Shnayim Yomi - Haazinu - Sheni - #2 - Rabbi Aryeh Siegel - The Shirah

Shaney Now the real the Shira starts. If you're looking at safer Torah how it's written, it's set up like a Shira, almost like as Yosha. Where there's on one side is blank and then there's on the other side. So there's a few stages to the Shira. This first is going to discuss in the beginning of each Aliya I'll point out which stage of the Shira it is. So from Shaney to Shlishi is going to be it's going to discuss the kindness that Hashem did for us, how he chose us as a nation from all the other nations, took us out of Egypt, and protected us with Ananei Hakavod. And so on. So then now starts the kindness of Hashem. So it says, ask your parents, ask your grand- grandparents all the kindness that I did for them when I when I split up the world in the days of the Dor Haflagah. If you look if you want to go a little bit more in depth, the Pirkei De Rabbi Eliezer says that Hashem has 70 ministering angels. Each one is in charge of one of the nations. In the Dor Haflagah when Hashem divided the nations into 70, he made a goral. He cast lots so to speak to see which nation will fall under which angel's auspices. So and Klal Yisrael fell out in to be in Hashem's portion. That's what the pasuk says over here, Ki Chelek Hashem Amo Yaakov Chevel Nachalaso. A chelek of of Hashem is his nation, that we ended up in his lap. But I think I once saw the Shem De Baal HaTanya says, why did Hashem do it like this in a goral? You know, it's not like you know when you and me make a goral it's like leaving things up to chance. But Hashem is not supposed to be leaving things up to chance. So he says that a very big chiddush he says, the reason is because if it would be based on an action that you do, that's why Hashem chose you. So then if you're going to go back on that action or you're going to stop doing that action which causes the avah, so that will undo the reason of why Hashem chose you. But if you leave it up to chance so to speak, a goral, it happened because I chose you not because of anything you did. I chose you because that's that's how it fell out. We did eeny meeny miny moe. So then I can't undo I can't undo that avah, I can't break that bond. Even if you no matter what you do. Cuz it's not based on anything that you're doing. So, that's how Hashem chose the Jews to show you that the Jews there's no way that that that that could be undone. So, that's Ki Chayr Yagdil Gevul Isroel Mispar Bnei Isroel. So, Hashem set up the boundaries the 70 different boundaries of the nations according to the number of the Jews that the number of the Jews that went down to Mitzrayim was 70. So, that's connected to the 70 nations. Then describes Yefas K'nafayim Yisaeni Hashem took us on his wings you say while they're resting and the pasuk ends off before Shlishi Hashem B'dad Yancheinu Hashem alone by himself is who guides the Yidden. No one else, no Melech HaSadeh, no Malach, just Hashem. And it could be the reason for that is someone once asked the Kotzker he he said where is Hashem? So, the the Kotzker said back wherever you let him, wherever you invite him in. So, by Jews there's a siman in Shulchan Aruch I think it's in Rishonim or Rishonim Tes. It says B'chol Derachecha Da'eihu. The Gemara says L'shem Shamayim. Everything you do, not just the mitzvot not not just when you're stopping or refraining from doing an aveira, but when you're tying your shoes, when you're eating, when you're sleeping, if you the more you involve Hashem B'chol Derachecha Da'eihu. The Gemara says even a dvar aveira that if a person is connected to Hashem in every situation he's zocheh to this hanhaga where Hashem is alone is who guides him. That takes us to Shlishi.
