you'll know exactly what's going on you can join the WhatsApp group at Rabbi Efron goldberg.org WhatsApp Rabbi Efron goldberg.org WhatsApp and you'll be able to be kept up to date about everything this will give the privilege of learning and reading parishes Bashar page 366 in the art scroll Stone Hamish is sent out the Jewish people God did not lead them by the way of the land of the pleased him it was near it was too close to karovu the almighty was worried the Jewish people were panicked they'll be afraid and they will return they'll reconsider and they will return to mitraim it's a beautiful observation of the Haskell abramski has the following Insight or observation we know we've discussed previously and at length we won't nail but kosher at the beginning of Sota tells us that making a shiruch bringing a boy and a girl a man and a woman a husband and a wife together and living in Harmony and being able to build a beautiful home built in Shalom bias is as difficult as Chris yams if it's incredibly challenging how do you bring them together and why that muscle why not compare that challenge to another miracle to one of the other of the ten plagues to standing at harsinai to some other extraordinary event in in our Torah in history why specifically gives his interpretation his answer we've quoted it many times and there are others that are given says what's going on here at this says he took them out he did not lead them the most direct way we know that the shortest and straightest Journey between any two points is a straight line he took him in a circuitous route one is the cutest route because we're afraid we're going to go back so he's because we didn't go the most direct path and the world of people don't go the simple most direct path they make it unnecessarily complicated they had layers of complication layers of challenges and questions they compound the issue and we take a circuitous route instead of the most direct route we would have taken the most direct route we'd get there a lot faster we get there a lot faster sends out Paro sends out the Jewish people he sends out the the Jewish people and what happens in Israel they are safe Hashem turns the people towards the way of the Wilderness the Jewish people were mean Russia quotes two interpretations either it means that we were armed or it means only 20 left eighty percent eighty percent panicked that uh 80 did not want to leave they were used to they were accustomed to that life and even though there was a much better life waiting for us that is the human psyche we get so habituated by what we know we're afraid of change and something new we will tolerate and we will live with something oppressive and bad because it's what we know more than turning to something that we don't know so died I got a call late last night from a nephew who panicked he's trying to fall asleep at night and he was thinking about the part she learned in school and he said what will happen when mashiach comes well 80 percent of his friends not come to Israel and they're going to die here in America Uncle Ephraim needed to clarify so I said no mashiach comes everyone's going to want to go nobody's going to stay behind it's going to be great for everybody don't worry your friends are all coming with you you don't have to worry you're going to lose 80 percent of your friends what children think about while they fall asleep brisk there are many named after this Olivia but he uh he says that the fact that we were armed what's the next possible Moshe fulfilled his promise Moshe had promised Joseph we won't leave you you will not languish you will not be buried in Egypt in perpetuity we're going to take you with us Moshe took not only atmosio safe we've learned previously atmosio safe more important than They Carried the bones They Carried the essence the lesson of Yosef yosef's tenacity yosef's resilience yosef's Faith yosef's fearlessness Yosef who though he was in mitraim a foreign land never became corrupt and never became assimilated They Carried not only Atmos the bones of Yosef They Carried the atsmus They Carried the essence of Yosef with them so he says that's what it means what were they armed with where'd they get the weapons where they what were they armed with you know what they were armed with that's most you're safe the Jewish people's survival throughout our history Against All Odds and against systematic attempts to eliminate us we've been armed at times no no time more armed than we are today our holy and our sacred IDF our soldiers who protect Jews around the world we've never been armed better than we are today and certainly that's important and we dab in for Tau all the time but what is the greatest weapon the Jewish people have in what way are we the most armed the fact that we carry the legacy of our ancestors in fact that we have this of those who come before us the fact that we walk in their way and we follow in their footsteps and we Embrace their legacy that is the greatest way we're armed if we were to abandon Torah if we were to abandon our ancestors if we were abandoned our masora we could have all the weapons in the world we would never survive we would never be here we'd never Triumph what is the secret of our Survival how are we shim because we take Atmos Yosef we have to always remember who we are and where we come from that is the source of our strength that is the source of our strength that is the source of our resilience that is the source of of who we are of who we are the Jewish people are are leaving what happens let's go to pericard Gibble Turn the Page hashems to speak to the children let them turn back and encamp in this specific place the Omar power of Nay Israel and now all of a sudden para was speaking Jewish people have left ten plagues are over Coach Barkley took us out Paro is in pursuit in Paris speaking vyama Parliament Israel para says they're imprisoned in the land the Wilderness will lock them in the wilderness we're not done with paro's Harper coming hardened and foolishly after suffering endlessly he still thinks he could turn it around so he pursues the Jewish people Hashem is not done yet he says you think I'm finished you think I'm done you've not seen nothing yet wait till you see what I still have in store so he hardens paro's heart and