it's time for Rabbi minkowitz weekly
Torah lesson a place where life's most
difficult questions are answered here
with his spiritual perspective and
insight Rabbi minkowitz welcome to this
week's Torah lesson this week's Torah
portion is pares Bo the question of the
week is how can we bring the Redemption
closer so in this week's Torah portion
pares Bo God instructs Moses to bring
the last three plagues which eventually
C parro to allow the Jewish people to
leave Egypt now what's interesting is
the name of the Torah portion is bo bo
means to come now if Moses was with God
seemingly you would think God should say
Le go to par but nevertheless the Torah
uses the word boy which means come come
means coming to coming to somebody if
you're going to the person so the Reby
explains a fascinating Insight the truth
is that yes Moses was going
but God gave him here the secret how
even before he gets to par he can
already come to the ultimate Redemption
which is a lesson for us how we can
already start tasting what it's going to
be like the ultimate Redemption and that
is in the key word boy so in other words
boy is the key to having a redemption in
other words what does Bo mean bo means
as the rebi explains you can go to a
class you can go to a prayer service you
can go to help somebody but you and the
thing you're doing is two separate
things you're going you're staying
disconnected or boy you can come into it
like you're coming into a prayer service
you're coming into a Torah study you're
coming to help somebody which seemingly
it doesn't look like there's much of a
difference but there's a world of a
difference because when you're going so
there you and the experience is two
different worlds when you're coming
means you're be part of it you're
internalizing the experience so when
someone is boy whatever you're doing
you're coming into it like you're
sitting in studying you're not going to
a class but you're actually getting into
it you're internalizing it you're making
it meaningful or when you're praying
you're getting into the prayer it
becomes part of you you're connecting to
the experience or when you're helping
somebody you're not just going to help
someone you're actually feeling the
other person then you can actually
connect and that becomes a Redemption
experience so to answer the question how
can we bring the Redemption closer is by
whatever you do whether it's Torah study
prayer mitvah or any interaction to do
it in a personal internalized way where
you're actually coming into the
experience versus sitting as an outsider

bar may his soul be elevated for the
Torah that we're studying in his memory
