Seize The Moment

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