he hardens the heart of the Egyptians and they pursue and they pursue and now who is pursuing the Jews what does it say a very different Triumph I would like to humbly suggest an original thought that maybe the Torah is telling us it's not the mitrim he said the Jewish people at this point are fleeing from two things the actual Egyptians the physical Egyptians the persecutors their oppressors whom they are afraid are still running after them they're worried they're not yet done but they also have a slave mentality they're a slave nature nation and they've spent 400 years if you count all the way back from the first arrival but 210 Years of Slavery and they've become assimilated in their values they're on the 49th level of visayam they become corrupt and contaminated they've lost their identity and their way so what are they running away from not only the physical Egyptians they're running away not only from the mitzrim they're running away from mitzrayim they're running away from the culture and the attitude and the ideology and the philosophy they're not only trying to flee from the mitzrim they're trying to flee from it's not only Egypt running after them it's mitzrayim we we don't have physical oppressors sure there's a rise of anti-Semitism on February 12th we're going to have a fascinating live debate to invent Shapiro Rosenberg on the subject of anti-Semitism coming from different angles surely we have to address anti-Semitism and what's going on however we are physically free but Hashem were not persecuted and oppressed but you know what you're defu America the Western World we are observant assimilated Jews and we have to worry we have to fear even those who are fully observant are assimilated in so many ways and so many of our values our priorities our lives and our lifestyles and the ostentatiousness or some of the um or some of the the way that we're living some of the Superstition we'll come back to I don't know how many of yet today today's Tuesday how many have said Parsha Salman today how many emails did you get that if you want parnassa say Parsha saman today you should all be at work not the partial if you want a school for parnasa you should be at work you're retired it's okay if you're here you're retired if you're working I don't know if your boss knows that you're here or not so school is following silly I'm not saying it's a silly Superstition we'll go through it in a moment but embracing silly superstitions is not our philosophy it's not our way that's why you're definitely try him Shem took us out of Egypt was a place of magic sorcery and Superstition we don't believe in red bendels that's silly Superstition we don't believe in naroshkai we believe in the rebonation we live in the abistair we live in the shepher we lean and we surrender and we submit exclusively to him he gave us we are an amsigula we'll read next week we're in amsigula we are a nation of segulas what does that mean what does it mean to be a nation of segulas things that you get in emails we have 613 segulas I saw yesterday on the highway I was driving on the billboard announces the the Mega Millions I don't know if it changed already but the billboard on the highway the Mega Millions at least yesterday was got to Win It 613 million dollars so instead of the billboard Mega Millions Mega Millions is 613. 613 million dollars whoever you are whenever you win Boca Raton Synagogue Yeshiva South Florida don't forget 613 but we have 613 schoolers 613 when I'm sagula not 613 red strings and yet the food not only are the Midstream running after usrayim the mentality of superstition the mentality of assimilation of culture of a foreign culture we're running and we're fleeing from both but let's go back let's go back to pass again foreign what's funny about that they're not there what do you mean power is speaking to the Jewish people Jewish people are out they're gone so this bothered Rashi the other question is not speaking to the Jewish people lick and sometimes mean Albany Israel Paro is speaking about the Jewish people it actually explains not two because they've left Egypt but living Israel is talking about the Jewish people translates differently and says Paulo is speaking not about he's speaking to how could you speak to people who've already gone they're not there so talking about Israel there were two Jews who were left in Egypt the 80 died they were buried Marcus there were two living Jews Left Behind who were they aviram refused to leave with the rest of our misrael these two had a long history of rebelliousness a long history of taking the other side on any issue we have four examples of Dustin vaviram being contentious being adversarial always taking the other side so the Jewish people left they said enjoy we're staying back we're the four examples when two Jews were fighting in the beginning of parshur shmos and moshius is Russia these were the two Jews they were the ones who revealed that Moshe had killed the mystery number two two people who left mon for the next day were trying to prove that you can save you can leave over they were antagonizing Hashem and Moshe who were they number three maragon came back with their pornhart Israel it says who were they begins his Rebellion against Moshe and the Jewish people who were the first to join so we know some of the stories I just mentioned happen where in the desert if they stayed back so much so the power of speaking to them in our Parsha had they get out so the answer is says how did the Jews survive Marcus hoshak if they weren't going to leave if they were such antagonists and adversaries such cynics and rebellious why didn't they die in Marcus and if they stayed back how'd they escape how'd they get up how'd they catch up how do they find themselves in the mid bar with the rest of the night soil isn't it amazing we read the same Parsha and every year there's something new to learn so much that you didn't know you didn't see I'm going to share with you wild stuff today from our ilzer plus Satora I'm going to share with you great stuff Samara discon says you know why they didn't die he says there's a fifth Story of Dawson it's a fifth story where the police officers who supervised the work of the Jews in mitzrayim because they were such outliers they were selected they were chosen