What is meant in the verse when it says to command the Israelites to let them out of Egypt? Why are they being commanded at this time for something that will not be practical for another 54 years? Why is the idea of releasing one's Israelite slaves during Shmitah so much more severe because it was commanded at the point of leaving Egypt? How can we take moments of inspiration and hold on to them for ourselves? Find out in this week's Parsha Podcast.

listening to the weekly partial podcast
with our gold leg recorded with a
showman's never-ending assistance in
roma beit shemesh israel 57 at2020
this week's purchase part is evaluate
Valera and we had the Jewish people
about to make their way out of Egypt the
ten plagues are going on and the Torah
gives us a description of the
commandments that were given to the
Jewish people some of them when we look
at the commitments that were given they
seem to be appropriate commandment to
bring the carbon pace off a special
sacrifice recognizing how a Shem passed
over the houses of the Jewish people or
the commandments that were involved with
leaving Egypt the matzah etc all the
things that are going on it's very
interesting there's a mitzvah within
this story that seems to be out of place
when ClimaCool Levites points it out and
it gives us an amazing explanation based
on the fact that this Mitzvah is here
sounds like this this is in chapter 6
verse 13 my rational emotional RN God
spoke to Moses in Arab Aaron writes a
vein of an arrow the LPL melt when I'm
Lloyd see it's been a spell merits
what's right the Torah tells us that
there isn't there is a command he was
commanded to tell the people of Israel
and Pharaoh that there's an obligation
to let the Jews out of Egypt to let them
go free
Oh parashu bearish ami amazing thing
there's an obvious question here you
have to command the Jewish people to let
out the Jewish people it doesn't seem to
make sense right so you show me says an
amazing shot in you know my Russia
Xinhua says often that when we read am a
Jewish or read a Gomorrah and it seems
to be that that's not the simple
understanding of the verse but many
times the Meldrick is pointing something
out that there's something that needs
explanation on the verse that if you
look at the simple shot look at the
simple explanation there's something
there's something off is something that
needs explanation so here there's a the
plastic says something strange it says
said moshe commanded the jewish people
to let them go what is it talking about
do you
Shami says oh my be sure maurice
bucaille mots even while parshas Shelia
have on him
there was a commandment right here at
this moment Oh show me rosh hashanah
chapter three Mishnah hey hello hey
there was a commandment at this moment
so do you show me that when the Jewish
people get to the Land of Israel if they
have Jewish slaves they're obligated to
free those slaves so that's what Moshe
was saying to the Jewish people Hashem
was saying to Moshe to command the
Jewish people to let their slaves go
free just like in Egypt the Pharaoh is
supposed to let the Jewish people go out
especially the Jewish people will have
to let them go out later on we may come
a force will be Romeo we find an
explicit verse in Jeremiah chapter 34
verses 13 and 14 crashing okay Israel
this is what the God of Israel says a
knife he karate briefs is how I saved
him me I meet CI somebody try me base
about anymore I made a I made a covenant
with with your forefathers with your
ancestors as they left Egypt in case she
ever shown in to show who ishizaki for
every just very interesting the passage
says explicitly that there was a command
to the Jewish people as they were
leaving Egypt that day also when the
appropriate time comes to release their
Jewish slaves which is as shmita
approaches whereas the evil as the evil
approaches both of them they are to do
so they are to release their slaves
Croesus bris McKenna's high seriousness
Ryan says reply Miletus there was a
special comment that was made at the
point of time when the Jews left Egypt
mitzvahs Cholewa have it every when it
came in regards to the mitzvot the
obligation letting out one's Jewish
slave the ashes burn in my talents
alamut's is a boy Sasha we used to think
about it what is the idea why is it that
the Jewish people were given an
obligation as they're leaving Egypt that
in the future time
who's gonna say how far in the future it
is in the future time there's gonna be
an obligation on you to free our slaves
ramus is evident a haggis
medieval Mike when is it possible Devon
ever degree only when the Jewish people
are living in Israel and there's a midst
of evil now you have alone oh gosh
indifference to the heretical kueh did
it was only possible to have you IVA
when the Jewish people went into Israel
and split up the Land of Israel which
was gonna be another 54 years after this
forty years in the wilderness 14 years
of key bush in cane max Amla hoc team it
says I heard of name an entire why is it
Tara
giving us this mitzvah before we even
get the Taira usually beloved scene
should style if native element mrs.
