The Weekly Chaburah on the Parsha (Bo) - Rabbi Avrohom Walkin

okay now harsha's boat as departure begins with I shouldn't telling Moshe come go to pyro um that go to Paro and I hardened his heart and obviously the first one was asked an obvious question they asked why is it that in um why is pyro punished if I shed hard in this heart it's famous questions to ask why is pyro guilty if Hashem hearted his heart so the refreshem explained that the first five were really Pyro's Choice once a person commits certain sins over and over again automatically it's hard hardens and it's very difficult to change that now they do say that it was possible even though Hashem hardened it but it was very very difficult because that's the punishment that's the punishment in a way for committing certain crimes over and over again and not learning from your lesson so the next possible and that for the future generations to know the month is in order that you should um tell into the ears of your children and your children's children the Mercury that I made by and my signs that I put on them we adopt them and they will know forever they will know for Generations so basically Hashem was telling Moshe that the mockery that I did I need you to tell it to your children and your children's children so there's two questions here question number one is why does he use the lachon of tesapeake why say it into the ears of your children what is the point of the Torah telling you say this into the ears of your children all the mockery that I did all it has to say is tell your children like all the other times that the story tells Moshe to tell the Jewish people apply as well something it uses the law shows speak to the to the children of Venezuela why does it say the lushan of input into the ears of your children what message does Hashem want us to learn when we tell our children something into their ears that's question number one question number two you understand the question question number two why do you have to tell your children and your grandchildren all it has to say is there's a commandment to tell your children and automatically every father has that commandment to tell his children in other words all that I say is whispered to the troll to your children's ears there's a fee of that you have to an obligation that you do this and then every father has that obligation every father automatically has that obligation so question number one is what's the purpose of telling us whisper into their ears and question number two is why does it have to mention grandparents involved when all it has to mention the involvement of grandparents when all that has to mention is a father's obligation to a son and automatically it means one father to a son and then another father to a son what is the message so I saw an unbelievable thing actually regarding the binha telling it into the ears of a child what does a person do when he attempts to tell something to someone in his ears what message is he trying to convey there's two things that could be happening here number one is a lot of noise a lot of noise and there's a lot of noise you gotta whisper in somebody's ear otherwise he won't hear it right if he's a little further away from the person and there's a lot of noise like at a wedding or or certain people in certain place is what people here have a lot of noise in a stadium where people are cheering like crazy you gotta almost whisper in the guy's ear otherwise he's not going to hear you no matter even if he's close by so the message Hashem was saying to Moshe was that there's gonna come Generations in the future that are going to deny and they're going to try to rationalize all the Miracles that happen and they're going to try to say oh the reason why the water flowed was because there were tsunamis it was natural it was there was a lot of nature involved so therefore there's a lot of static say it in such a way to your children like you're whispering in the air let it be so alive to them let it be so real to them that when they hear it it's almost going to be like as if you whispered in the air not literally whisper in the air but it's as if you whisper in the ear whisper in the air means it's so clear and so powerful that all the static from the outside won't affect like that they're it's beautiful bark that static should not affect them another shot also is when you whisper something in somebody's ear you're sending the message of the value of what you're saying you want people when you whisper you say I want you to hear this it becomes personal already it becomes such a personal thing that the person takes heed and listens more intensively to what you were saying because you took the time and whispered in your ear so again Hashem is tell emotion say it in such a way that it's so clear to them so personal to them so powerful so tangible as if you whispered in their ear so that explains the concept of whispering in the air but it also explains tell it to your children and their children too where it doesn't just mean father to son but grandparents to grandson say it in such a way that automatically because of the clarity of the way you said it and because of the passion and the care that you said it it will almost be automatic that the father will tell his son and his son will want to tell it to his son so it's an automatic reaction because of the clarity and the care and the personal that you explained it to such levels that automatically one will say I'm going to tell it to my son too so it's not saying that a person has the Commandment to actually tell it because to the grandson but tell it in such a way as if automatically it will trans it will trickle down to someone's grandson so those are two and that's why we have the pace of seder that's why we have the pace of State I mean we try to remember try him every every night every day when we say you know when we make Kiddush we mentioned so we try to Envision the the greatness of the TS mitzvahim at least the leaving