Rabbi Minkowicz Weekly Torah Lesson Parsha B'shalach

welcome to our weekly tour lesson this week's torah portion is partial the question of the week is what is our spiritual work so in this week's torah portion at the end of the torah portion we have the command to eradicate the name of our malik we know a multi came to start up with the jewish people when they are in the great high after they left egypt we know amalek numerically equals 240 which is the same numerical value for suffolk which doubt and amalek is there to bring doubt into our relationship with hashem so hashem says in this week's torah portion i will erase the name of amalek and in the in torah portion in deuteronomy where it speaks about eradicating the name of amalek so it says tim you should eradicate so the rabbi asks a simple question why in this week's torah abortion let's say some is going to eradicate and deuteronomy it says tim how we should eradicate if hashem is going to eradicate our molex what do we have to do and if hashem gave us the job then why is hashem doing it so the rabbi explains something very powerful and each other as we know that the seal the choice and the seal of hashem is emes that's why you forge god forbid god's seal it's not true ms truth is made up of three letters aleph men self and we know brings brought down the commentaries oliver's the first of the alphabets members the middle and suffers the end so emma's truth goes from the beginning to the end so the same thing also says here the shema is teaching us the approach to eradicate anything in our life which is not which is not positive which is negative and that is the avodah of emis everything has to be infused with truth so hashem is telling us ms what's the avoid of eradicating on malay so in this week's torah porter says it's the first two letters of emes is the aleph is the mem and in deuteronomy where it speaks out we need to eradicate so it says timha which is the last suff of hashem's name so in other words when it comes to eradicating amalek and you want to do it in the level of truth you need hashem to do his part and we need to do our part hashem doing his part alone that's amazing but we still need to do our part us doing our part we have to remember we still need hashem's help so the answer to the question what is spiritual work spiritual work is when we do our part and hashem does his part and as we do teamwork we're not alone we're on the same team with hashem doing the avodah of eradicating evil and bringing positivity into this world which i want to mention is this week is yuchabat the anniversary of the passing of the previous rubber and the rapper took over leadership and we know that from day one when they ever took on leadership trevor said i'm going to be there for you but you're going to have to do your part the rep is there for us and with us and everything that we do but we also have to do our part and that is the true spiritual work the rep is there for us we need to do our part and together we'll make this world a great place where hashem will be revealed down here in this physical world thanks so much for joining us for this week's torah lesson this week's torah lesson is dedicated to the memory of bhararaq labe shlom and yosef and sleep all may their souls be elevated by the torah we're starting in their memory have a great and blessed week shavu atov for more information please see our website chabadswf.org have a great and blessed week