Shinigami yakima shelf 11 we find it
there are a few misses that are given
right away even before the tour is given
for example mr. Shabbos certain things
needed to be done right away so
therefore the myths was given right away
but this doesn't seem to be something
that needs to be done right away in fact
it's not give me enough another 54 years
why is this mitzvah being given now at
this point as the Jewish people are
leaving Egypt oh you know maybe you
shall me
furthermore it says Neosho Nastya this
is the you show me which says this idea
I see that I see kajita our of HeLa this
comes out like that which raffia said
Lynette Rafael Allah partial she'll have
on him amazing thing why were the Jewish
people punished and soon we'll see what
they were punished for what were they
why were they punished the Jewish people
received a negative repercussions as a
result of the fact that they didn't let
out their their Jewish slaves Clara
mayor Shalom it says a regime in Tsavo
OBM say something that's right since the
Jewish people were commanded about this
as they left Egypt la Haine nan Chu ll
share our comments to cetera very
interesting they had a commitment at
this time because of the fact that they
got this commitment at this time as they
left Egypt so there was something here
that was a deeper sin a greater problem
that they didn't fulfill its mitzvot of
letting out their slaves commercial cost
of another mio like the plastic says in
Jeremiah kinda Shelly Carolyn I think
karate reason was enemy and might seize
oyster merit strongly based upon anymore
Hashem said as we the verse we quoted
before I made a covenant with you when
you left Egypt and I
- you mean Kate chef Ashanti who you
should suck leave out every you need to
let out your slave at the end of every
seven years six years seven years to let
out your slave let him go free your
Jewish slave I think kind of a shame I
tell my schemata me like the creditor
are you should have the garment this is
why I Shem says you didn't let out your
slaves and therefore you is going to be
a tremendous repercussions
so mrs. Berman axiom says from concha
Levites we see an amazing thing his
heirs had godless high stylish al-shibh
it limits to Zoe we see that the reason
of the Jewish people lost out they were
sent into exile why this is talking
about after the first base I'm ENGLISH I
believe why it was because they didn't
send out their slaves she came in and
and interestingly the way the Cazale
referred to the fact that were sent into
exile is that we become a Shuba to the
home asylum we become enslaved to the
nations of the world so we don't have
freedom because we didn't give freedom
to our slaves so neither can I get me
the measure for measure we become
enslaved to the asylum to the nations of
the world check a machinist costume it's
a psychopath auditions thought we'd see
some use crime the to all that yes sir
so he so he says again he he underscores
the fact that since this mitzvah was
given at what point in time as they're
leaving Egypt it's a much more heinous
crime that they haven't fulfilled the
commandment of letting their slaves go
the goof itself mere sister crime we
need to understand this now a physic
should not tell you they had Siva wish a
serious crime what is the idea that
because this is commandment at this it
was commanded at this point in time as
they're leaving Egypt therefore it's a
much stronger power more powerful
command
aimed I let's avoid some a missile what
am i smilin Tyra
couldn't they also be commanded I'm
sorry couldn't they also be commanded in
the mid sir of at the time of my entire
giving a Tyra be I'm a nice governor
shall never Darcy I at the time this
awesome time when everyone sees a
college bar who you know unbelievable
revelation 1.2 million people plus why
why what's the significance of the fact
this
was given right at this time at this
point in history and why is that making
so much more powerful and so much more
such a terrible thing that the Jewish
people didn't fulfill it properly and
Lukaku you were my child for him so
they're kind an amazing thing an awesome
sight an awesome foundational idea cuz
she gun will Adam Ashley a clue who she
is about of esquina neva Molly it's very
hard for a person to release his slave
this is you know what does the idea of a
slave Ian we're talking about a Jewish
something we're not talking about
I never Kanani we're talking about
specifically a person who for whatever
reason he sold himself in this slavery
and so I own this guy he's my slave
whatever I say he does he was desperate
he had to he had no choice with this
some stuff into slavery and now he's
mine he belongs to me I say go fetch my
slippers he fetches my slippers I say
bring me a cup of coffee he brings it I
say to him go work go out in the fields
and work he doesn't he does whatever
he's he's he belongs to me okay and he
works for me he's an extension of me in
a certain sense since the idea of kenyon
aqui na shisha levad Camilla Harris
right he belongs the same even though
the the slaves so much wants to go free
boil as she would covered Olivier sir
it's a it's a very difficult and heavy
