Bo - Conversation with Moshiach
1,055 views
What does Hashem mean when he tells Moshe and the Jewish people that "This month [Nissan] is yours?" Why do the Jewish people respond to Moshe's announcement of the impending redemption with reasons why they should not be redeemed? What is behind Hashem's response, which is that He does not calculate things like them, that He looks at the good deeds of the righteous, and that He 'skips over' the Jewish people's sins of idolatry? How does this parallel the conversation the Jewish people will have with Moshiach when he arrives and announces that the final redemption is imminent? Find out in this week's Parsha Podcast.

you're listening to the weekly partial
podcast with Ari goldwag recorded with's
never running assistance in R Israel
2025 this week's para is par Bo and in
our
para the Jewish people experience the
incredible Miracles the final
plagues says to
MOS this is your month
son the month of pesak of
Passover the month of renewal the month
of the spring this is the month of am
Israel this is the time when am Israel
is finally going to be
redeemed and am Isel has gone through
tremendously difficult times 210 years
in Egypt 86 intense Years of
Slavery Amy cell's
downtrodden Amy's babies were thrown
into the
see
Isel is went through difficult times we
went through very very difficult times
and it's finally after months and months
and months of the
plagues came almost I believe a full
year
before after all of this Shem says this
is your month this is when you're
finally going to experience your
Redemption the M says that there is a
convers ation
between as it
were and the conversation goes like this
the M first brings
the this is your month this is when
you're going to be redeemed the meas
says we have a
in
says the voice of my beloved which is
Isel speaking of hashem's voice as it
were it's coming you hear it coming
you're standing on your Mesa you're
sitting in your living room and you hear
the voice of your beloved coming up the
steps coming down the down the
road is saying here it is we're getting
to the time of
redemption so the says a number of
places where we see as it were the voice
of hem is heard it's it's on its way and
yet there's a disbelief
there's a um there's a push back could
it really be can it really be the moment
of
redemption so the first the is that it's
referring to
M when MOS came to the Jewish people and
said to them this is your month now
you're going to be redeemed
they said to to our teacher
Moshe how can it be that we are going to
be
redeemed behold said to
Abraham that the Jewish people there was
a prophecy there was a prediction of not
a prediction a a a guarantee am is going
to be in in a Strange Land Strangers In
a Strange Land for 400 years years and
they're going to be enslaved
there says we only have 210 years we
didn't reach the the final time yet
we're not there yet you know how can you
say the Messiah is here already we're
not there yet we haven't reached that
time so
responds hasem wants to redeem you hasem
doesn't look at your doesn't look at
your calculations as to how long and
when it's going to
beem as the continuation of the p song
of songs and by the way the PK is in
chapter 2 verse 8 of
shirim he says hasem skips over the
mountains
measure says that when it says over
here the concept of mountains Skips from
Mountain to
Mountain it means it's referring to the
Kum and theim are set
times there are times in history that
could have been a moment of G had the
potential to be the time when hasm would
redeem us this is called Kim AES is an
end point
so Hashem says you think that the Endo
is the year 400 but I'll tell you this
this year 210 is also an end point if
you count
back from the birth of yak will count
the time that they were that yak from
from when he was born and they were
Strangers In a Strange Land is is er
Kanan itself didn't yet belong to am
Israel can count that way this could be
an end point soem Skips from from
Mountain to Mountain from end point to
end point and he says I'm going to skip
back I'm going to move things up it's
not a
problem says I'm gonna I'm gonna make it
work
out this is your
month this is your month which I'm just
thinking now as I'm reading it the
concept of this is your month also has
to do with am
Israel being involved in the Iber being
involved with adding extra months to the
year which has to do with it's
right and you can check out my M
podcasts where we spoke about what
happens in in a leap
year we spoke about 5784 which
was began with October 7th and it was a
leap year and it had a very special
power it's connected to this I'm not
going to get into it at
all another that has to do with we're
goingon to see there's a song you might
know we're going to see that it could be
referring to referring to our times but
in the first few is talking
about a similar idea when he says to
them mosha says to them this is the
month you're going to be redeemed
how can you say we're going to be
redeemed we don't have good
deeds we we're not we're not righteous
enough we've been slaves we can't focus
on spirituality we're not like the we're
not like
went we're not like yob who sat and
learned in the of Shame we're not we
don't have it
mosha responded said Hashem wants to
redeem you he doesn't he's not looking
at your actions your your mistakes he's
not looking
at is not looking at you he's looking at
theim he's looking at he's looking was
M's father he's looking at those who had
good deeds he is ignoring the negative
he's looking at the positive
the the mountains can also refer to the
to the courts to the Jewish courts to
those who are trying to help am Israel
do what's
right Hashem is like jumping from one
place to another meaning he's looking at
the good parts he's looking at the
righteousness he's looking at those who
are doing what's right in
is
refers to to the place where people
