Rabbi Moshe Haber Pesah: Breaking the Slave Mentality: Finding the True Redemption 4.7.26 · Rabbi Moshe Haber - Daily Mussar/Weekly Perasha

• 0:01
  Tonight, really going into tomorrow is Shirisha Besa.
• 0:07
  What's Shirisha Besa? So it's the day of Kriya Amsouf,
• 0:14
  which means that there was a Yamaha with that Messiah.
• 0:18
  We told Parol we're going out for three days and Parol allowed
• 0:23
  us to only go out for three days after or after Macabre wrote and
• 0:26
  all. And then eventually, eventually
• 0:31
  AMI sail was able to continue going out and by the word that
• 0:36
  we're not coming back and they started to chase us.
• 0:39
  And then by all that and the Wuhim and Bahatis and these were
• 0:42
  a little bit backing into a corner as running away because
• 0:47
  if it was Hakim tell us that there's really nowhere to go.
• 0:50
  There was nowhere to go and we ended up encamped by the by the
• 0:55
  AAM Souf and Para began to chase.
• 0:58
  And the pastor tells us you've got to chase with his men and
• 1:01
  his army and their horses and all the soldiers are to chase
• 1:05
  army sale. Now a couple of things.
• 1:07
  What made them chase? So parole convinced them because
• 1:11
  of the fact that we had taken the gold and silver.
• 1:13
  That was the most upsetting thing to the Egyptians because
• 1:16
  we had taken the gold and silver officially to borrow and now
• 1:19
  we're not coming back. So parole convinced them to come
• 1:22
  chase us to get everything back. So now we're by the yam and we
• 1:26
  know the pursuit didn't tell us about the yam and I'm his cell
• 1:29
  is terrified and Musharra Ben was praying war, praying by his
• 1:33
  haku. We're praying to Hashem and then
• 1:36
  the basuk says Hashem says Mata Takala.
• 1:39
  Why is everyone screaming and why is everyone praying to a bit
• 1:42
  of a Soviet cell to just continue travelling?
• 1:47
  Continue travelling where forward straight streamings walk
• 1:50
  right into the water and we know the camera tells us and a member
• 1:54
  of Chevy di Udah Nakshon Banamea Dove was the first one to jump
• 1:58
  in and he gets a classic title be like Nakshon.
• 2:00
  Nakshon is the one who jumped in and he jumps into the water.
• 2:04
  The water goes up to his neck because the water had not yet
• 2:07
  split so he had no plan going up to his neck and then it splits
• 2:11
  and then we walk right through and then there's a host of
• 2:14
  Khayam Suf and then the killing of the Egyptians.
• 2:17
  The question is that this is another stage to it's
• 2:22
  Yamatzayim. Why do we have this additional
• 2:24
  stage? Hashem took us out, He took us
• 2:27
  out. We're going out.
• 2:29
  We left Messiah, we're no longer slaves.
• 2:31
  We're out of the country. What is this additional stage?
• 2:34
  And they're splitting in the sea.
• 2:35
  What does it do for us that was not yet done before?
• 2:38
  We know we came out already already already free.
• 2:41
  What does it do for us that was not yet done before?
• 2:43
  Question number one, in a similar vein, why is it at the
• 2:48
  word Gila, which is a term that we use for Itziov and science to
• 2:52
  be redeemed. We say one day we're hoping for
• 2:54
  the coming Gila, right? Gila is the word for really
• 2:58
  being redeemed. That term is only referenced
• 3:03
  once this stage happens, which means though it said the refers
• 3:08
  to stopping one part of the issue in Egypt to be a Saudi.
• 3:13
  Another Part 1 is a slavery, 1 is coming out of the land, but
• 3:16
  the redemption term we have the four terms or it's ETI,
• 3:19
  vitality, vigality, vilakakti, lakakti, being taken to Hashem.
• 3:24
  We know that's matanzuera. We can understand that because
• 3:27
  you've been coming close to God. The marriage with God, so to
• 3:29
  speak, is matanzuera. But the term gila, redemption is
• 3:36
  only utilized, only applied once you have the splitting of the
• 3:40
  sea. Why does the splitting of the
• 3:43
  sea and all that comes with it be the first reference to
• 3:47
  redemption? Isn't leaving the country
• 3:49
  enough? Isn't stopping the slavery and
• 3:52
  leaving the country enough? Where does where does splitting
• 3:56
  the sea and all that came with it?
• 3:58
  And to the Gila? The third question.
• 4:01
  So the first one is why do we need this stage?
• 4:03
  Secondly, why is this the stage that brings the term Gila?
• 4:07
  And thirdly, what happens immediately post coming out of
• 4:12
  Ayamsuf? How we see the Egyptians, our
• 4:16
  enemies, our original bosses, our original masters, laying on
• 4:21
  the yam as Yahshi Moshe. Then we sing as Yahshi Moshe
• 4:27
  will bring yourself to Shiraz. Then we give that cheetah.
