Shalom from K it's a pleasure to have
the opportunity to share some time
together to share some Torah thoughts on
the
upcoming certainly the climax of the
physical Redemption from MIT of time
wasam after all at one moment the Jewish
people were faced with a terrible choice
of to die at sea Jan at sea or to die at
the sword of the
mitz but at the next moment the Jewish
people they're singing songs of
Salvation to on Redemption on the C yamu
on the splitting of the sea immediately
after K yamu the P say
rash over there
says what was the need to force them to
continue their travels Rashi explains
that the mitm had covered their chariots
with gold with precious metals and the
Jewish people were involved in
collecting that gold and mosha Abu says
it's time to move
on the Aon the saer schl Tor raises the
question we don't understand after all
just a week earlier the Jewish people
were very much encouraged by mosenu to
try and to take to take the booty
from so they're the Jewish people
they're told to take the shalal from MIT
and over here the Jewish people they're
told let's move
on so to be able to answer this question
we need to try to First understand
what's the significance what's the great
meaning of
the after all already 400 years
beforehand when told
about about
the tells them well they're going to
leave
eventually
so must be something very important very
significant about this R
RAB quoted in
the suggests that the significance of
the is not in the itself but rather it's
indicative of the fact that the Jewish
people were leaving MIT not as runaway
slaves but rather as free men after
all a slave isn't given gifts a slave
can't doesn't have the ability to accept
gifts when the Jewish people they're
given gifts upon leaving MIM that
indicates that now they're free men
furthermore generally speaking a person
looks down on a slave despises him
doesn't give him gifts when the Jewish
people
received the ABI from
the when they given those gifts that's
an indication that they're being sent
away as free men however there's another
approach in
the on that one that is
suggested
by and the safer Ms quoted in the
MD the famous explanation he points out
the
following that discusses this topic the
there
relates
won't
complain
sohu is asked please tell the Jewish
people that they should please ask the
MIT for the so won't complain very
strange says the mag after all
obviously Ms is going to fulfill his
promise regardless of whether aam will
or won't complain so the M explains
based on famous mushel of some child
that works for his neighbor he mows the
lawn cleans up the yard Paints the house
after working for a number of hours he
comes to receive his payment and and the
neighbor he gives him a check a check
for
$100 nice payment for a few hours of
work the fellow the kid comes home to
his father and complains I worked for
such a long time and all I get is just
this piece of paper so the father tried
to explain to him well this piece of
paper is worth a lot of money kid didn't
didn't understand so the father goes to
the neighbor and tells the neighbor you
know and I know that this check is
certainly something valuable but hey my
kid doesn't
maybe you could give him some shiny
coins to now make him happy give him
some shiny pennies and when he grows up
he'll understand that in fact what you
gave him the check is of Great
Value along several lines
says the complaint of
arino would be the following certainly
arino recognized that the that was
spoken of the was promised to Abu is
referring to the Torah the Torah Jewish
people are meant to receive just a
number of weeks later but the problem is
that the Jewish people on their level
the Jewish people they're coming from
me they couldn't understand that the
T they did understand they were able to
relate to they had a very difficult life
there in MIT so they expect to get that
they could appreciate the they could
appreciate that's the that's that's the
that they get from the so that's the
explains the true is certainly the T
Jewish people are meant to receive out
of however the Jewish people on their
level wouldn't necessarily be able to
understand that
yet at that level in terms of where
they're holding so says the
this was all true that they weren't able
to appreciate what is really meant to be
before
mad before the experience
ofam but
atam the Jewish people that have this
awesome spiritual experience they're
able to so to speak see God's presence
then already the Jewish people are on a
higher level then they're meant to be
able to understand what are the final
Finer Things in life they meant to be
able to understand what's
truly then M says hey this is kids
stuff let's move on let's already go for
the
true let's go for that which is truly
important theat of the upper y
certainly if you compare the world's
view of a fellow that did not have the
opportunity to spend time Ina and one
that did have that we're talking about
two very different
perspectives hopefully one of the things
which we've picked up as a result of
developing as B Torah as a result of
being able to spend time Ina is an
understanding of what's truly what's
truly valuable what's truly important
there's a humorous anecdote told of a
certain Jew that lived in some Torah
community that thank God had a very nice
panasa and was interested in buying some
new fancy car but he was a little bit
his wife was a bit concerned perhaps if
you buy that car people are going to be
jealous it's going to make people uh
feel bad so the fellow wanted to consult
her up believe I heard the story about
Consulting R
kski in any case so the fellow comes to
the r and tells him explains his dilemma
the r says well hey tell me do you know
Shas well do you have a good handle on
Shas so he
says not really you know once I
participated a bit
in is there any asked the that you have
a good command
on um I can't really say so any mitzvos
that you are outstandingly performing
says well you know I try here and there
but
nothing says the r jealous cuz you have
a new car why are people going to be
jealous of
you so every person every Community
every individual on his
own his own system priorities his own
things own list of things that he's
jealous of plus it says in
m
if you're going to be jealous be jealous
of the fact that the next fellow is more
involved in Torah more involed than
MIT hopefully this P will be able to
celebrate our freedom from not only the
physical bondage but also spiritual
bondage will be able to grow in Torah
feel the spiritual experience
of ofam be able to March towards
the and the that in fact takes place
every
day