would go for Torah judgment for Torah
guidance as mountains soem bounces from
one mountain to the other he focuses on
the
good so this is a second understanding
AEM first first shot is I'm not looking
at your when it's supposed to be how
many years I'm going to make it work
second shot is I'm not looking at at the
fact that you don't you're not such
sadik I'm going to look at those who
aren sadikin for you
third
understanding they say how can you
redeem us we don't deserve it we're
idolators we are serving
idolatry
deserve the Egyptians serve idolatry the
Jews were serving idolatry how can you
Rus we have no relationship with you is
said the entire Egypt is is
dirtied from
the from the from the service that we
serve the
idols hem wants to redeem you he's not
looking at your
idolatry he JPS in this case not from
Mountain to Mountain but he jumps over
the mountains cuz the mountains as we'll
see mountains were the places where they
had the idolatrous
temples we find the says
in on the on the very high mountains was
where they would uh perform their
idolatry perform their service of
idolatry soem jumps over the mountain he
doesn't look at your
idolatry don't worry you're going to be
redeemed this is it this is the moment
this is the
month we're going to talk about mashia
very very shortly and we're going to
talk about us very shortly but just
think about it for a moment like I'm
saying we don't deserve it it's finally
the moment you've been waiting for you
know y told the brothers hem is going to
take us out of
here is gon to take you out
they had a prophecy they knew it was
going to happen they knew it was coming
they knew that there was going to be an
end point to their
suffering now he feels guilty we don't
deserve it we we recognize our
faults we recognize that our
relationship with is not such that he
should save us who are we we're
idolators we have no good
deeds the time is not yet
ripe says andem says no don't think of
it that way I can make it right if if I
determine that this is the time I'm
going to make it work I'm going to
figure it
out it sounds very much like you know a
couple who's in
love
say the love when a person's in love so
you don't notice the other person's
faults when a person has
an overwhelming feeling of Love towards
others think about your relationship
with your kids I don't know about you
but nobody's perfect but I feel like I I
don't I don't focus on the I try not to
focus on the faults of my kids I see the
beauty I see the specialness I see
the the amazing thing says the same
thing says I know I know you've made
mistakes I know you served idy I know
that you don't have as much mitz as
you'd like I know the time hasn't so to
speak come but I'm going to I'm going to
make it work I'm going to figure it
out saying it's time to start a new I
want to I want you to know the newness
the wordes which means the month this is
your month Nissan is your month Nissan
is the month of
newness of the grass is growing the the
flowers are blooming everything is
wonderful
I'm looking
past I'm I'm past the dark winter I'm
past all of the cold we're in the we're
in a new place today Hashem is saying to
am
Israel and it's important for us as we
think about who are we today Amel today
we're we're such sadik we can't figure
out how to love each
other half of more than half is not even
religious not has no connection to is
going to bring mashia to our generation
who are
we have have 2,000 years pass have we
reached the end point you don't even
know how long it's supposed to be they
at least had a prophecy of 400 years we
don't even know how long it's going to
be have we gotten there it's been so
long we we're the ones are going to see
mhia we're going to be the ones are
going to greet mhia the is going to come
down from the heavens in fire or maybe
we're supposed to build it and we're
going to be the ones to build it in this
Medina this secular state is going to
build a MD can it
be let's see the
answer have two
different two different understandings
of
this that is not until now we said it's
talking about it's talking about the
original the original Redemption of
is when the Jewish people was taken out
of
Egypt
but this is the king
Mia and I want to this is
a but this is also
a and there's a little slight change in
the language and I'm going to I'm going
to say the over in the language of theti
Mia's goingon to
come Mia's going to come hopefully
hopefully this
year and he's gonna
say ones he's gonna say this is your
month two weeks before PES he's going to
say this is your month this is when you
are to be
redeemed Mia's going to say this to
us
I'm and is going to
respond just like we said
to our
teacher with all due
respect our teacher mhia the king mashia
he's going to be I don't know as great
as M maybe greater I don't know exactly
he's going to be a navi he's going to be
a prophet he's going to be a
huge he's going to be an incredible
leader
says to him our teacher
King how can we be
redeemed now I'm reading from
the didm not
say that before msia comes I'm I'm
intentionally not I'm adding in words to
what the measure says did Hashem not say
that we're going to be enslaved to the
Nations and I'm adding today we're not
enslaved to the 70 Nations we have we
have our own
country we have our
own
land I'm youan still 7.7 million strong
is living here are we enslaved anybody
can come you don't have to stay in G you
don't have to stay in New York you don't
have to stay in California in Canada in
South Africa in Europe Australia can
come home you're not mid you're not
enslaved to the nations of the
world so am says maybe we don't deserve
it maybe we didn't you know you didn't
come yet until now maybe maybe we don't
uh maybe we don't have we haven't
fulfilled the full
enslavement maybe the fact that we have
back Israel now is taking away from it's
it's holding off
so MIA gives two answers to this