they were recruited by Paro and his men to essentially be the capos they were the Jewish policemen who supervised the Jewish people and when moshinaron told Paro let our people go and Paro doubled down on the work and he increased and he intensified the torture and he told us anyone who doesn't match up anyone who doesn't do their workload you have to beat them refused he said look we might be cynics and scoffers we might run the Breakaway we might be the rebellious ones you know out but to raise the hands against the fellow Jew we draw the line there we would never raise a hand against a fellow Jew never so doesn't look at Parow and say no chance maybe you look at us as the outliers The Outsiders because we positioned ourselves as a cynical adversaries we're not going to anti-establishment anti-authority and we are but that doesn't mean we'd ever raise the hand against the fellow Jew so when push came to shove Dawson of aviram had the Jewish people's back they would not allow the Jewish people to be hurt they would not hurt them says them out audiskin in that Merit despite the other four stories despite the other terrible things they did the fact that they drew a line and refused to raise their hand against a fellow Jew they did not perish they did not die in makas bojoros why because they practice the key Jewish attribute and trait they were no say but they had empathy they they were aggravators and agitators but they also were empathetic to the plight of the Jewish people okay so we know they survived Marcus how'd they get out had they catch up how did they find themselves in the desert so the Bear Mountain says one step further he says there was a second splitting of the sea it's Medusa the seed didn't only split once for God's claw Israel for two more people who were left behind it split a second time it says first when it was still a sea and only later did it become a yabasha when it split that's referring to aviram who entered the sea when it was still dry land so the Jews entered it when it was a sea it split and it was dry land and then it says they entered again when it was dry land who entered the second time when it was dry land that was so he sees a very powerful message even no matter how poorly behaved one is no matter how far they've Fallen when you have a line when push comes to shove you have the back of a fellow Jew you stand up for a brother you refuse to not only hurt them but to allow them to be hurt when you feel the pain of a fellow Jew then you are still redeemable one is a Jew irredeemable when they can hurt a fellow Jew when they could stand idly by while a fellow Jew is being hurt at that point they've become irredeemable remain redeemable and what makes them still redeemable says them out of this skin because they drew that line and they were refused to be accomplices to Parow and to hurt or allow the Jewish people to be to be heard okay I want to get a lot in so let's go let's move you ready for this grab onto your seatbelt first we have cashier is so we know from this pasok what you're seeing right now in Egypt you will not see again you will not see again what is the past telling us don't fear Stand Fast you're about to see Hashem come through for you today as you have seen Egypt today you will not see them ever again the Torah in three places says you're not allowed to live in Egypt we spoke about this last week it's an amazing shot so the safer capture of Affairs he says something nifla he quotes that he heard me P Rabbi shmuel the grandson of the rambam how is it that the rambam went back and lived in Egypt how could it be Torah in three places says you're not allowed to go back to Egypt and hear the Torah is telling us why you can't go back and live in Egypt because what you've seen today you're not going to see again you're done you should never have to look into the face of an Egyptian again never live in Egypt again so how is it that the grand bomb lived in Egypt and he quotes this is the rambam's eye nickel his grandson quotes that the rambam used to sign off his letters he would say hako safe the author who every day violates three biblical prohibitions so in three places says he can't live in Egypt live in Egypt the Raman lived in Egypt he thought what a signature wow what a signature so the the capture of a pharaoh says first of all he was honest he had to live there he was a doctor a consultant of the sultan he had no choice he couldn't get up and leave he had to live there number two the Torah and this is one of the heter and we once gave a Shabbos about this if you email me I'll send you several dozen pages of banner mccomos of exactly this question the Rama is not the only one as recently as ravavady you're safe on the basement of Cairo of mitraim Israel what happened to the prohibition you're not allowed to live in say you're allowed to go back to Egypt if you're not going to live if you're going for business some say you're a lot of love in Egypt if you're going for a holy reason you're serving the community you're doing Outreach you're a Jew you're allowed to live outside you can go in Egypt but one of the answers they give is when the Torah says you're not allowed to go Shem says here's the circuitous route I took you out don't ever take this route to go back but if you go a different route you're allowed to return so specifically the prohibitionist to this route if you took another route you'd allow to go back now as it happens to be we have no evidence that rambam actually signed a letter that way we have original letters of the rambam we have no evidence that he actually signed the letter there's the tradition the tradition itself is Meaningful because it tells us that the rambam grappled he felt attention how could he live there when the Torah says don't live there but did he really sign his letters that way or not it seems that he didn't this is a much bigger topic about living has a long long essay about long entry specifically about this why the Alexander Alexandria did it for because Jews returned they shouldn't have returned how did that happen what happened there's a lot in here about about that turn of page 372 Torah tells us stretched out his hand over the sea Hashem over the sea with a strong East Wind all night he turned the sea to damp land and the water split the