welcome welcome this week's topic is
seize the moment grab the moment while
it's there this week's
paraa starts
off and heard what he hear he heard
about what happened with taking the out
of and he came to join the is Rashi says
what didra
hear that was the impetus for y to come
what specifically did y hear that caused
him to come join the Isel so Rashi
narrows it down a bit to two items
number one Rashi says he heard about K
yamu he heard about the N of K yamu and
number two Rashi says he heard about he
heard about the war that the B Isel
fought against amalik and one and this
caused is to come and want to join the B
Isel in the midbar in the desert there's
two questions on
this number one we just had a whole Tri
all the mo and everything what was it
specifically about these two Nim
aboutus yamu andus amik about the
splitting of the Sea and the war against
amalik that caused is to come number two
is it almost seems funny to equate these
two niss with each other I understand
that everything's a nce but at the end
of the day Kus yamu was a supernatural
wonderous thing the medish tells us that
it wasn't only the yamu the water of the
yam of that split but all the water
across the world split as
well yes they may have been a stronger
Nation but the end of the day it was a
war that the wor won against amik and we
understand we're not going to say yes
was but still it almost seems funny to
put both these two n on equal footing
with each other number one that they
were both the impetus for y to come and
join the B is so what's the what's the
reason why specifically these two things
caused the is to say you know what I got
to come join the Isel in order to
understand this I think we need to dig a
little bit deeper into what is signified
by Botham the splitting of the sea andik
the war against
amalik let's analyze yamu first so the
vill say when it came to K yamu there
were really two groups of B Isel the
first group of the B is the first group
of yid they were true M they were True
Believers in
they knew in what happened they went
straight into the yamu not worrying
about what was going to be the second
group
of the says that the second group they
didn't believe as much they were nervous
and it wasn't until they saw that the
first group of yiden went into the yamu
and were safe so they said you know what
we're going to go in as
well
the takes it a little bit a a step
further takes it a little bit further
than the villain the and he says
that the yamu that c yamu actually
happened twice there were two times that
the split the first time was when the B
were coming through the second time says
the was that the yam split again for DUS
and aam DUS and a had been left behind
in MIT they were first coming now to the
yam of after the B had already crossed
if you want to understand what the what
DUS were doing in m
you could listen to an
awesome but in any case do came after
the toam and says the that the sea split
again to allow DUS a to
cross now you have to realize that cus
yamu besides for being a supernatural
tremendous wonder which it was but it
also signifies aes's love and aes's
acceptance of the
do a were the whole reason whyu had to
flee MIT because they were going on
telling on M to that he killed in MIT
they were the whole reason why mhu fled
M and even ran to midan to y in the
first place
yet love for is always will to take us
back to the point where there's even a
second split of the sea a second creat
yam for who just for DUS
a this is tremendous tremendous
inspiration that you could take from
that no doubt saw but amik on the other
hand
theik that signified the exact opposite
of this amalik also saw saw amalik also
saw what the rest of the world saw they
saw that there was this that there was
this tremendous Supernatural n that KES
did for the B Israel like we said before
the measure says that the water all
across the world split amalik knew that
this cus yamu had happened yet instead
of taking the inspiration what did they
do they took the opportunity to jump to
double down to fight with the B Isel and
to have a war with them to try to
conquer the B right after K
yamu in pares at end of the par when the
tur describes what happened with the m
with the warik the tur describes it says
um that when aik chaned upon you on the
way on the way when you were leaving MIT
Rashi says that What chan upon you Rashi
says that the root of the word K is the
word car cold that what happened that a
mik cooled off rash gives an example of
boiling hot water that a mik cooled off
the boiling hot water they cooled off
the inspiration that the rest of the
world had by jumping in to fight is
thereby Paving the way for the rest of
the Nations to do it as well after C yam
all the nations took a step back they
said wow look what look what just did
for the Isel they were frightened they
were blown away they were not about to
start up with CLA but came amalik and
amalik cooled off those feelings amalik
jumped in right away ready to fight with
is thereby cooling it off for all the
other nations of the world so not only
did amalik not grasp onto the situation
but they actually cooled
off the inspiration for everybody else
so you have these two things in front of
you you have on the one hand the
tremendous inspiration the tremendous
inspiration that shows the love that
kades has for cl shows how he's willing
to always take us back and on the flip
side you have the exact opposite you
have aik saying not only are we going to
choose not to be inspired but we're
going to ruin it for everyone else we're
going to ruin the moment for everyone
else it's not enough to just be inspired
we can't R the fact that we're inspired
to take us through the times when the
when when it gets tough and when it's
hard we can't rely on this inspiration
we once had to carry us through those
difficult times when we have a moment of
inspiration we have to take an action we
have to do something to cement that
inspiration to make sure that whatever
it is that we wanted to change whatever
it is that we wanted to do we're going
to be able to carry through just like y
did when he has this inspiration after C
yamu what does y do he doesn't say I'm
going to stay back in midan and serve
Hashem for my comfortable kushy spot in
midan he doesn't say you know especially
considering the fact that he's only with
for a very short time before he goes
back to midan yes says no no no no no
I'm inspired I see that I have this
moment of inspiration I see a Malik
going and how quickly they could cool
off this moment of inspiration I'm going
to get up and join the benel in the
desert because I have to take an action
to cement this
inspiration it's the contrast of the
inspiration of cus yamu with the cooling
off of inspiration of aik that caused y
to say I'm going to come and join the B
right now the ker
re says in the
says this literally means the P literal
translation is that see that I gave you
a good acquisition don't forsake my T
the K says that there's another way to
learn the you can learn it like
this when you're gripped by good when
good takes over you when you're struck
by
inspiration I gave it to you saying this
inspiration didn't come out of nowhere I
gave you the
inspiration do not let go of my
do something right now to make it last
inspiration is just a motivation it's
powerful but it doesn't last but
inspiration followed by an action that
turns into momentum and that Propel us
to where we want to go and where we want
to
be let's try to live a little higher and
really seize the moments and grab onto
the inspiration take some kind of action
to ensure that we could hold on to it
before it disappears
let's realize that nothing kills
inspiration like
procrastination
