The Maharal on Pesach Shiur by Rabbi Simcha Bunim Berger

How many amazing things did do for us? You'll see it's cut off a drop. It'll catch right up. I'm going to read. This is the song. How many? How many mileus are there? 15. Exactly. 15. What's that? The whole was okay. Each one says the maral is another a word the word milo is a step like malit is an elevator how many shales there are 15 15 there 15 mile the 15os explains the morale Now you'll see it's right over here on the top right over here. Right there. Each one is Milo Madrega. Each one goes up. Here you go. Here's a milo madrega until you get to the highest madga which is the building of the base build to be on all of our sins in the end of that we say afterwards where the was. And then what's the big mile? What is the big mile? What does that mean? What does that mean? You know what that means? That means you can be squeaky clean and have no sins. You don't mind. You can be squeaky clean, which means that you messed [Music] up. Don't worry about it. There's a venue through which you can be sinless un without any blemishes. The mil that a person can get to is that we have a mto so that every time we do make a mistake that's the highest that's the highest mga for a person to [Music] be everybody makes mistakes You have a mto. You can always come back to the and do chuva and bring and you can always go back to which gives us the connection to the just like the of course is we can't be like the but at least we're going to have a that when we make mistakes that's aggress they're all a total of 15 mile don't think that the number 15 is you have it over there is that the isra and make sure I have the right yes line down in the middle that's right from up to had exactly 15 steps. He'll get back to that why the moon goes becomes bigger and bigger day after day. How long is that? If the moon reaches its maximum if the fact that there are the fact that each of them and we're talking here that you have 15 different mileas that's the maximum also in our little introduction over there in the safer how many is 15 because that's what we're getting to in the seder. We're trying to get to the it's and we should try to get to where does this come from? This number is the coak which this world was bashim was created and the purpose of this world was created with this number. How so? Shame with the [Applause] name for what are we doing in this world? We're learning this world is everything you do in this world. Everything we do is so we should eventually be able to come to this world. We're passing by. They say you can't take anything with you. That's not true. You take your mitzvah and your that you take with you that you have for eternity. This world was created with the letters yud k to get us from this world to the next. As a matter of fact, the letter itself has a inside of it. It's a ded and a yud. I took that little which represents and I put it inside the dal to create the h. So that you should be able to have so that when you live your life in this world, you should be able to get to the madrega of eternal life. When did all of this kick off? When did this all start? That night. That night is when it all started. That's when we began the trek. That's the time of mitz says the moral something fascinating. Although it's 15, it's really broken up to groups of five, five, and five. speak but sometimes it's good to keep quiet a little bit. Okay. Just makes the 15 that we're doing this is the youth came together or that's the and the cuz you said this will only have five. We're going to do five. Five and five. Five is going to be the hey. Yeah. Watch what happens exactly. Take a look in the middle column. We're skipping ahead. Take a look where it starts to be underlined. The mile there are three different the first five was in their becoming a nation. Their hisavos up until Mitim. Who were we? What were we? A bunch of slaves garnished. We were part of the Egyptian culture. We learned in Zerim no slaves were leaving. We had no sense of self claw was gishen. Kinder they were spilled their blood so that parry can bathe in it when he had saras. Kinderok were thrown in the water. Kinderok were put as bricks into the wall. We were worse than animals. They treated us how they want. We had no mitas. The first five says the represent just coming into existence. The first five is talking about. Let's go through them. was number one and didn't punish the Egyptians for what they did. But not only were we taken out, we're able to see revenge. Revenge for that was an extra of the Okay. brought him with their gods like the Garra says in Sanhedrin we worked for years they didn't pass anything it's about time we get paid up go ahead and borrow this stuff you can't tell them you want to get paid because it's not going to be mask take it anyway just borrow it you can take it belongs to So the first five, the and they took them and then went out and they're their own people. That's the first five Rabbi five middle ones. The next five represents Clus above and beyond the regger. What happened in number six? The yam can't stand in front of claws. That's not just being a nation. Which other nation has the water split in front of them? Nobody. You see the first five, the fact that there are other countries that get independence and freedom. Fourth of July, America's free. Maybe they took some money from the British, maybe they didn't. Look any one of the of the other first five mileus they saw their enemies being being hurt or etc. Nope. That's not above and beyond is it? Of course not. That was the of the of the development of the hay which is shvelt this is the hay from their belvelt but once cla was already a nation we're not stamin nation we're a nation that is above tea let's see the next five next paragraph The first one is not only do we have it was totally dry. They didn't have to muck through the mudish went and made it beautiful. Not only did