water split rabena the great Spanish 12th century commentator in the saktamine his introduction to arpashi says he says something Wild if you were responsible today we have incredible technology so let's say someone tasked you design or if you had the skills engineer and build 3D put on those goggles and let's live like we were a member of Carl Israel can you live through Chris yamsov I saw last week magazine had an article that a group of Harry women from Israel went to Auschwitz for the first time ever it closed down for three days to allow them to video they've never allowed a video crow in and they videoed not 3D what do they call it virtual reality so in posterity people will be able to take a virtual reality tour walking through Auschwitz survivors took that tour and it was so real they experienced Trauma from it they identified the Barrack I remember standing there I remember this happening there so imagine someone could create a virtual 3D tour and we would be able to experience Chris amsoff how would you design it what would it be like had the water split all at once slowly one wall two walls how many paths through how many times you'd have to learn up the sugya you'd have to go through our passion go through it well to know what happened says something wild he says you know how to see split you took a step it withdrew took another step it was Drew Moore it didn't split and you saw the clear path all the way through to the end you didn't get to see the light coming out the tunnel on the other side for every courageous step quality Israel took it withdrew and it split one more step you ever hear that before I never heard that I never knew that I'm glad I came today Robert says as they took a step they saw it split name just like a person flees from someone else the sea split the sea fled the sea ran with each step the Jews took the sea ran away from the Jews in its path so remaining says do it this way why to do it this way because if you didn't do it this way it took incredible it took extraordinary Faith to take the first step but once you took the first step and you saw the clear path how much Faith did it take but if every step you didn't know that it was going to continue to split that each step took enormous continued faith just like the man didn't fall a week at a time a month at a time a Costco size at a time but it fell just that day for that day at a time just that day for that day at a time all you knew was you had a meal for today what will you eat tomorrow I don't know I just know my meal for today so similarly the city split one step at a time so if you're designing the virtual reality 3D and whoever runs with the idea I don't need a commission I'm good to go I'm happy you're doing it go run with it whoever runs with the idea but according to you're gonna have to have different versions press one for abena bakaya and that will be as you walk with your virtual reality the sea splits as you go however writes and says it's split entirely all at once now if it's split one step at a time what would you be afraid every step you took it's going to come crashing on my head we're going to drown there's no way out this is not going to work I'm not going to get all the way to the end what happens if I see a path only to get halfway through and then I turn around and now closed in behind me we're done we're going to drown and in one Clyde Israel to be afraid in fear so therefore disagrees and says it was open all the way I was thinking this machlocus these different views are really relevant to our lives creates the clear path I understand what I need to do where I need to go how I'm going to get there thank you Hashem and sometimes the question says take one step at a time I know you don't see the path I know you don't see how you get there I know you don't see this coming to an end but do what you have to do today just today today's treatment take today's treatment today's doctor's visit today today's fun you have a campaign 18 million dollars you have no idea how you're going to get there today's meetings today's donation today's commitment each day sometimes whatever it is in life whatever challenge whatever opportunity whatever you're going through in life sometimes you have the clear path if you win the 613 million dollar you got the clear path you know exactly how you're going to get there in the campaign and sometimes laugh loud you take a step unless you makes the water go back you take another step it makes the water go back sometimes the man falls all at once you win the lottery and sometimes the month Falls day by day I don't know how this ends I don't know where this goes I'm going to work on my relationship today I'm going to work on parnassa today I'm going to work on the health today sometimes and sometimes it's a sips going sometimes you see all the way through sometimes it's step by step these are two different shut them they don't necessarily disagree but these two interpretations correlate with the two types of experiences we have in life he then goes on and quotes we're not going to go through this that the C actually split not only two times he quotes but he quotes the split three times maybe a third time the C split we're not going to go through this right now he quotes that we know exactly where it's split the majors split we still know where that is and we can identify it until today the baron of bells says not only is that place noticeable but you know when quality store came into Arts Israel and we passed over the iodine the yard didn't split the sea split into two walls or maybe 12 volts a lane for each tribe but the yard didn't want to split into one wall just split entirely one side but it also split for us to cross into aretz Israel we put the two stones that had the whole Torah on them we'll read later in the Torah so rebound bells are right that we not only know where the sea split the yamsaf we also know where the yard and split was a miraculous places the person would make a bracha if they visited there today but we're not going through that 374. we are flying today so what's going on the Salvation we made our way through the Sea Christ from miraculously made it to the other side and what happened to the waters They Came Crashing Down and who survived there remained not a one of