Bitachon 187 - Israel Starts as the West Ends
687 views
We continue our study together in chapter 71 of Tehillim, now moving on to pesukim 5 and 6. Here Dovid Hamelech speaks of the faith he had starting as a small child, which parallels the faith of the Jewish people as they are in their infancy, developing as a nation in Egypt. This faith sustains us until the end of time where the people of Israel rise on the 'heels,' or the ultimate downfall of the world of Esav - the West.

in a little bit on the PUK in
between says
the first P we're going to speak about
here today there's two in a
row says You Are My Hope
hasim written
Al elim written so we have really three
powerful names of Hashem
here
Hashem the king Hashem the master
Hashem transend in god elim king of
judgment you all aspects that I interact
with you
through I trust in
you you are the one who I trusted in
from my youth and this is going to be
the theme today that D speaks of the
fact that there was a certain
innocence that he had when he was young
there's a certain innocence I will will
add that each of us has When We're Young
we trust we have our parents we don't
have too many problems our needs are not
so great our needs are fulfilled we need
food we need
love there's a sense of having
everything that I need when I'm
young and as it were is looking back at
his Youth and saying I had
this and I continued to have faith in
you Hashem since I was young
the next p says I depended on you I
leaned on you Hashem from when I was
inside of my mother's
womb you took me out of there you took
me out of the womb which means from
being in a state of perfect of
perfection of of being taken care of
perfectly I didn't even have to eat when
I was inside of my mother's womb I
didn't have any everything was
just naturally provided
for so even though you took me out of
there in a certain sense now I have new
needs need to eat need to be provided
for ETC it's not just flowing
in but still I've always trusted you
from that time even when I was in that
state where everything was given to me I
still trusted you
and my praise is for you constantly
that's what says
beautiful
says please be for
me a rock a place that I can come to
constantly you commanded that I be saved
for you are my rock you are my
Fortress my God release me from the
hands of the evil ones from the palm of
the
twisted
and means vinegar someone who's gone off
and done what's wrong wine that becomes
vinegar loses its taste loses its value
save me from someone who's lost his
value who's lost his
values
says
explains be for meem a rock a place that
I can find my Abode
beus even though I'm in
Exile love a place I can always come to
where is the place that I can always go
even if I'm in Exile even if I'm in EX
in
Gus I can always come to the place of
worship of Hashem I can always come to
the Bas kessis the synagogue where I can
pray and ask hem for my
needs let my prayer be for me a great
tower of strength
King Solomon
says there's a great Fortress of power a
great
tower which is the name of Hashem the
name of hasem protects me because I call
out to Hashem I DAV I
pray
says says in in Joel 3 ver vers five
whoever calls out to hasem will be
saved the PK
says that there are two there are two
people mentioned here there are two
enemies that David wants to be saved
from the one is ma the Twisted
one says the med that's a reference to
isma the Arab
Nations save me from them
what's the vinegar the wine that was
once so tasty and so good but became
vinegar it was
spoiled this is a reference to Adam to
asov to the west to Europe to
America that the decrees that they
decreed upon me to try to prevent me
from keeping the Tyra or I would add for
today the the fact that they're so that
we end up in assimilation with them we
end up trusting
them but those are as bad as disgusting
as difficult as
vinegar here we we come toim you Hashem
Are My Hope you Hashem are the one who
I've trusted in from my
youth it means as a nation all the way
back the times of ab is and Abraham
Isaac and Jacob we trusted in
you I I leaned upon you when I was in
the womb says the medish what's the womb
of
Isel it's a reference to the place where
Amel developed we went from 70 people
Yakov and his 12 sons and their families
to a huge Nation 600 00,000 men 600,000
women and
children unbelievable that was the place
where am Isel was inside of the womb as
it
were and there we had to trust in
Hashem excuse me in that place where par
decreed that every child every son who
is born will be thrown in the
river still I trusted in
excuse me you took me
out you took me out you removed me from
the
womb took me out of
Egypt it's an amazing thing we didn't
assimilate we didn't become part of that
that
Society am Isel retained its identity
and was able to get out of there in one
piece
you took us
out afterwards
say that or after AR that we're
discussing it speaks about the fact
that I was a symbol for
[Music]
everybody why have how do we know that
all of these Miracles were done what
were they done
for first of all everyone will see this
all the nations of the world see the
amazing way that Hashem removes us from
Egypt and I will add and the way Hashem
is currently bringing us out of Exile
and Performing miracles for us
unprecedented military M Miracles right
here in Isel every day it's so
commonplace that it's not we don't even
take note it's not even from Front Page
News maybe it is front page
news but the the the the
amazing example that Amel
is for what it means to be a nation of
Hashem hasem takes care of
us you are the one who is my strength my
protective
strength that's our say
maybe it says it again later but my
mouth is constantly filled with your
praise I can look back through history
and we've spoken about the idea that one
of the
tools of serving Hashem
having is recognizing and
remembering how Hashem has helped me in
the past and knowing and and getting
into that space hey I had Bak once and
it worked it helped I had that
confidence and I felt that Hashem indeed
came through for
me strengthening myself in that way is a
powerful tool is doing this and does
this says the
Forno again he tells us that it's
