Parshas Bo: If We Emptied Egypt, What Was Left At the Sea? 4 Approaches

recording in progress okay good morning friends how are you good to see everyone I want to share with you a question that my son schlomo asked me and a few approaches they made us like a pile that has no grain or there's an opinion like a p like a like a Pond that has no fish and that means we really emptied out MIT they're actually the say and we we emptied them out we really scraped the bottom of the barrel we took out all the money so theud and the brings down the following question my son asked me this question well then where do we get the Bey from how are there spoils at the sea to the extent that not only were there spoils at the sea but we took more out of the sea than we took out of Egypt how is that possible if we empty them out mean again the question is how is it that we took more out of the sea thanam if we uh we were if we empty them out this is the question so actually I'm a little hesitant to use this information I was thinking maybe I'll save it for next week but here we go so says that his son R seal answered that CL they lived in rames their work was in PE in Ram but the rest of the country the Jews weren't there but when the Gula happened then they all came to the uh capital city and whatever they borrowed and z and small they uh um they borrowed from their residents in Ramses also they uh they borrowed from the capital city but the rest of the country they did not have any interaction with in other words the Jewish people interacted with their neighbors in Ram they interacted with their neighbors in the capital of MIM but they didn't have much dealings with the rest of the country so they emptied out rames they emptied out the capital the rest of the country was not affected until the so that's and the says it's a nice answer however says that if not for Rashi I would have uh explained differently what does it mean and this is along the lines of what we were saying on Wednesday so it really doveet tales on what we were talking about this week we know all the Exiles that we've been exiled to even though it's a punishment but the G was like the that Hashem exiled the Jewish people among the nations of the world why in order to add on gas because the is we know that there are sparks of kadus that fall into the kipa and cl has to go all over the world in order to bring these Sparks of kadha back and they come back in the guys of gam now saysa this is a concept you should all be familiar with because we learned about it on Wednesday but says that when CL left we took out all the Sparks of kadus that's why we took we had so many G right the says because we basically took out every single spark of K but says even though we can't really be but what's the reason why the Torah warns us three times never to go back to M the reason is because we have no business there because we finished all our all of our business over there why is it that other gison we've never been warn God never said don't go back to France God never said don't go back to uh Germany God never said don't go back to other countries why D because other gas we left either we were chased out or we left with permission and we didn't we never finished the job but MIM we left with great Pomp and ceremony we left be Rama and therefore many gum attached them M themselves to us and we finish the job and therefore there's not one spark of kadha left therefore warns us never to go back says I've interpreted [Laughter] the we say why does the tah separate the and then says that according to what I said it's very good it says by not what does that mean we're lost we have an A in listen carefully we we have an A what's the AA the Sparks of kadus but in there's no AA so why did we have to ever go there again the answer is we didn't we didn't go there for any reason we were just Outcast over there so everywhere else in the world we're we're lost there we have to get back our lost object our Sparks of kadus however in in so says when we say we emptied out it's not talking about the money it's talking about the RAS but in terms of the gmas we we didn't really finish the job or we didn't even do most of the job until we got to the yam so that's answer number two again the question is if we emptied out MIT so then how could have been more than so answer number one is the son of the was more because only emptied out RAM and the capital city the emptied out the rest of the country answer number two is when we say we emptied out M it means of Sparks of kadus I want to show you share with you another answer from the sa IM IM of rakov delkash rakov deash he says how could the been greater if we emptied out MIT says we emptied it out of whatever we saw but the deposits and the Treasures of the kings that were hidden deep below and in the mat we never saw it we didn't get it until one of the commentaries on Rashi is a saer called um B and the says y gathered all the storehouses of silver and gold that was in B ofine and parro said to his servants that okay I'm going to open up the storehouses so that's why why they all went to B sa and Par gave from the storehouses of B and that's where the B came from by the way it's interesting I was um I guess last year we were in Columbus Ohio for shabas so on F we got there on Friday so we had a we had a couple of the kids with us we had to do something with the kids so we went to a museum and they had an a traveling exhibit there and you had to pay a lot to get into the traveling exhibit but it looked very interesting they had a replica of uh King Tut's Treasures King's tuts Treasures actually this was we were there pasas K and um we were actually we were going to go to Egypt in this January but it didn't work out because of uh the war but they had a replica of King Tut's Treasures which was found in uh Egypt and the the wealth of the king of the Pharaoh was really literally Indescribable the amount of boxes they put him in um and the amount of treasures that they buried with him including his Chariots of pure solid gold wasar so it's very interesting to me because this was really the wealth of Egypt and kazal say the reason why kak went off is because K found the treasures of Y which was from par so just to give you a little glimpse of the what what we're talking about when we talk about the now this pastas I said over something from a regarding saying with the right kav because we know that when one is is um when one says sh one is supposed to be that they would give up their life yeah and the M says that the Mitzvah of K the Mitzvah of giving up one's life forem is incumbent on on every Jew but if one says sh with the right Cav it's considered as if that one actually fulfilled it and it was interesting to me who wrote the so just yesterday I looked up who wrote The M of Modina who the speaks about um in the sh he calls him which is a rare title in the sh and he was I literally just researched him yesterday and already in today's show we have another teaching from the m and if you want to join us in uh Italy we're going to be going to the city of Modina where he also addresses this question he addresses the two de of RI and as well as says that the made like like a pond that has no fish so the question is so then what exactly was the basy so he says very interestingly a pond may not have fish but the fish still lay eggs and when fish lay eggs there millions of eggs on the bottom of the pond so even though we took out all the fish but but we only borrowed from Egypt the silver and the gold and the clothing but the majority of their wealth that still lay in Egypt so the analogy is we took out all the fish but the eggs were still there Rish says like a pile that um has no grain because we took all the wealth but but we never took the wealth of the officer and the Kings and that's where the Bas came from so that's uh sort of to review how did we have Bas if we emptied out MIT so the answer theud is we emptied out the ram in the capital city but not the rest of the country the answer the himself is we emptied them out of Sparks of kadus but the money remained the IM says that we didn't take all the Treasures of the king the be Bas says likewise that we didn't yet get the treasures of par that were in B the M says that we didn't take out the eggs namely that we didn't take out uh a lot of the wealth or we didn't take out the wealth of the king um in any event that's uh a few approaches to deal with this question um want everybody to mark on their calendar we have upcoming y kala March 3rd to March 5th that's filling up very quickly so if you want to reserve your spot we'll be uh very happy if you participate and everyone's invited to tonight's sh is going to be out of this world even though we've spoken about the makos many times and we we uh learned about the connection between the Mak and the tonight we're venturing into a new frontier connecting the makco to the 10 spero the 10 SP really it's out of this world literally and figuratively and allegorically and symbolically and all and in always ways so hope you could join us tonight at 8:30 have a good day everyone call
