מוסקט # פסח: חג החירות EN

[Music] shalom it's nice to have another opportunity to share some Tor about the upcoming of on a regular BAS would visit Jews from the underground that were held in British prisons before the establishment of the state on shabas when he visited the prison he asked them how Leed went they told him rabi on one hand is very uplifting to the matah to drink the wine just one problem the is when one says one lifts the cup of wine and opens the door we lifted the cup of wine but weren't able to open the door it's hard to feel when being locked up in prison told them you have a mistake PES is not just celebrating our physical Freedom PES is celebrating also our spiritual Freedom our closeness to God that's something which one is able to feel even when he's in prison what I take from this story is that pesak is not only celebrating our leaving Egypt but also learning some of the lessons that could be learned from the story ofas I'd like to focus on one aspect on one lesson that could be learned from our Exodus from MIT r in the beginning of the ofer discusses why is it that the Torah emphasizes so many times the story of the explanation which He suggests is the following we know that the Jewish people's going through a very long aalas and when one sees the difficult situation which Jewish people is in one could lose hope one could ask himself things don't always seem like they're moving in the right direction is there any way we'll ever be able to get out of this mess the answer to that says sadon is by looking back at the story of MIT also then the Jewish people was in a very bad way also then it didn't look like there was any future but nevertheless light the fact that promised that so promised and he fulfilled his promise so certainly if that was true of the Gus in the past you have good reason excellent reason to assume that that will also be true of our present Gus after all with respect to the Future Redemption promised a lot more than just lot more than so if when he promised so little delivered so much took us out of gave us the man gave us the Torah brought us into certainly respect to the Future Redemption that in be are full of all sorts of wonderful promises we have excellent reason to assume that will fulfill those promises and thus remembering helps us survive the difficult times we need to go through and gives us the confidence for a brighter future this of course also the the message of the that we're all familiar with of being says that we're meant to not be mik in between the bra of G and the and our what's the importance of being explain that the of course is when we focus on gas right after we remember to remember that provides for us not only provides for us not only in the past but also in the present as well and thus right after we speak of the N which performed for us in redeeming us from MIT we're meant to ask him for more ask him to also help us in the present concerning this I heard a very beautiful idea from my brother Mr Alan fredman he suggested the following we We Begin our with the words El Abraham elov why is this so this phrase is one which appears quite a number of times three four times inos when reveals himself to mosu and tells Moshe to go to the Jewish people to tell them that Redemption is coming soon uses that phrase what's the significance of our borrowing that phrase from paros in he suggested the following when appears to mosu at the beginning of the par tells him about the Redemption this is coming after a lengthy period when there was no n given to the Jewish people during the times of the AOS appeared to them on somewhat of a regular basis but now was about 200 years close to 200 years that didn't communicate with cl Israel one might think that's all over God's concern for the Jewish people is no longer there but nevertheless tells mosu Abraham just as I was with the forefathers my intention is to bring my intention is to redeem the children as well and thus beginning of sh we remind ourselves that even if we're going through a difficult time even if we can feel that God is there but we know that is with us even if we can't always feel his presence is always there always ready just to take this a little bit more of a personal level each and every one of us has difficult times he goes through one of the ways of our gaining in these difficult times is by remembering that also in the past each and every one of us had experiences which weren't so easy for us each and one each and every one of us had times when we needed pulled through for us so when we go through difficult times we should remind ourselves just redeemed Us in the past just like helped me in the past you have good reason to assume they'll do so in the future as well a story is told of a ofua that had some business but wasn't didn't earn enough money to pay the PES the land owner and the P was getting quite upset in fact the part sent some kak to go and break his furniture to break down part of his house and the Jew was destroyed he didn't know what to do that chabas the Jew went and heard Thea the shabas and the reab DAR that we have two bras which are quite similar we have the bra of is the bra that we say before the that we say on P night of go is and the past go and the present so just as each and every day said the rebi even if there's a Jew that has to deal with the difficult Parts doesn't know he's going to pay his bills he has good reason to assume that be will help him out the heard that he went home and started dancing go go you go you all the people in the town gathered around even the parts gathered around he he didn't know what was happening he asked what exactly is this all about and jeu explained to him the parts was so impressed by the ver of the rebbi that he forgave him for the debt and let him continue in his business I can't vouch for the truth of the story but we can vouch for the lesson behind it may we be this P to feel the true May presence all the best
