this is how the money's going to come he wants us to know that it's not a global deal that i just rain it down and and you know grab the dollar bills or not it's a matara says i have a tailor made for you will you open up your hands to receive it or will you think that you have to grab it and it's your way that's the difference between the way that the um think the jewish people think and who sits who sits in peace under the akavi in the midbar and in the future time when mashiach comes who sits there it's called israel the um asylum they they watch it and they weep because they weren't given that opportunity my servants will eat and you'll be hungry it depends on us how do we want to deal with kurdish do we want to deal with him with nature do we want to deal with him with with ammuna we'd be talking with faith in him hashem throughout this thing i just heard something said to me and we all perhaps know this but throughout the pandemic we see that hashem is mamtir hashem decides hashem aims there's a matara every single person person could be very careful casual something bad can happen a person can be completely not careful and nothing happens i'm not saying we shouldn't do what we're supposed to do and we shouldn't be careful but we do see us hashem is in charge of everything shema is showing us that in every single way and he wants us to return to him just like the prince and the king the king wants his son to return to him and ask him for his knees hashem wants us to know that i don't know i'm going to feed my family tomorrow but there's a god and he loves me and he cares about me and he wants me to ask so we got to ask i want to bless you and i ask you to bless me hashem should help us to be able to have this connection to be able to recognize learn the story of the month learn the amazing lesson of the month recognize the expansion that's possible that's 60 amis that number 60 which represents the expansion it's we can touch that we can get to that how do we get there in the unique way which belongs only to army sorel tough times buckle down look up thank you so much for listening a wonderful shamas this podcast was made possible