talking about when we were back in
Egypt that was called the days of our
youth
says that it refers to am Israel's
sojourn in Egypt as the time of our
youth right we had all the way back
then and when we were in the
womb we put our Reliance upon hem s
how did theim the righteous individuals
in Egypt how did they face the
difficulties the challenges of Egypt
Israel was downtrodden
beaten
enslaved how did they respond they
responded with prayer
we were like we were as it were inside
of the womb of our mother we were
engulfed in darkness like a like a fetus
inside of its mother's
womb says you took us out it's
interesting language it means to take
out Mal says it
means which means to
cut right when when you you shear the
Sheep you remove the wool from the Sheep
you take it out you take it
off
so the S says it means that he took us
out
quickly the end of the PK is your praise
is constant for me I'm always praising
you it means to say that my prayers were
that I want you to be my God my prayers
were amel's prayers the righteous
individuals prayers were Hashem take us
out of here take us out of the place of
gulus of of Darkness of
godlessness and bring us to the point
and the place where you become Our God
where you take care of
us the
says this is my God and I will glorify
him God of my father and I will raise
him up that's the sorno
in a similar
vein hints to the beginning of the
Exile I depended upon you from when I
was inside of the
womb it's giving us an analogy and
saying for us telling us that trusted
hasem trusted in hem from the be very
beginning of time from the be very
beginning of our existence as a
nation analogy
continues it means to say you take me
out of there you detach me from
there just thinking like you know we're
in a gus somewhere more deeply in gullis
if you're
in the the influence of the Nations is
much stronger
it's much harder to be separated and and
removed from their
culture HS Israel it's somewhat
easier we have huge beautiful
communities of FR
people unbelievable but even here
there's a sense of gulus we're not yet
in the full state of redemption we're
getting
there but we need to remove ourselves
from that is saying we we existed in
that place it's so much harder to be
connected to Hashem in that place but
still am
Israel's ability our unique
talent is entrusting in Hashem despite
the Exile despite the darkness despite
the sense of
Detachment interestingly the here say
say you removed me from there in another
place it
says it means that you drew me out of
there and both of them indicate the fact
that takes us out from Darkness to
light right imagine the child the
experience of the baby as it comes out
of that dark dark place inside of its
mother and all of a sudden it sees the
whole world there's light there's color
there's
love more clearly sensed love clearly
seen the idea here is that even from the
very beginning of the difficult
situations that Amel finds itself in or
that the individual finds itself
in the tool that we always had at our
disposal and we always always made use
of is the tool of of trusting in
hem he brings here from
the it means to say that
this was the promise that you
made we had recently in the
par when never the voice is the voice of
Jacob right y says to his son yob when
he comes in and he pretends to be as in
order to get the in order to get the the
blessings excuse me so yes says the
voice is the voice of yov but the hands
are the hands of
as set as long as our voice is the voice
of Jacob
which means that you hear the constant
ringing the constant tweeting of amel's
power which is we're daving we're in the
Sho we're in the synagogue our phones
are
off there's no ringing of our phones
there's no beeping and
dinging the dinging and beeping and
ringing is coming from us it's coming
from the sounds of our
prayers and the ring ining and the and
the the constant
tweeting that's going on that sound of
the birds that sound of of
song it's the sound of our Tyra so
then the hands of Asa have no power over
us if Amel is learning strong if Amel is
praying strong if the words that come
out of the mouth of the leader of Israel
are be
he consistently is saying that if those
are the words that we are
saying then is has no
power and this is like what it says in
the PK from the mouth of
children of those who
suckle right we we know thatas on
the the power of the of the learning and
the prayers of the children who the who
the breath the air of their
breath is not sullied by any
sin so the result
is has a foundation of
power so that if there are any enemies
who come and want to battle with us
the enemies are stopped in their
tracks they don't have any ability to
cause us any
damage that's what King David means when
he says that's so beautiful that's what
he means when he says Hashem is the one
I trusted from my youth when I was young
I had no sins I just had the power of
prayer I just had that youthful innocent
power of prayer and learning Torah
I will not fall in the hands of
as you can understand that when it says
that I trusted in you from the time that
I was in the
womb it could be referring to the fact
that
Yu as he came out as he was born as ASV
was born
Yakov was called Yakov because he was
holding on to the aave the heel of
asov
P this is this was indicative of the
fact that asov when it seems like he has
full power when it seems like finally
finally all the power has returned to
the great Kingdom of the of the West
the West has been made great
again at that moment said the at that
moment at the end that's when Yakov
holds on to his heel that's when Yakov
is grasping on the heal of
asov that's when Yakov will have the
ultimate power that's when we from the
beginning from the beginning from when
we were born from when these two great
Nations
were came out into the
world it was hinted to how it's going to
be in the
end is will rise in the Merit of
AR all along we had the we had the this
is what kept kept us strong despite all
of the xerus all of the decrees all of
the difficulties all of the
tarus ultimately the end of it all will
be am isel's incredible
thank you so much for listening see you
again next time
