Shnayim Yomi - Shemot - D'var Torah

[Music] hello everybody over at yomi RAB Yakov Moscow it's here it's been such an incredible journey going through paros together with you over the course of this week I want to thank the shn yomi team for giving me this opportunity to be able to share these thoughts with you I'm truly honored and as well I want to thank all of you for joining in for listening for staying on top of the mikra especially every single day it's really such a tremendous to see that people are so dedicated to the paraa to the Daily Aliyah to get it to understand hashem's Torah and may we all be Z to continue strengthening ourselves in this beautiful Mitzvah of sh mikra you know we all know that when it comes to our relationships being empathetic towards another individual really feeling for what it is that they're experiencing is such an important thing yet how do we get there how do we build up that Mida of empathy towards other people and earlier on in the paraa the PK tells us that when mosha rabenu went out of the palace Byam he saw the pain of the Jewish people he had noticed in particular this one Jew being beaten by a mitzer and Rashi points out that it doesn't just mean that he saw like with his eyes just he physically saw it means so much more than that Rashi says that he was n Ana Theo Leos Matan that means that he focused his eyes and he focused his heart to feel the pain of the Jewish people during that time and Mar hu pointed out that you know if anybody who saw the atrocities of what was taking place in MIT wouldn't they naturally be empathetic towards what was happening I mean why did he have to stop and focus in on what was going on I mean look at what was happening we all know we all know what was taking place Jewish babies were being murdered the Jewish people were working crazy hours excruciating pain building cities like pis and RAM that ultimately the buildings would fall the Egyptians would send them out Into the Wilderness to go collect wild animals and bring them back and so many people died in the process we've all learned how difficult and painful the she and mitan was so isn't it natural to feel empathy when you see this happening especially for somebody like mosha rabenu who was the ultimate sensitive person that's why he was selected to be the leader of Kel because of his care and concern and love for other people and Mara answered so beautifully yeah of course when mosha rabenu saw what was happening he felt for the Jewish people but if a person really wants to feel at the highest of levels if a person really wants to be empathetic towards what's going on it's not enough to just physically see with your eyes what's happening a person has to stop what they're doing and zero in and focus on what's Happening and really think about it internalize it talk to yourself say whoa look at what this person is going through and in turn then a person will really feel the empathy on the highest of levels and that's what mosha rabenu was doing it's so important when it comes to all of our relationships whether with our spouse our children our co-workers Etc that we stop and we think about what it is that they're experiencing whether it be a difficult circumstance or whether it be a positive circumstance it is so important to stop and to zero in on what they are experiencing what are they going through ask ourselves how would we feel if we were in that particular circumstance what would be the emotions going on at that time and in turn that is going to drive us to really feel for that individual and ultimately that will help us grow in all of our relationships I want to wish everybody a beautiful shabas and thank you so much for [Music] listening