question there's two different gear here
one of them is britania which means
Britain it's a different
gear which means that if let's say
there's just one Jew left in Galos let's
say there's just one Jew in Britain one
Jew in America one Jew left in Iraq one
Jew left in
Australia as long as there's a Jew there
you are still it's considered that
you've
all you're all still in
Exile and that's all that we don't need
Jews to be we don't need everyone to be
in gas just having one there is enough
for for it to be considered that we're
all
there it's enough of his it's enough of
a pain it's enough of a a
sh of an
enslavement to be AAP for that he can
say yes now is the time you've you've
already fulfilled all of the conditions
that are necessary for you to experience
Mia and another another explanation and
again I'm explaining it based on the
conditions of today because the p here
is that it's talking about before am
Israel or or at a time when am Israel
never went
into uh Gus this Mish must have been
written before we were in gas because it
says it's saying we don't have we're not
M we're not enslaved to the 70 Nations
and obviously we have been for 2,000
years so I'm explaining it to me that
it's talking about now when were no
longer under their
boot well I'll tell you something
else and I'm again translating it for
today is affected by the you want to say
that we're in is we're back here and
we're no longer in Exile there's truth
to
that but at the same time there's
something called the UN
and in the UN one representative of each
of the 70 nations of the world gets up
and they all vote and they and they keep
on uh passing resolutions in the
security Council against one tiny
country over and over again it's called
Israel the Jewish
people says the Mish if even one leader
from one country anywhere is having a
negative impact on the Jews wherever
they
are if one representative of the kites
comes and
he's I consider it as if the entire
nation of of ktim is M us is is putting
us under his
boot so the it's an amazing thing what
comes out of this mes the United
Nations which has single representatives
of each country that's
it when they pass a resolution against
the Jewish people that
counts we can we can totally hear what
the mes is saying that counts as if we
are under their boots still Hashem
considers it he's saying it's considered
as if you've you are still under their
Boot and therefore don't
worry you have earned it you have earned
m you have earned Redemption you've
you've suffered you are
suffering you are suffering every time
they pass a negative resolution against
you you are
suffering despite the fact that it's not
the same as it once
was finishes
offia our teacher our
King our teacher
teacher
not he finishes off and
says this is your month this is your
time of G meaning Hashem says you can
make all your you can say all of your
reasons why you think you don't deserve
it you're maybe not a not good enough
maybe you're not from enough maybe am
Isel is is too far from
me and let's remember
everything that happened in the original
G everything that happened in the G the
Redemption from Egypt is is
applicable and iterates
reiterates in our times as we get closer
and closer to mhia which is so
close it's the same thing Isel is not
worthy
maybe it's not really the time maybe
and says don't give me any of your Mayes
I'm going to tell you the absolute the
absolute
is this is your month this is your
moment this is the time for renewal for
Isel and I'm going to make it
work okay maybe you're not M as much as
you were before I consider it I consider
it as if you are enslaved to the
Nations don't give me any kinds of don't
give me any kinds of calculations maybe
shouldn't come here maybe we're not good
enough I'm going to skip I'm going to
skip over the mountains I'm going to I'm
going to move mountains as it
were in order to be go in order to
redeem you that's what my relationship
with you looks like that's what is
saying to is it's very
encouraging it's very encouraging
because it's very easy to think who are
we
look at look at what's going on
throughout the world the challenges that
we are having the challenges in
Israel the country is is a secular
country after all is said and
done Jewish from boys want to sit and
learn they're going to be come
Outlaws it's not what we wish it's not
how we want it to be it doesn't look
like the way it should look and who's
who's to say that we deserve a real
Messiah to come who are we we're we're a
troubled
people says stop talking that way stop
talking that
way who says I love
you my beloved's voice is coming this is
the
time this is the voice this is the
response of mhia when he's going to
arrive he's going to tell us the way it
is doesn't want to look at all the
negative wants to look at the positive
wants to make it work and he's going to
make it work I want to bless you and ask
you to bless me should help us to have
the
insight to have the understanding of
what it means that is going to make it
work how much love he has for us how
much love he has for an imperfect people
and if it's true on a national level
it's also true on an individual level
who loves us so
much and we need to love who we are and
try our best to be the that who looks
at to try our best to
be the the
ones who indeed help bring Merit for
others but no matter what to know
that cares about us and also for us to
reflect that in our relationships with
others should help us to look
past the little things or even the big
things that we feel are not perhaps as
as much as we would like from our kids
from our friends our spouses and even
from our in our relationship with hm
hasm should help us to to to skip over
it to skip over it and in that matter
I'm sure that we will be able to have
this conversation to experience
ourselves a conversation
with mashia Ru mhia our teacher the king
