it's time for rabbi mankiewicz weekly
Torah lesson a place where life's most
difficult questions are answered here
with his spiritual perspective and
insight
rabbi megaliths welcome to this week's
Torah lesson this week's Torah portion
is partially the question is how can we
go out of our internal exile so in this
week's Torah portion Pacha schmoes we
learn about the Jewish people getting
into the Egyptian exile where they're
forced to work slave labor and then
Perry has a vision that the Redeemer
above the Jewish people has been born
and obviously a power that means free
slave labor is over
so pirate goes ahead and instructs all
the midwives if a male boy is born a
Jewish boy he actually put to death
obviously the Jewish midwives were smart
they were able to keep them alive
etc now when Polly instructed that the
male boys should be put to death so he
said how should it be done throw him
into the Nile so the question has asked
as many ways to kill two people why did
he chose specifically to film into the
Nile
so the Rebbe explains according to
Kabbalah and see to it that the reason
why he told him to put him in the Nile
was because he wanted to create a
spiritual death to them besides a
physical death why what is the
difference what is the what is the
denial resemble because we know that in
Israel where did they get blessing what
do we allow all the crops to grow we
pray to God the rain would come from
heaven in Egypt they had the Nile and
what they said was that everything comes
from the trenches that they made so it
was all coming through the from the from
the power of their hands you know they
didn't look at that it was coming from
God they looked at everyone's success
came from their personal efforts so
Perry was trying to accomplish that of
every every Jewish child should know
we're does your success come from it
doesn't come from God it comes from
human effort and that in itself is exile
living in a world which God created God
maintains and you're believing that
would a success come from it comes from
human effort how did we get healed from
that so Moshe Rabbeinu came and moisture
of a know instilled within us and
awakened within us the faith that we
have from God and because we had the
faith from in God that's how we were
able to leave itleave leave Egypt
so the Rebbe explains when the Jewish
people were in Israel they saw God's
that's called being free when they
initially came down into Egypt and they
remembered the experience from Israel so
they even though they were in Egypt they
still remembered but then when everybody
that came to Egypt
that wasn't Israel passed on so nobody
remembered and therefore they totally
got involved in the Egyptian lifestyle
what awakened them was what their faith
in God so it wasn't because they saw God
it doesn't because it wasn't because I
remember God it was faith that they had
within them the Rebbe says everybody has
a part of motion being a soul within us
and because we have a part of most
romantic soul it's within us we could at
any moment awaken the faith that we have
buried within us and have that powerful
connection to God and then we will
experience true freedom so in other
words if we want to experience true
freedom and go out of our internal exile
by remembering that we have a part of
most Romania within us we have faith in
God if we tap into that faith we will
actually experience true freedom