of Miss Ryan that's also because you know as a slave that's freed you have an obligation to the one that you know freed you so automatically hashems brings down retry many times and we do we bring it down because of um that that obligation that we have to the one that freed us but say it in such a way where automatically and that's and that's the explanation of chalice why is a generation's called it's a chain reaction but a chain is not two pieces a chain shot shell is custom slosher three in order for a chain reaction to be called a chain or a continuation of a chain you need one two and three you need three pieces it's not a chain if it's two it's just a connector you need three to be called The Chain why because in order like the grandfather who tells his son who tells his son so the whole concept of Judaism is something that should be so powerful that it's like a chain like a shellus but fascinating about Charles is you can have a chain how does a chain look you have one piece this way the other piece is completely opposite but then the third chain goes back to the original which means that there could be even a skip of generations where an example somebody's father is rabbis maybe the next generation is not but because of that shall shell us because of that Foundation the third generation has that opportunity to go go back to the original Source because that's what a chain does it connects but it connects even at different different way of of the train connecting its original first form so that's Charles shallis now I want to tell you something very powerful my grandfather says an amazing thing that when the Jewish people when the Jewish people left they were ready to leave Egypt and the market was actually about to take place it says that Torah teaches ushono that no dogs barked no dogs barked when the story of the market bahura took place and the tour is teaching you that this was an unbelievable act by the dogs now the question is why would a dog bark why would a dog bark so the gemara actually bubbakama base says that whenever there is death in a city whenever the angel of death is in a city the dogs have a certain sense where they start barking it's a gift that Hashem gave them a certain sense maybe it's to warn people and you know you even see this like caviarco I don't want to say in movies but I was going up for the little kid sometimes we saw a show where somebody God forbid was about to pass away he would hear the howling you would hear the dogs barking it comes from that it actually does come from that that dogs barking is a sense that they get when it comes to death you know like I said maybe to warn people but it's this extra sense that they have so here the Torah is teaching that no dogs bark when the angel of death came um or Hashem came down to take to kill the Marcus but who wrote but the dogs did not bark but it's such a powerful thing that the Torah teaches us in two different places that because the dogs did not bark what happens we throw them on the Vela all carcasses or all carbonate that are navela that cannot be eaten or that were not sacrificed properly what do we do with these carcasses the Torah makes a Commandment that we must give it to the dogs now we know there's not an extra letter in the Torah the Torah going out of its way to tell us that we must give the dogs our navela it's very it's obviously something we must try to understand now what is the benefit also that the dogs didn't bark I didn't explain that yet if Claudia 12 would have had the dogs barking plus the screaming of the Egyptians dying it would have caused a lot more confusion and a lot more stress for the Jewish people so even that minute stress that the Jews obviously they're leaving and it's exciting and they're being free that minute stress was a gift from Hashem to show us that Hashem said we are not going to cause even a minute extra stress on the Jewish people when they're leaving so therefore the dog's not barking actually made it less stressful for the Jewish people so they get rewarded but to that level where they get rewarded with twice the Torah is telling you that they get the carcasses that's one of the questions that why why do why do they get such a great reward for such a seemingly minor thing seemingly minor minor thing also to add to that I don't know if you know this but in partials bashallah I remember growing up as a little kid I still remember Mom is going as pre-winner in first grade I don't remember much of all my learning but I actually remember this that in partial bashallah our teachers in pre-winning kindergarten first grade even they would we would make on the Parsha bashalah we would make um we would make special bird feeders do you remember this even teaching bird feeders and then we would put it out on the tree and it was special for the partial why because of a special act impartial bashallah that the birds did what did the birds do um told the Jewish people that the mon the man will fall the man will fall every day but it will not fall on Shabbat therefore Friday Thursday night Friday the month will fall double portion it will remain fresh it will remain fresh and you will have enough for Shabbat because of that the normal should be done no work should be done and therefore the man will not fall on Shabbat so because I'll teach us that there were two people Dustin and naviram that what did they do they wanted to show that moshrabino was a liar and caused a tremendous ripple effect in Claudia Israel by doing what by putting mon in front of moshe's tent now how much money are we talking about we're talking about a very minute level because everybody was only allowed to take a certain amount so they were going to put a certain amount from the moshe's tent and believe it or not it would have caused a ripple effect in by the Jewish people that most Rabino is not telling the truth in certain manners and therefore it would cause a lot of people to go off from following the Torah and mitzvos which is very