Pninei Maggid Harakiah - 8 Original Insights on Parshas Shemos

this Tower class is brought to you by torahanytime.com good morning everyone Welcome to our our Friday shoe Rim I'm Parsha shimais good to see everybody I want to share with you some original thoughts on parashas shamas if anybody would like to order the new safer on shamos it's out it's in this Farm Stores you could order it at our site Rabbi dg.com in preparation of the new safer safer shimais also uh we're currently working on hagada shop in English for art scroll if anybody would like to be mishtante from that please contact us and you can have a hilac in the upcoming safer okay it's very interesting the ligamara and soita and base makes an analogy and a comparison between my shabino and the creation of the light the possible Moshe was born foreign was born the whole house filled up with light here it says and she saw him that he was good and it says over there so just like the light was called toiv when it said that Moshe saw that the child was good it means the whole the whole house filled up with light so let's take that analogy a little bit further and that is just like when Hashem created the light Hashem had to hide it because he saw that it was not good for the Richard to benefit from that light we do find a similar idea by maishrabino we are vatitispinay she hid him so that's a further analogy of the comparison between the light just like the light had to be stashed away so too much next idea it says that the maidservants of the the daughter of the Pharaoh abbasia they were going and Rashi says um what does it mean they were going it's a lotion of Misa like lamos so haliha is death it's referring to death or like so we find that the word means to go to Misa this is at a polar opposite of the way Rashi interprets the word highlight in patches there it says she says that means because rising up growing staging elevating oneself from level to level so isn't it interesting that the word either means to going to death or it means learning that's like two very disparate interpretations of the word and this is a remise perhaps to the great teaching of the villanue and that in this world it is impossible to plateau you're always going somewhere either you're going upward or you're going downward to Misa but there's no in between there's always on this world in this world you're always traveling you're always going somewhere either you're going You're elevating yourself or you're going uh or or you're going lamisa now Basia sees the child and the child does not want to nurse from any of the Egyptian midwives so basius says take the child [Music] Rashi explains that she was prophecying and she didn't know what she was prefacing she was saying take your child hey take your child so she didn't know she was prophecying it but she was nevertheless prophecy take your child so I was bothered what benefit is there that Hashem put this navua in her mouth that she said take your child why would Hashem Make Her Say benavua take your child let her just say take the child I mean well hashem's not going to make a miracle for nothing for what purpose put prophecy into her mouth I think we could explain that you know most grew up in the house of the Pharaoh she grew up he grew up as the uh basically foster child of the adopted child of vasya I mean Paro was his father for all intents and purposes so why didn't my shabino grow up as an Egyptian why was he never under their influence I mean he grew up in that household they were his parents the answer is when Basia uttered the words with prophecy your child that created a reality that Maisha always remained the child of your heaven and amram how through those words of Prophecy that sort of made it that created that reality that he never was subsumed by the household of the Pharaoh the next of our Torah is stunning but I already said it over this week um it's really it's really beautiful I'll let you read it and you can listen to it on some of the other shiram okay so I want to point out you know of all the nations in the history of the world well cloudy so certainly was uh chosen for the greatest gifts the giving of the Torah the Miracles of The Exodus the gift of Arts Israel the gift of prosperity throughout the generations Claude Israel Jewish people are always more Prof prosperous than than the Nations that we live among but nevertheless we were also we also suffered more than any other Nation and the question is why why throughout the the ages whether it's Corbin by SRI Shinee whether it's Crusades Inquisition pogrom's Holocaust No Other Nation endured what we had to endure why what did we do that we warranted and the answers found frighteningly in this week's Parsha my shabino says she says now I understand in what way the Jewish people sinned more than any other Nation but now says I understand they are worthy of it they are deserve it and that is referring to lushanhara where my Shabana realized that somebody tattled on him which means the reason why cloudy Israel not only in Egypt but this is the reason why we've endured and been punished more than any other nation is because of lushanhara and you'll ask but the goaims speak more Lush and harder than we do that is true but as the explains for the nations of the world is not navera and the reason it's not navera is because they are not by definition one entity and therefore causing disparity and lack of unity is not such a crack in their Foundation but because therefore lashinhara destroys us and that is something that is I am to someone who thinks about it is running away from the pharaoh and he runs away and he comes to the well and Rashi says learned a lesson from yaakov to find his by the well right I don't think they've uh tapped into this uh Power to try to deal with the you know the sugar crisis no we live in a time where it's uh it's difficult young singles have a hard time finding their civil hagon and you know I don't think we've tapped into this uh segula enough we need more Wells you know they should get together at the well you know obviously uh all kidding aside what does Rashi mean that that Moshe learned the lesson from yaakov to find his by the well he was looking for he was it says he was running away from paroi Perry wanted to kill him and he ran away he ran to midyan so he lived by the well is that why he went there he went there to run from parai but you perhaps you could say there's a deeper element over here isn't it interesting that when does my Shabana look for a shiraq