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 Pasha shos the question of
the week is what should be your attitude
when someone is in trouble so in this
week's Torah portion par we learn about
God sending mosh renu and Aaron to Paro
to inspire par to allow the Jewish
people to leave so MOS and Aaron come to
par and say God wants us to take the
Jewish people out of Egypt par responds
and says why are you bothering them let
them do their work and then par says to
Moshe go why don't you do your work and
what was moshe's work he didn't have
work but he meant to say is go do what
you normally do your home you have the
exemption and mind your own business why
are you bothering
them now most could have said okay to
God I did my job I went he said no and
he said listen thank God that I'm free
why am I you know getting involved with
them be happy that you you don't have to
work but you see the re brings out here
this is the difference between the par
approach and M's approach pari's
approach is you're okay why were about
the other person you're comfortable
what's your concern when someone else is
in trouble what's Mo's approach even
though yes I'm comfortable I'm free in
Egypt but if another Jew is suffering
I'm going to stand up for him help him
fight for him until every single Jew has
the same Freedom as I do why because
we're all part of one nation and if one
person's in trouble we're in trouble too
so to answer the question what should
your attitude be when someone's in
trouble as long as the other person's in
trouble you should not rest until you're
able to save that person
this week's Torah lesson is dedicated to
the memory of B Ben and schomo Ben yose
May their souls be elevated for the
Torah we are studying in their memory
