Maharal Shiur Parshas Va'era with Rabbi Simcha Bunim Berger at Scheiner's Shul

MS a person has a mitzvah to remember every single day. We have a responsibility. We have an opportunity. We have a mitzvah to remember mitzvara says that the next word after ms depending if it's day or night is either ms viv or ms. If you look at your handout over here you'll see take a look right in that section. This is a moral from it's >> is it both together or it's two separate things MS period and then either or >> look at the way it says it in the gimra it's going to answer your questions after you the mitzvah of the next word depending if it's day or night should either be ms or msar ms if you didn't if you didn't continue with your you didn't you're not which sounds like the of I have to be and what does this mean? Okay. What? And and by the way to just to uh just to focus for one second on what mayor said if you look in the right you know there's an inion of saying ra 245 248 excuse me 248 right it's only 245 right if we have to add >> where's the last word what's the last word of shaman It's not ems. We think it's not >> the last word of as if you look in parl where the paris was given it says let's see it's at the after period ms is one of the extra words and that comes with either ms vativ or depending if it's day or night. Okay. What's that? >> That's it without the >> So why do we pause and then we meaning and then we wait for the and then we say >> because we're missing three words. We want him to want him to say those words again because we only have 245 and we need three. That's why if there's nobody there you say when you're by yourself or according to one you say 15 times is 90 which is the gatria of so this way you get that's two different ways it's you're supposed to be mashim the three words that you're missing either the does it or you do it for yourself. Okay, you can only do it for yourself by either adding or doing the afterwards. That's the part. So, okay, you see it's such an ABC obvious thing in the mean if you look in the you see. So, MS is an added word. It's not part of the And now we're teaching me or my our tonight is going to be the Tonight is to tell you that these two concepts are mush in Makarda. The two concepts have the roots come from in the medish between but first of all what are they and then we'll come to that. So continuing in this middle piece, the is manag. >> What's that? >> Conducts. Conducts. That's right. He rules. He conducts. There's one of the who's and he's one. There's an underline. When the R every single day comes out right and are synonymous. First time it says is by the lightenu. One of his names was right because Moisha came from Batya the Egyptian right Shilas what his name was a Victor one was because and are synonymous because when a person's in darkness is it's tinkle it's bit when a person has light a person You can appreciate the you can appreciate the world and you can connect to everything. Look at the next column. I'm going to skip ahead for a moment. And the next column, the world is like We don't see anything. Where is everything? Now you have to understand my said this. It's very hard for us to appreciate a conversation and a when you're talking about and because we don't know what lila means anymore. Thanks to the fact that we have lights and we can do anything and everything that a person does by day. You could do by night. You can go anywhere you want. All you need to do is use your imagination and go back 150 years ago. Since the beginning of the world, back to 150 years ago, there was no street lights. Viteman, what are you doing at nighttime? Where's it to go? What's doing? Whatever people did, they did by day. There was no electricity. There was a little bit but not the way there was now. So you had candles you you either learned you read you went to sleep and you got up at the crack of dawn and that was it. So what was nighttime then? The world was really dead. There was no place to go. The aish created that. Now the Rambam writes Because it's a time that a person can really think deep and be meal so many within themselves. It's a time when a person can internalize and go into the inner self of a person and can amass once upon a time that knew so much because they weren't disturbed by the chatter and everything in the world around them that disturbed them. So they could they could learn deeper and deeper in their he knew so much because they weren't distracted. That time of night was the perfect time for able to person to internalize all of his cuz he wasn't busy doing more things. He was there internalizing. So when we talk about we talk about we talk about that the world is dead. The we just read is everything else is no There's nothing left. The world is dead. All there is is when the sun will come out, then the world will all be back. Everything will be where it was when I left it the previous night. That's at that time there's nothing left. But we believe that what will happen is that then after all is said and done, right? At that point in time there's norish right. We once said over here that the shah that you say in the morning and the shama that you say at night is a toast to think that you say schma twice a day. You say schma twice, but you say each schma only once. The schma that you say in the morning is a schma where everything I see in the world comes from you. You're the source of everything. Right? I everything comes from me. Thema you say at nighttime when disast when you see nothing is the that the says after all is said and done everything else can go away and there's one thing left and that's only the right then that's called the of the source the ms of the I see everything and it all makes sense that's one ms And then there's an that you're trustworthy that I can believe in you that even though everything else is not around but you right you're the one and only that's all left. Okay those two emmesis are rooted in the two versions of Makarda. Let's now go to the beginning of the which is a quote from the Maharal in Hashem and you'll see a fascinating there was one it started giving birth. There was and we did this once I think and it filled up the land. What are you busy with? Go ahead and keep you do a great job. And it croked the bowl and everybody came there. The says says the says it doesn't say it says singular >> one singular. Now we remember the medish that they kept on banging it. That's the one we know. That's not this medish. This medish has a different explanation