them it sounds like from the pasta who survived sounds like nobody survived not one nobody survived I'm gonna tell you something unbelievable foreign it's a good thing you're all sitting down if you're driving and you're listening live pull over it sounds like nobody survived but the magician interprets except for one and who was the one who survived Paro now that you've heard Paris survived and why did power survive it's sort of his punishment there's some people so bad that it would actually be kind to execute them we're going to make you live and we're going to make you suffer and you're going to suffer the rest of your life you're going to suffer in solitude solitary confinement you're going to suffer in punishment or you're going to suffer simply by watching the people that you try to exterminate and extinguish watch them Blossom and flourish Hitler killed himself but that he survived it could be that the greater punishment to execute again would have been to make him sit and watch And subscribe to Times of Israel Jerusalem Post to watch all the patents and Technology to see Israel Survive and Thrive and Blossom maybe that would have been a bigger punishment so Torah says sounds like not one Survivor but there was one that says the measures the one was para y the separagus let him tell the story of hashem's greatness that Moshe said let my people go say I refused and I learned the lesson it All Began he says when the Story begins he says I don't know a God by the end he'll become God's spokesman oh I came to learn God I was introduced God and that that's the kingdom balatosos of the rest of the nation that you heard that you don't have to be sitting down for but the perki the rebeliezer goes further you ready not the picture sorry yeah yeah sorry I figured the other says so he survives good what happened to him where'd he go what do we hear about him what happened to Para um even Paro Paro a heinous Tyrant an evil Wicked oppressor of the Jewish people who led a genocide against our people he did chuva and he did chuba with the very same language that he had originally sinned he began the story by saying who's God why do I have to listen to his voice who's God that I should listen to him and he ends by saying and Hashem saved him from the corpses he survived he survived the amsuf um where did he go next Paro he couldn't go back to mitzrayim he went and he became the king of ninvee value because evil we know they were evil then they was an evil place the Doom and Gloom that would be visited upon them Paro whose heart was no longer being hardened now his softened heart heard the message Paro LED this movement of chuva of repentance said whoever does not return in their ways should be executed and that's the story of Paro and ninvee um there for 410 years he was the king there for many many years you ready for this not that we're not done yet it's not just that means that Paro survived it's not just that power survived he did chuva he became the king of ninvee and when yonah came to tell ninbe to change their ways he heard and led this movement his sister writes up foreign became Jewish he converted and became a Jew you ready so when the Torah says in three places don't aggravate don't agree with Egyptian parisho don't hate the misery because ultimately Paro became a gayer in his new land of ninvee is that wild wild stuff don't tell my nephew I don't know what hell we'll deal with that when I wake up his nightmares how he'll process that I need a little time to process that not only the power survive not only the power of the chuva power became a girl and joined the Jewish people and that's why it says losses foreign the One Singular mitzri who survived who became a gayer Sparrow unbelievable unbelievable now in that Shabbos I got the Russia I spoke about as I said I'm happy to show the Minima comos but achuva the head of a based in it wasn't a Tel Aviv but inert Israel they had a based them it's the 1950s or 60s and a Nazi came and wanted to convert to Judaism a repentant Nazi someone who admittedly was a member of the Nazi party and it functioned as a Nazi and it participated in the heinous crimes of the Nazis then came and wanted to convert to the Jewish people and he writes a whole chuva what's the halacha we understand that instinctively intuitively morally we're repulsed by the idea that someone with blood on their hands could we forgive them could we wipe their slate clean could we erase their past to allow them to not only be granted forgiveness but odd could they to convert and join the Jewish people but are there grounds to refutes maybe instinctively morally were repulsed but are there grounds are there sources to refuse he doesn't I don't believe he quotes this but this is fascinating towards in that conversation that maybe Paro himself converted unbelievable unbelievable we say this every day in our diving that the Jewish people saw the Alex that Hashem the people revered Hashem they had faith in Hashem and the Moshe of though so there are a few troubling parts of this public which we're not going to get into now one is what do you mean is equating Faith in Hashem and faith in mosheb do had the Torah not said it it almost sounds heretical such level of faith we have faith in people we don't believe in that last week we spoke about all people are equal even though Moshe is the avenavia and one of the one of the 13 principles of faith is to believe in moshe's superiority in some ways but ultimately he's human infallible we do not ascribe Godly qualities to any human being so what do you mean they had faith in Hashem and faith in Moshe so there's some who say that this is that in fact the arivrav misplaced their faith in people and we see this too today rabbitsens we believe in the power of holy people as Role Models as inspiration the power of their bracha there's a long precedent and we believe in it but the moment we deify them the moment we dive into them to put a picture of them in our sitter in our Talus bag in front of us while we Davin that that's the work that's the act of an erivraph we don't believe in that that's heretical they are to help us they are the lawyer who has greater connection and familiarity and friendship with the judge so we invoke their relationship to help us but we're not doubting to them