good day of shabbos we spent seven all
years strengthening our munna through
the lessons of the moon on this week's
parasha here's an amazing connection if
you look at the end of the parsha
there's a what's called the simmon to
remember how many verses there are in
the parasha
it says the following kuf tetzaim sukhim
which is the gematria the numerical
valley of the words
rav
one of the great giants of the literally
the last generation who just passed away
maybe two three years ago
so he wrote on each one of these
an idea
so if you look carefully it says
and it also another semen is
says with david i'm reading this from
the art scroll
he says the following the expression
yada muna hand of faith is borrowed from
1712 and alludes to the strengthened
faith that the jews had when they saw
the hand of god punishing the egyptians
at the sea the words
phonetically related to sinat hatred
alludes to the hatred that amalek fell
towards israel david feinstein such
beautiful worship of david feinstein i
want to add a lot of the lessons that we
were sharing throughout the earliers
really jump out in these words
and perhaps we could say
a little bit more to what the david was
saying
is about making our hands feel the
yamuna we mentioned that sometimes we
could have the knowledge maybe even our
heart is feeling it but do we experience
it is the reaction
really reflecting the idea that we know
that everything that happens is biyad
hashem that's the yadimuna
and sinner who represents the ultimate
battle against this faith
against this deep
trust in hashem that's of course amalek
if we think about it the great
descendant of amalek who was that we
mentioned this haman he got credit for
what he did his
great-great-grandchildren ended up being
the students in benebrach but at the end
of the day he was a horrible
and terrible russian wicked man
and he got punished and he got destroyed
and his children got destroyed and his
wife got destroyed
but homan also represents something even
deeper
so the villain tells the secret and the
vacuum and then tells the secret that
germany is really stemming from hormone
germany is really amalek
germany is coming from aesop
this is by the way a gemara in
massachusetts megillah hinting to this
concept
and if we think even deeper
hitler
was the one that wrote in his own book
that the jewish people
we've
afflicted
the humanity
with two afflictions
what were those two afflictions that we
afflicted humanity with
consciousness to the
soul and circumcision to the body
now let's think a little bit deeper what
that means
circumcision to the body means control
of nature
control of our bodies
transforming transforming our bodies
into holiness
consciousness of the soul
represents the idea that we are
conscious of the fact
that there is a locust there's godliness
in the world
there's scarring on us this punishment
and this reward this world is real
this world
is imbued with godliness
this world is the path
pathway to the next world
this world
the more we recognize and bring hashem
into the world
the more we are living the goal of this
world
and really the purpose and the ultimate
purpose is to have this conscious
feeling
this conscious experience
the connection and the relationship with
hashem
can you imagine
we were chosen
to have this special relationship with
the infinite being we the jewish people
we were given this amazing task
to be able to be the teachers of
humanity
and all that
is what
haman will battle until the end
somehow he was put in this world and
that was germany during the war they
were willing to sacrifice everything it
doesn't matter somehow they knew inside
of them that's their mission
and our mission is to come out with a
torture vimuna the torch of faith a
torture
of light and to be the light onto the
nations have an amazing chavez