• 4:31
  This is considered the first real Shira in the world.
• 4:35
  And this becomes one of the most powerful moments in world
• 4:39
  history. When I'm saying that Hashem
• 4:41
  wasn't just singing, what it was was a revelation of who Hashem
• 4:46
  is. We started to we made Hashem
• 4:49
  King through this process. We started to talk about the
• 4:52
  coming of the building of the Bethe Macdosh.
• 4:55
  That was part of our song, right?
• 4:57
  Zeh Khalifa and veil. This is my God.
• 4:59
  I'm going to glorify him, which meant building the Bethe
• 5:02
  Macdosh. All the story of all the future
• 5:05
  glory of Hashem was reference in this song.
• 5:08
  So it's a major pivotal moment in world history.
• 5:12
  The song that we sang once we came out of the arm.
• 5:15
  So the third question is, why did the song only happened once?
• 5:21
  The sea whispered once this moment happened.
• 5:24
  Why don't we sing beforehand? We came out of Egypt, Why don't
• 5:27
  we sing? All three questions, our major
• 5:30
  questions, they all point to the same area #1 why do we need an
• 5:33
  additional stage 2? Why is the term Gilao redemption
• 5:37
  only reference at this point, Not earlier at three?
• 5:41
  What do we sing only now? So the answer to all three is 1.
• 5:46
  Simple clear idea, but isn't the answer is David.
• 5:51
  Hello, Still there, still in charge.
• 5:54
  And they felt like you were going to come back and they
• 5:58
  weren't really free free yet. And they see him.
• 6:01
  Dead. The answer is, and that's the
• 6:05
  theme as they have heard of the Amisal having the slave
• 6:08
  mentality. Throughout the time in Egypt,
• 6:11
  they had a slave mentality which was and they got used to the
• 6:15
  mindset that they're limited, They got used to the head that
• 6:19
  they have masters. They couldn't think outside the
• 6:22
  box of being a slave. They couldn't even imagine doing
• 6:26
  more than being a slave. And in their mind, more than
• 6:29
  anywhere else, they were boxed into this world and we are
• 6:33
  working. We are slaves, we have
• 6:36
  limitations, we have our masters and it's never going to change.
• 6:40
  That was on their mind. That was the head.
• 6:42
  In fact, most classic evidence without that asks why did I sham
• 6:49
  send Musheda Beno, the one man who was our leader?
• 6:52
  Why did God send Musheda Beno to spend many, many years, I
• 6:55
  believe 70 years outside mitzvah living in median right.
• 7:02
  Musheda Beno came back from outside the country to make us
• 7:07
  go free. And beforehand, what should have
• 7:09
  been it was raised in the House of Paro.
• 7:11
  He wasn't raised among on Miselle.
• 7:14
  Why? Debonizer says.
• 7:17
  Because any Jew lived among that society, lived among the Jewish
• 7:21
  people, I guess even Chevy Levy, any Jew had a slave mentality.
• 7:26
  They couldn't imagine doing great things.
• 7:30
  They couldn't think about leading.
• 7:31
  They would never think about going free.
• 7:33
  It wasn't in their mind, it wasn't even on their radar.
• 7:36
  Even if they believed in Hashem, going for you just was not in
• 7:39
  their plans because of the structure and the mindset that
• 7:43
  they lived in. Imagine centuries of slavery.
• 7:47
  Centuries of slavery to me. That's all I know.
• 7:49
  That's all I'm made-up on. It's called comfort zone.
• 7:52
  Exactly. And that holds you back.
• 7:54
  Slavery. My father, my grandfather, my
• 7:58
  great grandfather, that's all we do, right?
• 8:01
  Generations. I had a conversation somewhere
• 8:04
  recently. They asked me how do people
• 8:05
  actually go to the Army? You hear all about the Army and
• 8:08
  the soldiers and all those different things.
• 8:10
  What makes a person go to the Army, right?
• 8:13
  So one of the main things that makes me go to the Army is my
• 8:15
  father did it, my grandfather, they have army families.
• 8:18
  It's part of the structure. That's, you know, maybe a
• 8:21
  positive thing. Thank God we have such people.
• 8:23
  The same thing is true and this type of mentality as well.
• 8:27
  It's just what I'm used to. That's what I'm based on.
• 8:29
  It's my structure and I cannot think outside of it.
• 8:33
  So more shit. I've been who coinsed Ebenezer
• 8:35
  had to grow up in the House of parole, which was like a Prince
• 8:39
  and grow up and mid yon outside the Jewish people outside
• 8:43
  witnessing the slavery. So he can have a different kind
• 8:46
  of hand, different kind of hand. And the Jewish people, even as
• 8:51
  or being freed, even as we're leaving the country with our
• 8:54
  strength, witnessing Makat Pichorot, we still did not know
• 9:02
  and did not believe that this is possible.
