The Song That Seals the Exodus

we're going to stop here and speak out one halakha as it relates to Krias Shema. So, this halakha is actually a sheer from Maran Rabbi HaGaon Rabbi Shmuel Halevi Wosner, shlita. And that is as follows. The Magen Avraham in siman sameach zayin, this is in Hilchos Krias Shema. So, he's discussing that there's a mitzvah when we learn Krias Shema to mention Yitzias Mitzrayim, right? Why is Krias Shema made up of three parshiyos? So, Shema Yisrael Hashem Elokeinu Hashem Echad, baruch shem k'vod malchuso l'olam va'ed, that's kabbalas ol malchus Shamayim. Then we say V'ahavta, that's kabbalas ol mitzvos, right? That's what it means to be a Jew. But then we throw in the parsha of tzitzis. Why do we throw in the parsha of tzitzis? It's not so much about tzitzis, it's more about because we mention at the end l'maan tizkeru, right? It's about Yitzias Mitzrayim. And a Jew has an obligation to remember Yitzias Mitzrayim every single day, and it's for that reason we mention the parsha of tzitzis, it's our way of being mikayem a mitzvah asay d'oraysa, "Zocher es hayom hazeh asher hotzeisicha me'eretz Mitzrayim." That was in parshas Bo. Later in the Torah it says, "L'maan tizkeru es yom tzeis'cha me'eretz Mitzrayim kol y'mei chayyecha." Every single day. Bottom line, we have a mitzvah to mention Yitzias Mitzrayim, and that's why we mention the parsha of tzitzis. And by the way, if you look at the Birchos Krias Shema, what comes afterwards, "V'emunah kol zos v'kayyam alainu," we mention Yitzias Mitzrayim. Ezras, we mention Yitzias Mitzrayim. We spoke about this already in parshas Bo. That's what's going on over there. The Magen Avraham the end of siman sameach zayin in Hilchos Krias Shema says, "V'ne'er'u d'chol sh'kein umar Shiras Hayam d'yotzei." That the obligation that a person has to mention Yitzias Mitzrayim, one can fulfill by saying the Shiras Hayam. If you say "Az yashir Moshe" in Shacharis d'zimra, by doing that you fulfill your mitzvah asay d'oraysa of Shiras Yitzias Mitzrayim. The Chasam Sofer in his Haggadah on Shulchan Aruch on this Magen Avraham says, "V'ani chayeich b'zeh." Says, "I'm struggling a little bit. I'm not as confident in this psak halakha as the Magain Avrohom is. With this Because if you go through if you go through the if you say of doesn't mention the fact we left it mentions that the sea was split. All it says is the sea. AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE THAT TALKS ABOUT THE TO REMEMBER THE IT says you say the sea. You have to remember the day it says even though say that when you mention you should give a shout out to the sea. But that's like an an extra shout out. But to fulfill the of the sea by mentioning only the sea and not talking about the day the Jews left I don't see how you could be to that. Because at the end of the day when you say you talk about the sea there is absolutely positively no mention of the fact that the actually left the sea. If you take a look at in his book he talks about the book. He quotes the book. He says my son-in-law had going so far near of the sea of the sea. But you say not in the sea. He said he said my son-in-law was messing on this of the that you could be in the midst of the sea of the sea. By mentioning of the sea of the sea. He said the copied the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea. Well I need to say to you regarding the sea of the sea. The sea of the sea of the sea of the sea. He's 100% right. He was right from a that you really can't be your sea. You can't be your sea of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea by simply mentioning the sea. And if that's the case we have a little bit of a on the sea. The sea says nearly the of the sea of the sea of the sea of the sea. The sea of the sea of the sea and the sea says that the sea is to remember the day you left Mitzrayim. Krias Yam Suf did not happen on the day that the Yidden left Mitzrayim. By the way, when did Krias Yam Suf happen? We skip that Rashi. We're in middle. But when did the Krias Yam Suf happen? It happened Shvi'i Shel Pesach, right? It happens on the seventh day when the Yidden left Mitzrayim. It didn't happen yet. It didn't happen when the Yidden left Mitzrayim. And being that it didn't happen when the Yidden left Mitzrayim, l'chumra, how could you be yotzei the chiyuv of skiras Yitzias Mitzrayim by mentioning Krias Yam Suf if you don't talk about the day that the Yidden actually left Mitzrayim? So Rebbi Shmuel Beshtaltzu, incredible mar amar, it's Rabbeinu Bachya. It's in Parshas Va'eira. It's on the pasuk that says "V'ga'alti eschem bizroa netuyah uvishfatim gedolim." So we know in the beginning of Parshas Va'eira, after the Yidden were complaining and even Moshe Rabbeinu said "Lama harie'osa l'ma'an shlachtan?" So Hakadosh Baruchu goes to Moshe and he gives him a whole shmuze Va'eira and he tells him four lashonos of the geulah: "V'hotzeisi, v'hitzalti, v'ga'alti, v'lakachti" and even "v'heiveisi." So Rabbeinu Bachya goes through all different lashonos and what the nuance of each one is as it relates to "v'ga'alti." Says Rabbeinu Bachya, "V'ga'alti eschem bizroa netuyah uvishfatim gedolim." "Zeh hu remez l'Krias Yam