hidafka looks for the when power is running after him to kill him why didn't he look for for all the years before you would think that when somebody's running after you to kill you that's not the time to look for a Civic to look for a shitta that's not the time to look for a my shrabino learned from yakovino you know when it's time to build you know when it's time to build your family just like when yaakovino ASA was running after him to kill him that's when yaakov went to get married because we never throw in the towel just when you think all hope is lost that's when you build for the future by the way like the pun of acharov when the Germans were primed to enter Palestine that's when the Panama Panama so let's have the groundbreaking for panovich that's when you build just when you think all hope is lost that's when you build the future so most of learned not just the location of when of where to look for sin but when to look first when to look for a shithak uh when when you think all hope is lost that's when you redouble your efforts next round she brings that much of any road on a donkey a special donkey hackham or the special donkey says Rashi the camera that was designated that avram brought to the akedah and that the Malachi is going to reveal himself on so it's interesting that there are three historic events that utilizes donkey Akita now I know the connection between gulaim and gulahasida we know that Gola Smith Shrine was the predecessor of the pre-enactment of the gula asida but where does the Acadia come in so there's an idea that we wrote about in the book on the omnaram that Hashem had a certain plan for other Mari shine and that failed and Hashem gave another chance for mankind to be the Adam that God intended when he said NASA Adam and avram avinu demonstrated and showed himself that he in fact is that Adam when did uh when did Abram avinu demonstrate himself that way he demonstrated himself that way when at the acada and that was fully realized in the time well and that will be fully realized in the time of the gulo hasida so in other words the Arcada was was a similar seminal event in world history similar to that of the gula hasida in that case we can understand why Rashi brings in the end of the parashah Hashem says you know didn't ask me any questions why do you have so many questions of Allah why is Hashem comparingu to avraham perhaps based someone we just said that is now Paving the way for the next seminal event in world history namely the Gula hasida by taking the Jews out of Egypt that's the pre-enactment of the Final Redemption so avram avinu does it in stage one at the Acadia Begins the stage two of the Gula Sita but now Hashem criticizes moisha you're not fit for the job here you don't live up to avrah mavino avram avinu at the akedah and you're gonna ride his donkey you're going to bring the world to the next level okay two more ideas next idea we live in a generation where there's no respect for authority there's no respect for position there's no respect for people of eminence and prominence case in point suffer many people their favorite pastime is mocking the uh commander-in-chief president of the United States while the laws of lushanhara do not apply to as always nevertheless we have to think about the appropriateness of such conduct in light of what gazal tell us came to Parry they said let us go lest God strike us down Rashi says what they what they were saying is lest God strike you down but they were they had to give coveted so they don't want to say lest God kill you so they they couched it of course Perry understood what they meant but what they were saying was God's gonna kill you if you don't if you don't let us go but they didn't say those words says actually from here we learn you have to honor the king honor the king but he's wicked and he's holding the Jewish people hostage and we need to threaten his life doesn't matter even at the time you're threatening this wicked Depot's life you still have to show him courtesy and respect so I think that you know that that puts into a different View the uh type of mockery people make of of people in position of office and Power even if they're not qualified and even if they're sort of uh bring it upon themselves nevertheless demands that even if you're dealing with a murderer Russia like the Pharaoh you still have to show Kevin mahos next question next idea and this will be the final idea and I've been asked the questions over the years where people they get a little bit more into learning as they get older and they come and they say you know my wife tells me you know why you want to run out to the base of address because you don't want to help in the house it's not that you're so into learning it's not that all of a sudden you're interested in a minion it's now you don't want to help me so it's more convenient for you to go to the base mattress that's the question I get very often and the person says you know what she's right that's part of the reason why I want to go learn it it's easier oh you know why you want to go learn because you don't want to go to the simcha it's not that you're such a big town so you don't want to show up to the wedding so you want to go learn and the answer is don't say that to yourself out thinking yourself to say yes the only reason I want to do the midsize for ulterior motives I won't do the mitzvah that's the eighth of the eight Sahara that's one of the tactics of the Year where the Atara tries to like outsmart you and say nah don't do the Mitzvah the only reason you want to do the Mitzvah is because you have some kind of ulterior motive that's exactly what the Pharaoh told Claudius from nearby Tim there Bim you guys are a bunch of lazy bums that's why you want to go make a festival in the mid bar and offer sacrifices you're not so religious it's just you don't want to make pyramids so it's easier it's easier to go to show than to make the pyramids but the fact that the Torah puts these words in the mouth of the Pharaoh and we know pyrosy and Sahara that means this is something the it'sohara tells us yes tells us it's not really that you want to learn it's that you don't want to do something else but we have to ignore the eight Sahara whatever is getting us to go to go to learn or to Davin we need to go and learn in the oven and don't let him question what our motivation is okay now we're going to come to the next part of uh this morning's shiran you've just experienced another Torah class brought to you by Tora anytime.com