• 9:04
  We didn't believe it can be done.
• 9:06
  Huh. What's the difference?
• 9:10
  Between young soup. Good.
• 9:14
  The difference was very important.
• 9:17
  I want to close the door because, sorry, the difference
• 9:22
  is they were not this part of the beauty of this concept.
• 9:27
  They weren't questioning if they believe in Hashem.
• 9:30
  There was not the challenge. They already by now believed in
• 9:33
  Hashem. They learned 10 makot, 10
• 9:35
  miracles. It was clear as they what they
• 9:39
  believe in. It was the issue.
• 9:41
  The issue was do they really have paro out of their mind?
• 9:47
  Do they really recognize the fact that now a Jew is
• 9:50
  unlimited? A Jewish future has no
• 9:52
  limitations, has no boundaries. You can reach the sky.
• 9:56
  That's the issue. Not whether or not they believe
• 9:59
  in. I mean, you could be a person of
• 10:00
  great faith, and yet you still can have many things in your
• 10:04
  mind that hold you back. Every person in their mind has
• 10:09
  assumed the limitations. I can't learn this.
• 10:11
  I never did it before. I can't pray this.
• 10:14
  It's hard for me to read. I can't get involved in this
• 10:16
  area. I I always fail in that area.
• 10:19
  I can't do this line of work. I can't become a boss.
• 10:21
  I can't use you have these hours.
• 10:24
  I can't really raise children properly or grandchildren or
• 10:28
  whatever. Maybe I can't get along with
• 10:29
  people. I didn't always have a problem.
• 10:30
  Every one of us has limitations. They come from our past
• 10:35
  experiences. They come from people around us
• 10:38
  who say random comments. They come from just the way your
• 10:42
  mind thinks and the way your mind where your mind goes
• 10:45
  different things. And they all they do are they
• 10:47
  hold you back. They keep you where you are at
• 10:49
  Bay. It's not a lack of faith in
• 10:52
  Hashem. It's a lack of faith in
• 10:54
  yourself. And this is something that
• 10:57
  requires a little bit of a bat breaking through, shattering
• 11:02
  that glass. So I'm yourself at the witness,
• 11:05
  literally witness the midst of the eme, their masters laying
• 11:09
  down on the beach, laying down the hop ayam, watching them
• 11:14
  asmath ayam. And then you see them laying
• 11:17
  there. Sadly, unfortunately, the
• 11:19
  Egyptians had to die. You see them there, you know
• 11:21
  your master is gone. It's little like watching your
• 11:25
  limitation be broken through. You're told in your mind all the
• 11:29
  time you can never be a free man.
• 11:32
  You can't be a master. You have masters, but then you
• 11:34
  see the masters are gone. See, now you know you can be
• 11:36
  free. It's like a person who's been
• 11:38
  told you can't learn that subject.
• 11:41
  You're not good in that area. And then they find out, they sit
• 11:43
  down, they learn the subject. Hey, it comes much easier than I
• 11:45
  thought. You can't pray that thing.
• 11:48
  You have a hard time reading. Hey, it reads much easier than I
• 11:50
  thought. Or you can't get along with
• 11:52
  people. And lo and behold, maybe they
• 11:54
  didn't work out to me other times in that specific area, but
• 11:57
  now it's working out. How do you explain that?
• 11:59
  Maybe it didn't work out in that area.
• 12:01
  You can't hold that job. Maybe it didn't work out in that
• 12:04
  job, but now it does not. They can.
• 12:05
  There's no such thing as limitations.
• 12:07
  They're made-up by other people who don't really know you.
• 12:12
  They're made-up by your own mind who doesn't really know your
• 12:16
  current strengths. Whatever else gets into our
• 12:18
  mind, there are limitations. And now our job is to break
• 12:21
  right through those barriers. And until I'm your cell did so,
• 12:25
  they didn't feel free. And that's why they needed as
• 12:30
  they did, they needed to see the Egyptians.
• 12:32
  And that's why the Gulah is only termed Gulah once we get past
• 12:38
  that point. And as Yashira, the Shira only
• 12:41
  happens once we get past that point.
• 12:43
  This is the theme that a person has to have in their mind at all
• 12:47
  times. And then they're able to sing
• 12:49
  and they're able to be free and able to have the full beautiful
• 12:52
  self, the Shira, the special time that we're in is only
• 12:57
  doable once they breakthrough where you call them, maybe you
• 13:01
  turn them demons, limitations, control box, as you say, for
• 13:06
  comfort zone, you name it. But all these things are
• 13:09
  different ways that people remain the same.
• 13:12
  And you say, why don't they ever change?