ultimately they're not the judge so khalilah so some saying who were the ones who equated them this is the work of the ear of love means that Moshe it's not via Moshe what do we have faith in bemosha of doe our faith is that Moshe was a loyal faithful trustworthy reliable ever Hashem that Moshe in fact was the ever Hashem but there's another question on this pasok that I'm not going to give an answer to but discuss Hashem what happens first sorry go back up Israel shouldn't you have faith in God and then God Saves you or as you wait for God to save you and then that gives you your faith seemingly to me a little bit out of order that one I'll leave you as a as a question as a question who came back says something amazing because did you ever hear the rabbi under the khopa I'm on the rabbi team the rabbi under the khappa you know in a place where the Rabbi says a few words There Are Places no speeches need more time for the singers to sing the concert can't have the rabbi speak so but in a place where the Rabbi says a few words the beginning so the rabbi will say you know we're not only here surrounded by your parents who love you but the grandparents the nashamas have come down they're here they're present they're felt right for a long time we didn't know what that meant you're either at the wedding or not at the wedding but then Corona came and we had all kinds of weddings that had a million of people there and your parents and your grandparents the present even though they're not physically here on Zoom on Zoom so we got a much better understanding of what it means someone could be there even when they're not physically there Corona exposed us to a much more relatable expression of what it means that you could be there even if you're not there but I want you to know when the Rabbi says that it's not fluff it's not rabbinic hyperbole the rabbi's not just digging deep to come up with something that you should know your parent who passed away your grandparents they're here even though they're not here the Zara Qatar says it the zoharish explicitly says it that when a person makes a simha their loved ones then the shama comes down from shemaim and the nishama is there the nashama is there where the Zara Cutters get it from what does it says it should say ISRO should say the Jewish people saw why is it vayari Israel who's Israel yankovino so the Zohar color says brought yaakov out of the Grave he woke yaakov up from his sleep no he didn't have to do that because Yakov never died the throne never died okay leave that aside for now he woke up yaakov me kivro from his grave to come to the Israel come come you gotta check out the simcha the sea is going to split they're going to stand under the arsinai who is it who's present who did he go get who saw the Miracles who's celebrating the Salvation Israel's Yakov Sabah zaida The Altar thiakov avinu and once the Yakov came new avam time to wake up am en who brings the nishamas of those who are no longer here we need to know that it's not rabbinic hyperbole it's not exaggeration it's not drush we stand under a Kappa and a young person who lost a parent at a young age person who desperately wants their grandparents to be there needs to know they are there it's not there there it's not oh they're there and you know they're there because we remember them we're there because they have the talus that's embedded in the it's not there because you're wearing their special piece of jewelry they're there says the Zohar the nashama is there if you don't believe that you don't believe in the immortality of the Soul people don't die bodies die people aren't buried their body is buried the soul is Immortal and if wants the soul to take a trip back down for certain occasions he can and they can it says they do and where do we get that from it wasn't just benaz ISRO it was yes now we have a Joshua Remini we've spoken a lot about this I want to get to the end of the Parsha we often don't get to we're aim to go online Next Episode it's not two minutes after we come out of these Miracles 10 plagues splitting of a sea above us inside this came back down to celebrate with us but what happens all of a sudden the toe returns pivots right here it's gonna get really bad and by mid bar but it begins to Pivot but you know it's [Music] there fast forward the money falls from shamaim and then what happens Cafe sorry before the month I went too far what happens to the Jewish people here before they get to elim I'm sorry as yashir Miriam where'd you get the instruments she brought him out why would you bring instruments out you're being pursued by the oppressor the sea is in front of you stuck between the Rock and Hard Place why would you bring out instruments if you're only on your way to die they always got it they get it here Miriam leads the women in singing good they go by itself they go three days three days they don't find water we say you can't go three days without Torah you can't go three days without learning Torah you gotta learn Torah no three days without learning to everyone by the way you can't go through this without Torah the altar of kelm says not just you can't go three days without Torah because spiritually we would dehydrate malnourished just like you can't go three days without water but rather he says the same way that you can't go three days physically without water you can't go three days physically without Torah if a person would go three days physically without Torah physically they would fall they'd be compromised so three days and we couldn't drink the water there because the water was very bitter alkane karashma so here we go here's where it pivots we go from a slave Nation to taste Freedom we live and experience Miracles and all of a sudden when we're out we have Miracles what happens right away We complain by Elon of AMA Moshe monaster what are we going to drink what are you going to drink a minute ago you were making bricks building pyramids a minute ago you were suffering a genocide now what are we gonna drink so they cried to Hashem showed him a tree he threw it into the water the water became sweet and there at Mara Hashem gave a round of mitzvos she gave now we gave us exactly what he gave but he gave a certain small round of mitsos and he said good if you listen everything's going