Shnayim Yomi - Va'era - Shishi - #6 - Rabbi Elchanan Shoff - Focus on the Right Questions

of this week's parash fulfilled what he said he was going to do the very next day and he killed all the animals of the Egyptians but not even one Jewish animal died but pyro needed to look into this so he sent out his spies and in fact not even one But still and parro hardened his heart after he found that out that didn't die. The mal says listen when it says our sages say that parro survived at the yams meaning no one up to one can also mean one person did survive. Um and it also says a similar thing in parimon but cisra did himself survive. So he Malim says it's implied here that there was one animal that did survive. Um and that's what parro saw. Now Hashem said no animal survived. The Torah says that. But then parro looked into it. He discovered one Jewish animal had survived. And what does that mean? He explains uh says the Malb that there was a Benish Mitzri who had a Jewish mother. And that shows up later in the Torah. And according to Rashi that person had to convert because before Hareni perhaps um that's how the Rambam learns from the of that until Hari a Jewish person who had a Jewish mother but a non-Jewish father would have had to go undergo gay and so this person's what looked Jewish as far as power could tell and there was one animal that did survive the Torah is telling you it wasn't of the Jewish people explains the but couldn't see that um and for For that reason, he hardened his heart. And I want to tell you that's what it's like when somebody finds a question about God. But what about this? But what about that? They find some question, some small question. Like every single Jewish animal was saved. There's one that wasn't saved. You see, the whole thing is nonsense. It's totally absurd. First of all, there's an answer. He just didn't know the mal, right? That's the parro problem. But on a deeper level, we need to know that this is what happens when a person has a question. There is so much overwhelming confident evidence. It's so clear that everything Hashem does is good. Hashem is constantly giving us so so much and a person has a little bit of a question. What about this? What some small question? It's a tiny. Don't focus on the one animal that you're not sure. There's an answer to that. But don't even focus on that question. Focus on the fact that mace mik nothing happened to all the Jewish animals. We have to make sure to focus on the right things and understand that even those questions have answers too.
