Hashem Loves Us - Rabbi Yamin Goldsmith

of parashat azinu is a poem it's a song delivered by moshe rabbenu it's a nivua of what is going to happen to bene israel god willing the good and god forbid the bad until the end of time and part of this navwa part of this prophecy in our parasha is this it's in perik lamit bet and it's pasuk mem ki essa el shamayim yadi via marti hai i lift my hand to heaven and say i am life forever i will live forever i am life forever and rashii of itsaki that this is a promise it's an oath from hashem from hashem himself hashem is the one who is lifting his hand so to speak to take this oath a promise from hashem that the will come and we see similar language in sephora daniel we see it and say fair shemot hashem says i promise the ula will come there is a safer called shivatsion written by rav avraham yaakov slutsky it was written in 1891 and it's a collection of articles by godole godoli torah of that time and the topic is besheva yeshuv erit israel about the incredible value of living in israel and in that book there is an essay by the nazi ravnaf talitzvi yehuda berlin the great reshishiva of valajian he died at the end of the 19th century and there in that essay he wrote an essay called aharit kibraishit and in that essay on page 18 then it's eve says he quotes our pasuk hashem's promise and then it's eve says that our job is to believe in hashem our job is to believe in hashem that he will keep his promise and the promise that we hear about throughout tanach and the promise that we hear in our in our parsha ki essayal shamayim yadi via marty and then it's eve continues and he says that even if the geulah does not seem to appear the way we think it will appear we think it is going to appear one way and it appears another way it appears different differently than we expected says then it's eve not to worry and i'm quoting then it's eve there's no reason to be extra wise so to speak to out think hashem so to speak to say no no i know how the gula is supposed to look and it doesn't look like this no says the native hashem promised that kaula will come with a promise he lifted his hands so to speak to shamayim we must believe it we must wait for it we must embrace it when it comes even if it doesn't look the way we think it's going to look that's the way the goola happened in its rhyme says that it's eve he says that the israel and mitsrayam never heard of moshe rabbenu he lived in mid young they thought the gerula was going to come through our own they knew our own they didn't know moshe no the hula came a different way it's okay but the geolo will not necessarily come the way we expect it to says then it's eve rather hashem promises it will come in whatever form and whatever process hashem desires and that is what we wait for and nowadays some people look around israel and they say yes of course there are tons of people making aliyah yes and there are tons of men and women who are learning toran air to israel yes like never before and there are flourishing businesses and construction and imports and exports yes it's all happening but the gala can't look like this that's what people say but the native says we don't know exactly what it's going to look like embrace it help build it help make it a reality that's our job hashem made a promise and we believe it will happen
