Rabbi Shlomo Katz - How to Leave the Egypt Within Ourselves

friends as long as you can tolerate something as painful as it may be you'll still be able to handle it and you won't ask for it to stop the hebrew word for suffering is seville but seville also means to tolerate something i could tolerate it i could take it i could stand it i could handle it well the first level of redemption the first language from the four languages of redemption is the hotseti god is going to take us out take us out of what the hotseti mitzrayim the world of the gerhasidic dynasty as well as the ishbitsa hasidic dynasty they speak about this concept quite at length and they explain that hashem almighty is letting us know i could take you out of a million egypts but as long as you're willing to still tolerate it and handle it and you've accustomed yourself to just living with tolerating a certain level of exile you could never leave you could never get out the first level of redemption is when we come to the conclusion that we're not willing to tolerate it anymore we're not willing to tolerate being disconnected from our own shamans we're not willing to tolerate going to synagogues going to and just going through the motions we're done with that that is the first level of redemption may we all be privileged to have enough of tolerating any little egypt that's still in our life good shabbos [Music]