to be good the small preview of mitsos that I gave you do them all be good and well and I will not visit upon you all the things I gave in Egypt because I am Hashem you are what's going on over here so I want to tell you something I've told you before and I want to tell you something I never knew or saw ever before the thing I saw before that I love telling you every year it's one of my favorites is the katskar the word kimarim Heim they were bitter they as a pronoun what was bitter simple understanding of the text is what was bitter the water they got tomorrow they drank the water it was bitter they complained but the cutscript says not talking about the water what is him talking about the Israel they were bitter when you're bitter everything tastes bitter when you're sweet everything tastes sweet but if you see the world through bitter glasses if you're bitter and miserable and from this enough then everything will make you bitter then you'll taste and you'll see everything is bitter we wrote about recently in the weekly the missing tile syndrome the missing tile syndrome is that there's a psychological a psychological propensity that we walk into a room and all the ceiling tiles are there and they're all clean and they're all beautiful and they're all perfectly arranged and one tile is missing so we are naturally drawn our eyes not to all the tiles the Mosaic that is there our eyes naturally drawn to the tile that is missing which true physically for what our eyes are drawn to is true metaphysically and spiritually and emotionally we tend to be drawn to the thing and complain about it instead of commenting and praising and expressing gratitude for all the tiles that are in place instead what do we do We complain for all the missing tiles that are not there we tend to complain for the missing tiles Kim marim aim they were better what was bitter the people not the water that is the cutskar who shared the cutska many times before but now I want to tell you another cutscare now I want to tell you quotes another interpretation and I never saw this before has another interpretation says the following the Zara cutter says NASA the repella everything in here he writes is a double repella because it is a double Pella it's wondrous it's wild it's amazing foreign you know the last thing the Egyptians did to destroy the Jewish people on the way out of Egypt was to plant a seed into the men's Minds you escaped you got out you're on your own you've been freed and liberated good enjoy but just know that your children aren't yours they're ours that we had adulterous affairs with your wives and that your children are not yours they're ours ain't benesus God will never dwell upon you you'll never build a holy sacred Nation you'll never be worthy to stand at our Sinai because you need to know that while you're busy baking the bricks we were with your wives and the children you think are yours are not yours they're ours that's what the Zara Carter says taka that might be the most heinous thing that they did could there be anything worse almost as bad as physically assaulting and beating would be to plant that in the mind of the Jew on their way out I never saw this this is a magnificent interpretation of the second we just read what happens here the water is bitter Moshe throws something an ingredient into the water they drink the water and everything's okay does that remind you of anything does the Torah give us something where there's suspicion you make a mixture with water you put something in the water and when you drink it it reveals and it resolves to let you know the truth and that everything's okay what does that remind you of um it's a whole new way of rereading this entire episode it's not that they were bitter and they complained and they had why did I coach Barack who have to deprive them of decent drinking water he got them this far why did he make them dehydrate no no no no because Berkeley did a favor he created a circumstance this is the very first episode of the of the mesota the mayamarim The Bitter Water why because wanted to exonerate husbands and wives towards each others towards each other beyond a shadow of a doubt so there would be no doubt there'd be no doubt because Barker was willing to allow his own name his holy ineffable name to be erased so that there can be Shalom bias between a husband and wife so home the way of reading these which were alluded to it's Medusa throws something in there's an ingredient it's a mixture it's with water it's bitter and now it resolves something it's not amazing it's not a beautiful new interpretation okay you're not as impressed as I am what is this makola that I'm not going to place keep the smattering of mitzis this preview of mitsos obey them follow them listen to them and do them and I will not visit you with immacula what was the Mahala the makola was a hardened heart and a lack of amuna in Hashem we tend to think that the makhala what is the Makala the the ten plagues the suffering but it's not the worst Mahala that the Midstream suffered is to live in a cloud in a cloak of Darkness to not know or see Hashem to live without a feeling of Hashem in their life and that is what he was avoiding okay now though it's Applause Torah has all section on the man because the pressure goes there they didn't have anything to eat they're in the mid barium is no Supply no knowledge for your next meal it fell daily why to build a resilience and to build a faith so is there a Minogue to say this dafka Yom shlishi Tuesday is there such a segula is there such a segula to say on on Tuesday so this is who put together an essay on the subject and he found the following there is no makkar there is no mocker it's traced is the source but even that we don't have a source that he said the dafka you should say it on Tuesday severeign foreign you're not going to be diminished you won't be lacking in your parnasa now I would argue what is the mission what is the saying it's not a skula what do you think if you're Michael Shabbos and your ball Arias and you cheat in business and you're a novel but you Mumble partial Salman every day your paranas is going to flow you think if you're an atheist or an agnostic you're a kaifer you're a Russia marusha but you Mumble the parishes I'm on every day from a cloth