Suf." This is a remez l'Krias Yam Suf. "She'az nachshvu ge'ulim." Because it was after Krias Yam Suf that the Yidden were considered to be ge'ulim, "uskalized." "Ki ever d'yotzei min takhas yada adon hakasheh." Because an eved that leaves and is freed from the clutches of his very, very difficult master, "asher mererus chayei b'chama min ish uv'dam" who caused the slave's life to be miserable And for whatever reason, if this master was forced to set this eved free, "oy do eved yarei umispachei pnei adon avacha." This eved is still going to be afraid that maybe this other this crazy guy, this narcissist is going to come after him and he's going to still try to make his life crazy. The and the is not going to be considered complete in the eyes of the slave until he hears when he hears his master died that's when he's going to be able to sleep at night. But until then if somebody was freed about to go home from some crazy person that evidence always going to be afraid that maybe this other is going to come after me. Says the Rabbeinu Bachya. This That's why when they left you don't find anywhere the lotion of Iraq of done it was only after the were actually killed which happened by the immediately afterwards it says by who has by the lotion of that's the lotion of the it was then by on the day of that were considered to be considered to be and that's when the was ultimately says Rabbeinu Bachya that's why it says the lotion is means an outstretched arm. Why is this because and had it the split the the positive says it happened with the that's the and that's the that's a says Rabbeinu Bachya to create yourself. He says that when they left them on Nissan they weren't yet. It wasn't because I mean it's very nice they got out but remember they in the eyes of only went out there in Paris mind they're coming back at some point. And even if they feel like they escaped, but come on, they're always looking in the rearview mirror. They're always looking behind them to make sure that Paroh is not driving too close to them because he may come after them. There was no way they felt safe. There was no way they were able to feel redeemed yet at that point. When was it that they felt that they were redeemed? Vayosha Hashem was Bayom Hu. What does Bayom Hu mean? On the day of Krias Yam Suf, WHEN THEY WERE DEAD. THAT WAS THE FIRST time that they were able to breathe a a sigh of relief. But until then, they still felt like they were in danger. And that's the the doglish of Vayosha Hashem Bayom Hu. Meaning the Yidden left Mitzrayim a week ago. Oh, but Vayosha Hashem that happened Bayom Hu, that first happened with Krias Yam Suf. So said Rabi Shimon bar Yochai, "Farshteit on der Rabbeinu Bachya." Farshteit der is a meriting a zach. And that is that even though the Yidden left Mitzrayim on Tes Vav Nissan, but they weren't go'ulin until when? Vayosha Hashem Bayom Hu. The real Yetzi'as Mitzrayim, the real getting out of their clutches took place when the Mitzrim were dead cuz it was then and only then they were go'ulin. They weren't go'ulin when they left Mitzrayim cuz they're looking behind them. When are they finally free from the clutches? They're finally free from the clutches when they actually leave Mitzrayim and the Mitzrim are no longer a threat, they're no longer able to come after them. It's then and only then. But the bottom line is what emerges is is that Krias Yam Suf, that Krias Yam Suf isn't just something that happened to finally kill Paroh so that it'd be the kavod and it would be the manyado. Yeah, that, of course, but it was also the hashlamah of Yetzi'as Mitzrayim because until the Yidden had Krias Yam Suf, until Paroh and his chevreh were dead, the Jews cannot feel safe despite the fact they had left Mitzrayim left Mitzrayim. They physically were not in Mitzrayim, but they were fugitives, they're on the run, and they know it's only a matter of time. Right? Parri is holding press conferences throughout Egypt. It's just a matter of time. You know, we've unleashed all our resources, and we're using all the modern technology that we have to track them down. And trust me, they're a large group of people. They're in the Sinai desert. They're trapped all over the place. We're going to get them. We're going to hunt them down. Are they going to rule them? I don't know. They're not physically in Metrayim. Come on. But they're being hunted. It was only after Parri was finally killed. That's That was the That's when they were finally out. Cedric The emphasis is it's a matter of medicine. This is such a good marker. In the Brisbane of when told what was going to happen, So we spoke out already many times that the said that was not related to the right? The was the punishment for the Egyptians for the fact that they enslaved the Jews. In fact, actually says the The was a punishment. After the was done already, then it was the If you take a look at the We spoke at the in the first year. Here's another innocent. The nation that's going to enslave the Jews dying I'm going to judge the with 250 markers. And then And after they receive their 250 markers, you're ultimately going to be able to get out. So I'm going to punish them with 250 markers, and afterwards, they're going to leave Metrayim. 