Leaving The Door Open To Ourselves - Rabbi Reuven Taragin

in this week's parasha we make the transition from the makot to Yeti adminster a long-awaited moment when the Jewish people are going to leave its name that transition begins after Makar when Hashem tells Moshe a young Hashem available and of course motion knows what the last Makkah is even though Hashem doesn't specify because already impression Hashem told him that the story would end with and he explained significance of the marker Israel the Jews are my buhar a few the Egyptians won't free my Bahar then I'm going to kill all of you even though that was mentioned in passage mode we have to wait till party till we're finally ready for it and the question I'd like to ask why does why were there so many Mako up to that point and then suddenly before why not more Maka why not less Mako why specifically now I think there are three answers to this question the first and maybe the one that's generally assumed is that they were meant to be 10 Marco that was the initial plan which Maca has its own significance its group its message and this was the time for MacArthur because makapako was meant to be the 10th Marco aftermarket closure the second answer is that the whole process of the Mako was only necessary because the Jews did not yet have the faith to fulfill the midst of carbon pesach which was necessary for Market to take place I believe though that there's a third possible answer and that third possible answer has to do with something that happened maybe would happen now because of Pyro's reaction to makatosha if you look the end of pericud right before Hashem tells Moshe about pirate Hotel of motion get out he shall merlacha be careful Al Joseph wrote Panay don't come to see me again because on the day you see my face again you will die moshe's response is mature stoic but just as clear candy bar to so you spoke I won't see you again the very next person the very next person it's time for the last Maka maybe it became time for the last Maka because pyro is so emphatic when closing the door Hashem knows that pyro is not going to give in Hashem is keeping him from giving in life but as long as Paro is willing to see it here there's still hope for him still hope he might be flexible and the final blow the punishment is stayed when pyro closes the door in motion he closes the door on his own potential for Change and that's when lives and we see this throughout the Navy Kings who are calcitrients who refuse to listen to the Naveen the biggest punishments arrive when the medus refuses to listen to hear to give an audience to the nothing you are not interested in hearing there's nothing more to speak to you about the lesson here is obvious we all have problems in our lives we all make mistakes and unfortunately the muscle we should be internalizing and the people whose messages we should be living by we don't always internalize and heed properly but as long as the door is open to listening to hearing to reflection Hashem continues to communicate with us in the hope that we'll listen and he gives us chance after chance when we refuse to give entree to those who want to teach us the right direction that's when we endanger ourselves we leave ourselves open to the worst Mako to the final blows let's make sure that we leave the doors to our own future potential change open by leaving the doors to other people who can impact US Open if we leave the door open to them we leave the door open to ourselves and Hashem leaves the door open to us as well foreign
