Shovavim Series - Parshas Shemos: The Midwives' Fear | Rabbi Nachum Binder

[Music] we are entering the of last year was we tried every week to give over some type of thoughts and some type of from and our during these days of we will try that again this year is brought down in the and in all the earlier about the the uniqueness and the greatness of these six weeks from where every year is given the opportunity to pick himself up from the Tas of to be M and fix the P that was caused through all types of aus and in Yan and kha throughout the year and these six weeks in particular are given to us as opportunity days of opportunity to be able to pick ourselves up and be makak and really we find that there are two reasons why the for this the first reason is because these are the weeks that we learn and we l the parus of G and gas g was different than all other G this far tell us that where is all other Gus we went to Gus because of aus that CL did and therefore we needed G to be G was not due to any Aus was promised at the beginning at the birth of and as we say in the being in MIM was a purification process the Gus was specifically for the reason that we should be able to purify ourselves as a people and be able to be to reach that Pinnacle of to stand under the mountain and hear and since these are the weeks that we learn about G and so these are the weeks where we can every yid has the opportunity of purification of purifying himself and being himself to be to come to that of but the tell us there's another reason why these days are unique the Z tells us that the months of T andat are quote unquote bad months these are the months of a of very hard months very hard for a person to be Mas himself in during these months whereas in the months of Nissan and then following that with and then and our days of were on a high the winter months don't have any and even after once comes by and we finish with the and it comes was that was the start ofik the next two months are down months and the tell us that because these months are down months that's why these months are mugal for tick of our personal how do we understand this concept the T tells us there are two types of there's called the is getting rid of the bad being and living in a world that's only good and this is an for who are to reach that Madre but for us regular people the is there is bad it's in front of us we have to deal with it but we overcome it and the Tanya tells us that just like we find when it comes to food there are two types of sweet food there are foods that are naturally sweet they're good from the beginning and then there's the spicy food which are really bitter but when it's done right and it's Spiced Right and we put the right things in then we overcome that bitterness and that itself makes it taste good of regular people is not the sweet food that are naturally sweet the of regular people is when he faces this struggle and he overcomes this struggle and having that struggle in front of him and working on it that is what brings him to H Madre St for that that's why in the of and in these days of we are able to be Ming ourselves more than the whole year because when the bad isn't front of us when it's taka harder when we don't have that spiritual high of the months of Y that's when the true strength of a yid shines and when we invest in these days that's Ming ourselves and makes us really better people what's the first Mahal and the first necessary action that's required for a hasem and especially in these times the tells us the first the prerequisite of any m in is fear of the unfortunately this concept is a little taboo today we don't like talking about the year it's much more G to talk about how much hasem loves us and how much we love him but the real truth is that the prerequisite of everything is that realization of hasem andus on a simple level and a has there's repercussions for what we do and as the Mish tells us one has to be and one has to take into consideration that there are repercussions for our actions that was the first thing that we find in the parus of G MIT the first test that we find in was the test of the and Miram were faced with a test the king told them to kill all the children all the zakar all the baby boys and they didn't and the tah tells us how were they able to withstand this n do you know what that means do you know what means it means that they were busy thinking and making and realizing that even though the king tells us that we have to do it and even though there are so many reasons that we have to listen to the king our lives are at stake maybe even the whole CLA is is at stake and maybe it's worth it but that that fear of doing that's what gave them the courage and the strength to withstand that in tells us a person has to think constantly have on his mind a person has to be busy thinking about and when one thinks about one is to be able to have the to become bigger and to become better as we enter these days of let us first realize that the prerequisite of any staging the prerequisite of any tick the prerequisite of us being to be able to be to everything that we can be to is year and if we think about it and we take time to think about and to learn that tell us about whether it's there are so many out there in all languages which can help us develop our if we do that we will be to use these days of to its fullest and be to the and together with guns to the sh [Music]