yoke that's upon him you know other
mortgage my house is the the master
doesn't feel that's not it's not his
interest the the master owns this slave
so it's very hard for the owner to let
the guy go out free
okay nystagmus is a dark abyss sure sure
you also ask me some of them he's lays
down an awesome thing the Jewish people
were commanded to release their own
slaves at which point when they
themselves were slaves and they
themselves were experiencing the glory
the awesome experience of being freed
from slavery
Bokashi are given a choise simcha Sahara
Sigonella when they themselves felt in
themselves in their souls the awesome
joy of being released into freedom I
said shush
here me odyssic Harris machine a guru
may have failed or god--all that moment
when they were freed from slavery into
freedom from from enslavement to
Redemption from darkness to light here
shock Shara
Varela Hargesheimer hated a Satsuma
alien this is the moment that they need
to hear the very difficult obligation
that they're going to have in the future
time which is to release their slaves
should I hate it okay we read that me
Kate Shelley - cool ishizaki send away
your brother send away your brother can
you tell me about tell me that - miss
nefesh I gear like the verse tells us in
SH my stuff get mo tests there's an
obligation when it comes to game room
converts to Julia's and there's they're
there
strangers they're called the gars the
word guerre means a stranger you should
love this stranger you should love to
gear the convert it's an obligation on
us to take care of the person who feels
uncomfortable
who feels out of place who's joined our
ranks and become a Jew who's gone
through that tremendously difficult
process and become one of us we have an
obligation to draw him in to hug him to
love him why so tacky game I used to be
Esther it's not because you were
strangers in Egypt you know the feeling
you know what it's like to be a stranger
in a strange land and therefore you need
to make sure that you take care of those
who feel estranged those who feel like
they're not part of you need to make
them feel part of the same way we need
the obligation the tire specifically
gave us the obligation to release our
slaves when when we ourselves were
released from Egypt because that's the
point that we can get into the minds and
the hearts of the people who need to be
released I can only assume are Kalahari
Gaga doll shows simcha very true support
con if they would have been obligated if
they were in told at our scene I the
obligation to let their slaves go free
instead of being told at this
exhilarating moment of them being freed
to share our gosh
you hulking mr. Louie Tom when their
feelings would have cooled down slowly
like I some it's when the fastest
epsilonkl right so the missile would not
have been imbibed into them as is
appropriate they wouldn't have gotten
the message in the same way
mikay mission estaba la Loba Shaw trial
even birtwick leash Maria Sam I saw a
gorilla show she loved me since the
commandment was given at a time when
their hearts were open to receive that
command he blew a lame belief Shalom
they were able to accept it upon
themselves with a full heart they're
gonna do it they're gonna do it vodka
Bella has ice rila she'll like Thomas
means if you like this kind of memory
this kind of experience this kind of
command given at such a time that will
never be forgotten that command at that
moment is embedded is etched into their
memory not just for them but for their
children and their grandchildren who
didn't experience it it's an amazing
thing he's gonna talk about it and
enough will read it inside but we will
try to expand on it amazing
Val Kabbalah Zeiss right okay we said
that after Akasha ricksha head of aromas
your movie Yahoo yeah after person has
come down from that high that awesome
exhilarating experience he was able to
hold on to it because it was it was
rooted it was it was anchored is the
good word it was anchored in something
powerful and a powerful experience
okay and watch via camera ahaha Darius
Robin and that's why when the tyro wants
to give us a reason why the Jewish
people wanted to go they went into exile
they became enslaved as we said to the
Messiah with donations of the world
what is the reason why it's because they
forgot they let go of that which was
anchored in their hearts the obligation
to recognize that a slave needs to be
freed out of their own experience Kazuko
nets official recognizes iris the
Cabela's ham mitzvah believe Shalom /
may Allah been Ladera Darris he says
something awesome listen to this this is
so powerful and this is something which
each and every one of us can take can
take it's an awesome tool in rockness
he says that when a person has an
experience a personal powerful
experience and within that personal
powerful experience a commitment is made
to take a certain action to act in a
certain way a person Lahab de let's say
a person goes through a very difficult
situation maybe it's a family situation
maybe it's an attack of some sort Adam
forbid and they decide you know this
happened to me I will never let it
happen to somebody else and they go on a