he split it for us, we once talked about that. Yes. What's that? Yeah. No. No. Our enemies were sunk in there 40 years, you know, cloud is all messed up. We can't go ahead and get to it's too hard that they said that. So the said, "Okay, you're going to stay here." He didn't have to take care of us for 40 years. He didn't have to do that. Could have said, "You stay in the desert." Like Paris said, "Go get your own tan." So you have to go feed yourself. No. Even though the said you have to stay here but he went and took care of us for years and he even gave us from those that's above and beyond the tea they live the way they lived in the desert that is the miler like the moral will say and you'll see on B that's the being is So there the last five. This is being connected to the right. says, "Just like he rested, you rest." like the number one brought us to these five mil says the cat column number three hey Those were the mad of becoming who they are. That means to become a nation. [Music] We're not stamped like one is and the third level is connected to the two and three number five and the middle five and the last five represent in that letter Y where we're above and beyond the te of this world. We're not here like everybody else. How does a nation become a nation here in this world? They're called where do they get an identity? They get an identity because they own a piece of property, right? Ask the Palestinians imam. They want only to go ahead and kick us out because they can't have any place else, right? I mean, we can't be there with them. And they can't be a nation without us being out of there. What do you mean be a nation without that? No, you need property. France has property. America has property, right? Every other nation has property. When Claus became a nation, we left civilization. Our identity was being connected to the that's our identity is not living in a land and take getting our position of life because we own property. It's a milo. Eros is mil number 14. But it's a milo not needed for the essence of the Jewish people. We don't need to own property and become a to become a nation. We became a nation. Where did we go? To a land that doesn't sustain life and yet we're still alive. You know why? Because we're because of where we're going to be forever is you got to go from here to there. You got to pass through the Rebi used to say used to always say in a get you have to write the man's name and the place. It's not because you have to identify who he is. The mim is a mitus. The mim is a part of who he is. It's part of who he is. Clalius is our mitas is we became a nation not through inheriting or going into a place in this world that is sustainable for human life. It's unsustainable. burn our nation. Those are the two milers of we went out of mit and then right away man goes ye can go where man cannot go in the middle of the water and I'll tell you something even a bigger kadesh the rabbit in order for there to be a creation of and all of the world the world was the to say let's split the waters so it can be able to create a world cuz everywhere was mine. So it had to be a miracle that all the waters had to go into had to consolidate. I it can't consolidate. That's part of the miracle of creation. Why did the Bisham do that? Because it was a tourist that was created. That's why he says in Kazal say the waves are always coming. You ever notice the waves are always coming to take back the property. They're always coming. Every wave says in the Gimar the Gmorra is every wave says give me back my land. Give me back you pushed me into the water. I don't belong here. Says plat. So the water is coming to go encroach and take back. That's what happened by the m the water went back to where it was before wiped it out. Who and for why and how did the make because of as soon as that was said I'm not going to have this world anymore gone. of you are people for you. You go at the bottom of the ocean. Any that tries to follow you there, he drowns. What'sim for them? Their mim is for us yabosha is our dry land. And what's for them yabosha is our mayim. We can't live like them. We can't live like them. Claus finished becoming a nation seven days into mitzv. Day one they left. On day seven they went through the yam. They went to a place where there was a new bria of because there was a new ba of called this is going to live forever this is the eternal that was born and that's the secret says the moral and we'll finish of why you had to eat dapka matzah matzah What is the ingredient that passels matzah? Which ingredient? It's flour and water. Which ingredient? Time. If you wait too long, it becomes you have to do it fastus. Then it's not pussle and then it doesn't become clarius says the mar was madga there were madrega that's called an eternal madrega a madrega where they could be connected to the where we can live forever you're my kid you come from a place much higher than anything else in this world. An angel doesn't go to there's no oil for angels. They don't have behemoths don't go to just Jews. We're the only ones. When did we start our path of going to when did we start that? You took us 15 mus. You took us to a madrega where a person could maximum this world to the next world of 15 is the madrega of the of the to this over here. That's the you're on. What day did this happen? It's exactly what it happened. That's the day that it happened. That's when we fuse together and lea how many different stages do we have kasat count them 15 count them 15 because that's who we are supposed to become that's the madre we're supposed to get through through le it's all in the book it's all in the book it's all there which The branch gave us the opportunity to understand a little bit of my gives us the opportunity to share to get through the mile that we were created for to get to find the so we should all be to be to be all the of the all the and all the we should be success.