250 markers. I thought it was 10 markers. The It's really only three. What's 250 markers? But everybody who's ever sat at a seder table knows what it means. Right? Me neither. Marker marker. It was really 50 makos, not 10 makos in Mitzrayim, and 250 makos at the Yam. The makos that we say in the Haggadah shel Pesach is shitos Rabbi Akiva. Do it 250 makos at the Yam. So says he says the 10 makos. It's more than 10 makos from the Haggadah. 250 makos. But here's the question. 250 makos And then afterwards they're going to leave with great wealth? They left before 250 makos. They left after 10 makos. Or you want to go with that bracha in Mitzrayim to do with 50 makos. Not 250 because the 250 FOR SURE WAS WHEN? IT WAS AT THE YAM SUF. SO how could you say 250 makos and then only afterwards they're going to leave with great wealth? It's m'vor from here that the Yetzias Mitzrayim was not nishlam until Kriat Yam Suf. Because it was only then that they were finally out. It was only then that they're not being hunted anymore. Because otherwise physically this second they might not be within the borders of Egypt, but they didn't They're not considered to have left until they're free, and they weren't free. Because the chevre is still coming after them. Rebbe Nachman says when are they free? That's when the salvation took place. And if that's the case so it was first 250 makos with Rabbis, all the makos that took place at the Yam Suf and only afterwards It's only afterwards that you can say that they left that they left with great wealth. Another mar makom that he stole to was a Vilna Gaon. We mentioned the Gemara last week where the Gemara says that when the Yidden left Mitzrayim, so Hashem tells Moshe beg the Jews. Right, beg and tell them that they should go out with all the riches of the Egyptians. Rashi says, why do you have to beg? Like it's really they just wanted to get out. They don't need any money. Obviously I'm sad that I'm afraid of who was going to say that By the Bris bein hasharim was foretold that Yidden would be slaves and then they would leave with his God. I don't know who was going to say the first part you want to have and for the second part you have to eat some already. No, no, no. I want you to fulfill the first and the second. Everybody asks the kasha, could Hashem have given the Yidden God? So shouldn't have I guess Hashem has to give the Yidden he said he's going to give God. Because who is a bump bump after we say in the Haggadah. That's the reason has to do with the Vilna Gaon in his parish in the Sefas Brocha says It's not a kasha on God. Do you know why? Because he was going to give the Yidden the God. You know when they were going to get the God? We'll see about it in the next year. That was the Yam. Because we know by the Yam the Yidden went and they swept away a lot of more stuff that they hadn't previously got. And that was supposed to be the Yam and God. God was afraid for one week have a little sip. I don't know who would have he'd say I don't know when they left Mitzrayim. I thought when they physically leave Egypt they were going to go God. Oh, you mean the Yam? I don't want to have even for a week. We bump after we were going to get it after the Yam. BUT WANTED US BY they should get it as soon as they leave but the guy first class says a pillow. What do you mean they're going to get it a week later? king with his God. You see it's with me. The actual exodus is supposed to be for God though. How is it a terrorist TO THE GUY? GET IT A WEEK EARLIER. The terrorist says The terrorist says until the answer. God willing at that point, you could be with at that point. Another few beautiful I would have added I would have added to this is Number one. We don't want this is one day of young thief and every other day is right. So because you have a day of young thief and then you have a week of night. Seventh day is a China rubber. And then you have but that's regular at the time. Right, so because it's made up of a first day young thief. No second day is young thief. It's really a terrorist. A little bit of a misnomer. Pay sack is made up of a first day young thief and a seventh day young thief. Right, it's one less day of night. Pay sack then there is night so because it's a door. Right, what's the reason for that? Because the terrorist says We saw that The Jews were told this already when they were in the tribe. So we know there's a first day and a seventh. What's the we should have already talked about this. Like why is pay sack different than so because you would think they would follow the same format. They're so similar, right? So why is it that pay sack is the first and the seventh and when it comes to so because it's only the first. What's the young thief of the first day pay sack? Why is it a terrorist? Because that's the day that the youth didn't actually left the tribe. They left the tribe on that day. But really really it is the tribe started on that day. When did you see us in the tribe man? It ended on the seventh day. It shall pay sack which is when I'm so happy. That was the of the tribe. Comes out on pay sack this two days of Yitziat Mitzrayim. THERE'S