sorry to use the word a crusade they go
on a it becomes their their thing it
becomes their modus operandi that's not
really the right word but it becomes the
thing that's important to them that
they're not going to let this happen to
somebody else because they experienced
it now what are the kids what are the
children of that person see this is
something important to my father this is
only importance of my mother this is
something that's important in life and
it becomes embedded in the person's life
obviously and in the children's life you
know a family Michael's family Jerusalem
I know some of the children our
neighbors and friends of mine that
family is a family of cressid every
Friday night to this day for years for
decades I think there's their house is
full of literally tens and tens of
guests forty fifty guests every Friday
night unbelievable amount of Hesed being
done there and you can see in their
children in their offspring that that is
something which is is embedded within
that man it's important to them
and it's something that they live with
in the same way when a person has a
great experience an awesome experience
experience of Google of redemption that
experience has there's an opportunity
with an experience to take it at hold on
to a grab on to it and make a commitment
a powerful commitment that will last
forever
Ferrari at mush I'm gonna tell you about
tell me anata mr. Garak Gary Sinise was
trying a believable thing
even though which attire says that you
know the soul of the stranger you know
the soul of the convert you know how it
feels why because you were a stranger in
a strange land
you were the reject in society you know
what it means why and I want to tell you
a secret and we all know this in our
hearts you know why the Jewish people
are so gung-ho about saving the world
even if they're not religious you know
why they're so involved in every cause
on the planet it's because we are
oppressed the Jewish people are
oppressed and we don't want to see that
happen to anybody else we don't want to
see that happen to anybody else we never
forget the fact that we are strangers in
a strange land and he says lightly I see
mr. Novotny Morrall on eleven in our I
love when the commandment was given in
the Taira
you need to take care of the gear you
take care of the the convert the
stranger the person who's coming into
your society from the outside because
you know what that's like it wasn't just
said to the people who actually left
Egypt it was said to their children it
was said to us even though we didn't
experience that experience of being a
stranger in a strange land but we still
have it embedded in our genes that we
can relate to somebody else who's a
stranger we can relate to somebody who's
downtrodden we can relate to somebody
who doesn't have the opportunities that
others have it's an amazing thing now
I don't want to go I mean I do but I
don't feel like I have enough time to go
into it at length and bring all of the
different examples that he says here
I'll just pull out one example that he
says he says one example of poly bin
lash multiband lash was married to the
daughter of sha sha lamella King Saul to
Tamara
now the thing was party van lash knew
that she had been betrothed before this
to Kingdom to King David the devil amela
there was a whole story there was a
whole reason shell backed out
but palliative and lash was then married
to her and he was married her for many
years I think a decade not sure exactly
how long and he never touched her he
never had relations with her
why because he knew that she was already
betrothed to a different man and he
obviously there was a reason why I had
to stay with her because of Shalom Alex
had given it to him and etc there's a
whole there's a whole reason why it had
to happen but he took he did an amazing
thing how did he prevent himself can you
imagine living with another person and
not touching them never touching them
he took a sword says huzzah he took a
sword and he stuck that sword in the
middle of the bed between him and his
wife and and he said if I ever touch her
I'm gonna I'm gonna take this sword and
use it on myself amazing statement he
had you know it's not so easy person
sometimes has a challenge and when the
challenge is there over and over and
over again it's it's natural to fall
it's natural to be just to be subdued by
the challenge positive and light she
didn't allow himself to be subdued by
the challenge how did he overcome it at
the beginning when he was strong you
knew it's not the right thing he took a
sword he made a symbol for himself he
stuck it into the bend he said I will
not do this sin I will not touch this
woman and because of that he was able
because he was inspired at the beginning
he was able to continue to remain
inspired and to control himself and to
do what was right
this is her kind that's that's the
amazing power of an inspirational moment
and he and he finishes it off and I want
to read the ending because it's very
important also but hey na na na no ni
aru sag Adela chakras ah be cool on a
hot solo the Maha Maha Rani is talking
this is not long after the Six Day War