with a nigging you think that all your partners is going to flow you're going to remember every day that khaliseral didn't know where it was going to come from oh lo and behold that fell from the shamayim so too I'm nervous I don't know where my next client or my next deal where my next transaction will come from it's gonna fall from shamaim just like the man reading parisha Salman is not an ends it's a means war will earn the parnassa is the genuine emuna advances you can't leave that part out you can't say you can't do this can't put a key in your khala and think oh Parnassus is now going to flow I could do and be whoever I want I'll be ruthless in business I'll cheat and stealing business I'll knock them out of the equation in business but I put a key in my khala but I said man now it's gonna flow of course not it's ridiculous it's not at all not at all the whole custom to say it that does trace to the shock though it's associated with the monach we have no source for doing it on Tuesday specifically says say push them on every day so when you panic and when you're afraid where's my partner where's my next meal gonna come from no you're not the first who felt that way others did and it falls from Hashem now we do have a safer you're safe that does quote to say it you like me probably got 100 people in your WhatsApp and your email sent you a PDF there is a source it claims to quote it going all the way back to Safra yes the though we have nobody shown them who acknowledge that and in our version of this he never said it did he say it did he not say it it doesn't matter say the partial say it today Tuesday say it yesterday Monday say it tomorrow Wednesday say it this week say next week say it say it over and over again say it over and over again say it every week but the goal of saying it is not an end to itself the goal of saying it is to see and feel Hashem in our life because that's what's going to make the difference okay let's see a couple quick ideas on on the moon and then we will call it a day so everyone can go stay part of the month he's got great stuff you got to imagine that's a plus a torah's gonna have fun stuff on them on so let rapid fire let's do some some quick ones yako chamoni ones the following it says I'm going to make from what word is extra in that pasok again peric 384. I'm going to make it rain for you bread from the heaven what word is extra if the non-jewish people would try to gather the man they couldn't and imagine if the Jews tasted from them on what did it taste like anything they wanted if a non-jew tasted from what did it taste like kale doesn't say that but it means that um it tasted like hell tasted like a bitter coarse poor texture miserable punishment of a food tasted like kale where do you learn that from this extra word the man is a gift for the Jewish people not for everyone else you know what fell with the mun IC design pasake the next Posse on Friday says you know what fell with the manam Thomas robe what else were the women gonna wear Friday night when they read mishbach about the husbands were unsure so you know what fell with the money every Friday a new Shabbos robe a new jewelry a new tie a new test package every Friday fell malbushin mabushan fell not during the week during the week was the miracle that it never got old and never got ruined it never they never grew out of it that was what we read later the miracle that I grew with them but for Shabbos just like a double portion of man fell for Shabbos the Demar of the measure say special Shabbos clothing but you have to have special clothing for Shabbos Mr Brewer quotes a different belt different shoes different Talus than you normally wear different suits Shabbos suits we don't wear the weekday clothing at Shabbos and where do you see that because four Shabbos different clothing fell together with the mun another question what bracha did they say foreign shamayam they made a broadcast says it was not food from the ground it wasn't ordinary food they didn't make an ordinary bracha but there are many opinions about this they would make a bracha based on ASAP depends what you ate yet if you had a sandwich if you had kale you made a hagoma or whatever you make kale if you had an app all you had in mind this would be an apple that's how I really feel a body parade so my camera said the bracha corresponded with what you wanted it to taste like foreign from what happened okay could you make the what if you wanted the mun to taste like pork you've always been curious about bacon so you'll have in mind you want the the month it taste like bacon couldn't the monk could taste like anything you wanted could it taste like bacon it's the two of us because it taste like Olive they were in Egypt and they watched the Egyptians of cheeseburgers the month fell and finally this was their chance they were curious what does the cheeseburger taste like so he says foreign you could think about whatever you wanted to think about as long as it is not there you're okay and we find this elsewhere because the wife of a Great Sage said whatever we have in a prohibited State we have a permissible version of it but you're allowed to eat the other of the cow and the other of the cow is so saturated with milk that even though you eat it it's we eat part of cheeseburgers right power of cheese we have all kinds of we have uh what are they called for impossible Burgers they're not bad we have impossible Burgers disagrees so could it taste like something else or could it not taste like something else or what about Shabbos he says here just like the double portion fell on Friday you're not allowed to cook in Shabbos this was your food you had to decide what you wanted to taste like on Friday you couldn't decide onshabba says it was a violation of this to fix the mun according to what you wanted to taste like on Shabbos you had to think about it beforehand was the monosolid or a liquid it was a solid how did you get your Starbucks fill could you make the salad taste like a liquid by thinking about a liquid who thinks about any of these things oats are plus a Torah he has a lot more we're out of time tomorrow morning 10 minutes of meeting living with a Muna we're on for all the mushroom this week stay happy stay healthy and stay home and stay happy healthy and holy