WHEN IT STARTED, WHICH IS the first day, and when it concluded, that's the seventh day. That's the Yitziat Mitzrayim happened on the first day. The Yitziat Mitzrayim happened on the seventh day. That's the reason why the seventh day That's the reason why the seventh day should also That's the reason why the seventh day should also be considered a day of Yitziat Mitzrayim, and that's why the seventh day is also considered a Yom Tov. The M.S. The M.S. says Rav Schwab said if you look, it's a Meforshei Yerushalmi. This Yisod that's coming from a Rabbeinu Bachya, this Yisod that's coming from a Targum Yonasan, this Yisod that's coming from a Vilna Gaon, really, really, it's a Meforshei Yerushalmi. Ready for the Yerushalmi? It's in Eruvin Pesachim, it's Halacha Voch. K'siv, B'froyach Yisrael. B'schnayim Am Boruch Hashem. Says the Yerushalmi. What does this mean? What it means is that when a Kodesh Boruch takes Nekama from the enemies of the Jews, so the Yidden are supposed to sing Shira, right? Says the Gemara, Hasivoin Harei Gulas Mitzrayim. Right? How could you say that? When the Yidden left Mitzrayim, they didn't sing Shira. Isn't it interesting? The Yidden left Mitzrayim, they didn't sing Shira. When was Az Yashir Moshe? When the sea split. But when they left Mitzrayim, they didn't sing Shira. Shanyo, he says the Yerushalmi in Yerushalmi language. Yitziat Mitzrayim is different Shehitchilas Hageula. Cuz it's only the T'chila of the Geula. When was the Hashlama of the Geula? When they sang Shira. When did they sing Shira? They sang Shira on the Yam Suf. It's a Meforshei Yerushalmi. Yitziat Mitzrayim when? It started when they left Mitzrayim. But the Hashlama of Yitziat Mitzrayim took place when? That took place when the Yidden left the Yam Suf. So just to put together, right, that we spoke about in Parshas Bo with this read by right here. We had mentioned the Gemara in Maseches Brachos daf tes amud aleph, where the Gemara says "Hakol modim, everyone's modeh, k'she nigalu Yisrael miMitzrayim l'nigal al ha'erev." That the beginning of the Geulah happened in the evening. "She ne'emar, 'V'otzi'acha Hashem Elokecha miMitzrayim laylah.'" And everyone is modeh k'she yatzu, when the Yidden left Mitzrayim l'ma'aseh, "Lo yatzu al ba'yom." They left during the day, as it says, "Mi machar Pesach yatzu b'nei Yisrael b'yad ramah." Right? Another braisa. "V'otzi'acha Hashem Elokecha miMitzrayim laylah." "Ki ba'laylah yatzu, ba'laylah yatzu al ba'yom." "Elo, m'lamed she'sxivu lahem geulah mi'ba'erev." That the Geulah started at night. The aschalta d'geulah of Mitzrayim started by Makas Bechoros. That's when it started. It started by Makas Bechoros, that was chatzois of the laylah seder. The Yidden physically left Mitzrayim when? On the day, that next day of tes vav. But the leaving of Mitzrayim, in the words of the Yerushalmi, was also part of the aschalah of the Geulah. When did that the Geulah finally come to an end? That was by Krias Yam Suf. That was by "Vayosha Hashem bayom hahu es Yisrael miyad Mitzrayim." That means Makas Bechoros was the aschalta d'aschalta. Yetzias Mitzrayim, physically leaving Mitzrayim, would happen on tes vav, that was the haschlama of the aschalah, and the haschlama of the entire yetziah. "V'ga'alti es'chem miMitzrayim v'hotzeisi es'chem v'yosha Hashem bayom hahu." That took place by Krias Yam Suf. This gives different ponim to understanding Krias Yam Suf. Krias Yam Suf wasn't just when the Mitzrim finally died, it wasn't just when the world opened up and the Yidden were able to see things that they had never been able to see. Krias Yam Suf, understanding this on a little bit of a deeper level, is actually it's the conclusion, it's the haschlama, it's the haschlama of Yetzias Mitzrayim. And that's why when we celebrate the Yom Tov of Pesach, on the first day we talk about when we left and on shel Pesach, we go to the you make sure you don't get wet, right? Because it's real and you go and that's what you're supposed to that's the because part and parcel of this it's part of it starts of didn't happen in one second it happened in phases part one part two was when the didn't actually left and part three is because it's not just the way the are being killed it's when the are finally free when they don't have to look behind them now they can feel like they left now they're to be there's a part four by the way part four is when the are the I just gives a little bit of a deeper meaning to all the of and the whole theme of four that underpins the entire let's say that with the and when we start realizing and being that you see actually happened in in quarters four right very interesting something we'll get back to but the bottom line for now is is that just coming to a little bit of a deeper understanding of of what was the reaction to they sang that's when they sang what was the we know the we say it every single day say that if you say this because there's incredible schools that comes put down by the right incredible schools coming by the way the next year is the school of the year after that is of course the school of so we're going to have schools coming up in the rest of the and that we will pick up in the next year