as to where all of them came from. Let's see the Why did it say only one of them, right? Why didn't they have the They're not together. What the a did was reveal not just to punish the Egyptians, but the aishar was also showing as we saw in the zerosimir the shame of Hashem who creates everything. Not just the name Elim that the visual creation but the name of Hashem which is behind the name Elle Kim not the tea that you see in El Kim Kim gimatri but the source of tea and you know how you see the source of tea when you see how tea is not always not always everything stays in tea because if everything's in tea then you think that tea is the way it has to be. So if I reveal to you a different source of tea, then all of a sudden you understand now that that tea has a shish behind it. >> Proves the rule. >> I'm sorry. >> The exception proves the rule. >> The exception proves the rule. I like that. So that's the of that name like we saw in the schlawashem. There's an anem behind that name. Watch what happens now. One frog comes says and where's all the rest of them? What do you mean? It gave birth to everyone. Mashitz. What is he showing according to rabba? He's showing that the abisher is the source by sending one frog and letting that one frog give birth to all the other frogs as the to show you how everything that exists in the world comes from. And watch watch how this frog, this mother frog is mashit and all these frogs are coming from this mother. Now all of this is coming just from one source says the so there's multiple agendas. I am not only going to be bring a Makit and they're going to know they're going to know this. They're going to know where the source comes from. They're going to know. They're going to understand where the source of everything comes from. The rebel says, "No, he doesn't hold that. Rather, rebelzar holds what happened that all the frogs that came to Mitim were all existing in the world and they all converged on mit. They came to what's called a of I'm the of the world. I'm where everything ends up. That's a where their whole existence eventually comes to the of the that's the that's what the revealed in mit in the meantime how do you know that you believe it that's a revelation of the that we don't experience now but it's are and this is an ad point I want you to understand this init revealed both aspects in mit wasn't an amun in mit was a reality they saw according to rebel they saw that the tas of everything that exists in the world comes to me but that's something which we don't see today that's called when you'll see in the meantime that's just our belief because we don't see the tas of all of creation. We don't know why does this and why does that and why every what has we are in we see but we don't understand and we think we see and we think we understand but if you don't know the big picture what is doing so what you see is really not or it's like my rebi once said a gavald he said the light that we live in in a certain way is darkness He gave a gavaldo. Imagine a person has a flashlight. He goes outside at night and he shines his flashlight. Whatever he sees, he could see. But he doesn't realize that there are three bears over there at the side and he's walking right towards them. Do you know why? Cuz his flashlights are on. If you ask him, "Are you are you safe?" Of course, I'm safe. But you don't see what's going on over there. Living in this world and just seeing life the way we experience it for our 70 years is not because in a sense you're not really experiencing the full spectrum of all of the Bria. You'll only really be able to see what's real and what's not real when you get a picture of and then you can say why did this happen to me why did that happen to me which did I come from in this gilg where was I over there is why did I lose my job why did I get the job why did I have a hard time with every single qu you're look you're walking around life with 70 years that's a flashlight of 6,000 years. You're seeing just a sliver of time and you expect to see the whole world in that time. Only at the end when everything becomes revealed and you see how all the pieces come to one a then you see how everything makes sense that what in this stage of life right now until we don't get to the end we trust you that we'll get there but at when a wanted to reveal his he revealed both aspects of MS. He revealed the alif of as according to reba of Ems and he revealed the tough the suff the last letter according to rebel. He revealed both aspects according to one and according and if according to one he didn't do it in this one he did it in a different one of the makas the mus was which of was he being and when we say every day and we finish and we say If it's by daytime, we're saying the all the things in the world come from the we're saying I'm the beracious of the Bria and I know where it comes from. That's and when it's dark outside. So it's the m that I trust you that even though I know it'll all end up in a good place that's the came on was the ofious of all the frogs came from it has a name it was the It was then so should be able to have the amuno that when they go through life and they don't understand you'll know it all ends up in one place they saw it then something you experience that wasn't an amuna that was a reality but because of that we have the amuna so to summarize the shama that you say in the morning and the shama that you say in the evening is you say twice a day but each one you say you don't repeat because each time we we are we are identifying and we're claiming that's the and the we're saying you're one you're the you're the of the boracious if you don't say you weren't says the you weren't because you didn't bring it home you believe it up there but it didn't make it real and at night time when everything is tight when it's and there's no R and we say but you're still one why because when Everything is said and done and everything's gone, right? I know that there's one thing that will always be here and that's you, Aish. And I know I'll see how all those frogs come to one source. They'll end up. But that you saw in you don't see it now, right? But I trust you. That's the which is the end. That's the end. Both of those that's what says the that is number one he's and also he's us he protects us to make sure that till we don't get to the end that we shall make it there and we'll be there with him at the end and we'll end up to that is this is what was in that one from the morning theativ or the eh from