• 13:14
  Why don't they ever push forward?
• 13:15
  Because someone told them that they're going to fail something,
• 13:19
  told them that it's not going to work out.
• 13:21
  Forget those things, forget those mindsets.
• 13:23
  Believe in the fact that just like you have faith in Hashem,
• 13:27
  you have faith in yourself and you believe like Moshe Binar
• 13:31
  believed that he can be a leader.
• 13:33
  We all can be leaders, right? This is the reality, this is the
• 13:36
  mindset. This is the beyond how him
• 13:39
  follow me on this point. I think it's one of the most
• 13:43
  I've had someone. I haven't say this about giving
• 13:48
  away details. Someone box me in, all right?
• 13:52
  Someone shaped me. Someone years ago told me you're
• 13:56
  good at this. You're not good at that, right?
• 13:59
  They were just trying to, I don't know, put every person in
• 14:02
  their own box. So they told me your your role
• 14:06
  should be this. And someone told roles should be
• 14:08
  something else. And they boxed me into a role,
• 14:11
  right? And it took me a while to Get Me
• 14:15
  Out of that box. All right.
• 14:17
  Why? Because they, they touched me
• 14:19
  up, as they say. They gave me a description and I
• 14:22
  was stuck with that description in my mind.
• 14:24
  Did they know any better? How did they realize what they
• 14:26
  were doing? No, this happens to people.
• 14:28
  Happens to me all the time. So and so could say you're good
• 14:31
  at that, which means in a sense you're not good at the other
• 14:33
  thing. And that's all made-up
• 14:36
  limitations. You have to have faith in
• 14:39
  yourself. You have to believe that if
• 14:41
  Hashem gave you all these different mitzvah to do and all
• 14:44
  these different roles to play and you can handle them, it's
• 14:47
  true as being a father, a grandfather, a husband, it's
• 14:51
  true as being a worker, an employee or a boss, any role.
• 14:54
  If God gave you the opportunity to be in that role, you can
• 14:57
  succeed in that role. Anyone.
• 14:59
  Could do anything. If they try, if they put in
• 15:01
  effort. If you put your effort in,
• 15:03
  you'll get. It done 100%.
• 15:05
  A successful person in business. Elon Musk, the guy, nobody's,
• 15:10
  he's on his own, like he's just going right.
• 15:12
  He don't care what anyone thinks.
• 15:13
  He's has limitation like he has like physical disability.
• 15:18
  Or not. I want to call.
• 15:20
  Very good. I want to give you a little
• 15:21
  Trump. Yeah.
• 15:23
  Yeah, I want to tell you what there's no your thousands are
• 15:29
  right. I saw last night at your point
• 15:32
  where Shmuel Burnbaugh, Minnesota Saran Agadali came
• 15:35
  out. He writes, He says, do you know
• 15:37
  why the Torah tells us details about Paro and his craziness and
• 15:43
  Paro chasing on his cell? Do you know what the Torah tells
• 15:46
  us about people building tower of Bavel?
• 15:49
  He says, I want to tell you why, so that you witness man who
• 15:54
  doesn't believe he's limited. Paro was majnoon.
• 15:58
  Do you know what Tada tells you about the majnoon element of
• 16:01
  Pardo? So that Jew can learn from Pardo
• 16:05
  and say the same way this man was crazy and he chased on his
• 16:08
  cell after we were free and everything else, he's crazy.
• 16:12
  He believes he can win. And the same way that people
• 16:15
  will build the tower of Bauville climbing up the Hashem, they're
• 16:17
  crazy, but they, excuse me, they believe they can win.
• 16:20
  He says there's a purpose to learn that.
• 16:22
  Like you just said, learn from those most successful people.
• 16:27
  Our current president, who is literally out of his mind.
• 16:30
  He's absolute out of mind. In what planet do you issue a
• 16:34
  threat that says you're going to destroy a country of 83 million
• 16:38
  people? In what world do you say that
• 16:40
  threat? He's out of his mind.
• 16:42
  But you know what? He's out of his mind.
• 16:44
  This has gotten in certain places where everyone else
• 16:47
  failed. Every other person who was
• 16:48
  connected to him has been put in jail.
• 16:51
  All those guys have been put behind bars and he is just
• 16:54
  rolling along, right? He's out of his mind.
• 16:57
  But that's somehow how people get things done.
• 17:00
  How people breakthrough the same thing you're doing must it's
• 17:03
  like it's crazy. But This is why he says a small
• 17:06
  Bible rights. Why do we need to learn about
• 17:08
  Parov? So you can win as a person who's
• 17:11
  somewhat crazy, who believes in himself so much and that you
• 17:16
  have to learn from, you know, obviously be sane, but also take
• 17:20
  the good that you can take from that.
• 17:21
  We'll start with this.