fascinating in itself because why would a little bit of mun by most rabbin was 10 cause miles of Jewish people living in encampments affect affect the Torah and and Judaism why would that why would that affect so we learned an unbelievable thing what the question yes the question is that does it in the Navy room we're going to put some of the man on Shabbat in front of moshe's tent and then moshabbin would look like a liar and it would cause a tremendous ripple effect like I said where people are going to start to deny Moshe and the Torah and mitzvos which is very fascinating because how much could they have put already a little bit well therefore most of the liar obviously somebody put it there maybe but when somebody wants to find fault it's also a very powerful thing when somebody wants to find fault oh he'll find fault in the minutest and and he will take it to a whole different level and I'll take it to a whole different level so what happens the birds come a miracle happened and birds came a seemingly Miracle a seeming Miracle came and they ate the mun from from the front of moshe's tent so unbelievable thing the birds did right the birds went and they took them on they ate it because it's not it would have been a tremendous catastrophe and by the Jewish people that Moshe is not Ms he's not truthful and therefore it would cause like I said that effect and people would go off um from the from from their brains in Judaism so but the Torah doesn't talk about it the Torah doesn't reward them we we bring home little bird feeders that we put on the on the on the trees but the Torah specifically doesn't mention any reward that the birds get for doing such an unbelievable Act of of goodness um an important important thing that they did so why did why were the dogs rewarded with twice Torah teaches us that the navela is given to the parks as a given to the dogs but nothing is mentioned about the the wonder that the birds ate ate them on and saved saved Collies by the way saved the Jewish people to a certain degree so my grandfather and many others I think have said this that we see an unbelievable thing how Hashem judges and Hashem Rewards a bird it's nature is to eat a bird loves to eat so the fact that the birds ate like when they did something that was natural for them yeah it was a great thing they did but it was natural so they they ate they ate do they love to eat yes the effect was a it was a very you know important effect for the Jewish people but it wasn't anything that they went extraordinary out of their comfort zone for a dog not to bark it went against its nature for a dog to not bark in that situation when it gets its nature therefore Hashem was teaching us that when a person goes against this nature no matter what it is every individual has its own challenges but when you go against that nature Hashem rewards you tremendously and Hashem wants us to know that that going against one's nature is worth tremendous amounts of reward so that's a beautiful answer my grandfather that I think I've seen it by one or two other places but it's a very powerful lesson of what it means to go against one's nature now what I also want to discuss very importantly tonight is the Holiness of the Jewish Home the Holiness of the Jewish Home most Rabino tells the Jewish people tells Claudia that they must bring a carbon PESA a Passover Lamb and there's many laws that go into the land many laws that go in about breaking bones and not taking this and not doing that and sleep and has to be roasted as we roasted full many many laws there's a homosexual just on the holiday of pesach but most of it deals with the actual carbon pestic itself and and it's a it's a very very unbelievable from all the carbonate why the Passover Lamb why the pace of lamb is so important and vital in Jewish survival but we're not going to discuss the actual problem that's not we're just going to discuss a few things that teach us the value of the Jewish Home the sanctuary that we call the Jewish Home Jewish people are in between they're about to leave they're getting rid of the getting rid of all the avodas there are and all the all the Tama and all the contamination that that was that was that they were exposed to in Egypt and they're heading out wherever Hashem sends them across the yard Israel obviously they said that they have to stay longer 40 years but they're on their way to their land so makes sense you're on your way you're leaving a bad place let's just get out of here and what we're gonna do is then we're just gonna move forward yeah there's a Commandment that we sit that night and we bring the carbon PESA and we bring family members to the to our tables and we make a whole to do that particular night why what what is the purpose of of this making this pesacher the first pace of seder in Egypt with the Passover Lamb in a contaminated place so you would think just get out of here let's just get out of here that's one question question number two part of the mitzvos of the day of the of the Passover Lamb is to take the blood and smear it on the doorposts to smear it on the doorpost of your of every individual's home but where do you smear that you smear it actually in the in the inside of the doorpost not on the outside in other words we wanted a show that we're taking their avodazara and we're shafted their idol worship the sheep and we're taking the blood and for whatever reason Point there's many different explanations why we put it on the doorpost but we're supposed to put on the doorpost what I want to focus on is why was it done on the inside where only the Jews were celebrating Passover were able to see it yeah we're inside what do you mean in other words you close your door and you put it on the inside not on the outside the middle and so the inside wow so the inside on the door they put it inside where they only can see it correct what was the purpose of that you would think that if we're doing that we want to show let it be done on the outside that's question on regarding the blood also there's a halacha that you're not allowed to take any of the carbon PESA and bring the meat outside of um of your home you're not allowed to bring any of it out almost like you have to stay in your own you're not allowed to take any of the meat and take it outside of of your house what is the purpose of these two particular mitzvotes so I actually saw a beautiful beautiful explanation that the pace at home that first night of Passover in Egypt that first pace of Satan that the Jews celebrated was actually the pace at home became a small betamidash it became literally like a small Temple a small bedtime for the Jews living in the in that house why because Hashem was teaching that the foundation of Judaism the foundation of the beneath Israel of Claud Israel is the Jewish Home The Jewish Home is no we're not going to wait till we leave to establish our Jewish identity our Jewish home but we're going to actually in Australian that first night that we're going or about to leave establish your home establish a spiritual home established a house of Torah and mitzvos therefore even before you leave Egypt that establishment has to be has to be set up therefore the blood was not for the outside it was for the Jews inside and taking the meat out of the beta mcdash same way you're not allowed to take meat out of the Bedtime you know I'll take anything kodish that's Mecca dish you're not allowed to take it outside of that's macadesh for the bathroom without you can't take it out the meat of the carbon pasta had the din of kodesh and you weren't allowed to take it out of your home because your house became so the foundation of Judaism hinges hinges on the Jewish Home and Hashem said we're not going to wait and we see that even by yahudah when yaku was going down to mitzrayim he sends you Huda to Goshen to establish a bet knesset of Batman a house of FILA House of learning why because before he even enters metrium that that needs to be the first thing that it's established before you even walk into a place like Egypt so the same way before you walk in you need that establishment before you walk out you need to know that you've established that home so as you go out into the Into the Wilderness anyway you already know that you had your first PESA seder already in midrand not even animatron in Mitzvah where you still were officially slaves in a way they didn't work but they were in the place in the in the jails that they were in the neighborhood of where they where they suffered right but that is the most unbelievable lesson of what it means to establish a Jewish Home and and it's very important that all of us understand that you know we always want the Hackamore children sometimes sometimes don't always follow in the path that we would like um you know we try our best the question is what do you do in your house what message do you send in your home and I want to tell you last night I got a phone call from someone very special person and he asked me about his daughter actually going to um to Florida for winter break and then the mother got on the phone and the mother actually said these words to me she said my home is the foundation of my children the home is where my children grow and I want to make sure that my children are always available on Shabbat because I know that I can give them what they need spiritually once they're out there I don't have control if I'm not there if I try my best to keep them as much as I can in my home Shabbat for for different things you know a lot of times we have we're very easy to send our kids to places and then we won the why when we sent them they came back it wasn't a good experience because you didn't have the foundation of the home doesn't go with them sometimes you're hoping that you build such a foundation in your home that when your children move on they take that and build their own homes but the foundation of the home is where you where the parents set up their home and where they collect their children and you try your best to keep that home spiritual you try to best keep that home as strong and as the foundation as as powerful as you can so listen Miss Shem when some of you are going to get married obviously and you're going to build your own homes you got to remember it's not about doing things on the outside of your home it's more importantly what you do inside your home you know I know a lot of people that they go on vacation and they tell me oh and I go to Cancun or I go to this place and I go to that place I don't I'm not so careful on the kashrut why but in my Jewish Home oh I'm very careful that's beautiful but but you but if you go other places then your foundation doesn't go with you there's a I mean the foundation itself wasn't strong enough you need to know that when you build your Jewish home it's a foundation that lasts for generations to generations and that's the whole purpose of the best of seder that we know that Judaism the strength of Judaism begins from the pace of saying it says that the Moon that a person gets he'll get it from the passage and it all depends on how you conduct that pace of seder you bring family together you don't go you know people do I've gone away from Pace like I won't say I haven't but it hasn't been it's not the same I'll be honest with you I'm I'll fool myself if I think it is it's not the same when you build and you when you do your pace of seder in your own home and you bring people into your home and you bring the two shot into your home that's powerful the pestic theater in your home that night in your home and as many people as you can to bring in the the better because you're showing that the four walls of your home are kadosh Are Holy and you want to conduct your Torah and mitos in your home so I want to wish you all a um a good week and to build to build our own special homes our own foundations and that will be powerful enough like grandparents children that one will pass it on from generation to generation foreign
