Rabbi Moshe Haber Perashat Bo: Breaking the Slave Mentality: The Purpose of Divine Ridicule 1.23.26 · Rabbi Moshe Haber - Daily Mussar/Weekly Perasha

  The idea that Borkar is less female code.
• 0:03
  Now what is the idea of breaking up these Maccords or different
• 0:06
  explanations as to their breakups, but the overall theme
• 0:10
  and where else you see a breakup of the Maccons in sections on
• 0:14
  the step that Moshira value was broken up into words Ditzak dams
• 0:19
  of Adea, Kinim, Adash and Behkov on the overall theme is this
• 0:25
  concept which we'll try to develop.
• 0:27
  What is the theme of the breakup?
• 0:29
  Maccons Paro. Let's see the words of it.
• 0:31
  Ayomu at the beginning. Ayomuchet boil pao come to Paro.
• 0:40
  Can he? Because I've hardened his heart
• 0:42
  with Lev and the heart of his servants.
• 0:45
  The man Shih tihoto Thai ELE biki boy in order that I can
• 0:48
  place his miracles within him, in his midst.
• 0:53
  ULE mante Saperbo is nebinhao Benbinha in order that you can
• 0:57
  tell over to your children and grandchildren.
• 0:59
  And I show it's a lot of deep in the time that I really cue the
• 1:02
  Egyptians. I played with them, I toured
• 1:04
  with them and there I thought the autotaios and the signs that
• 1:09
  I placed by them Viadatam and you as usual know kyanya Hashem.
• 1:13
  So those are the two pieces that came to open up the parashaam
• 1:16
  first bow come to paro. The classic question on this
• 1:21
  point is why is it come? Why is an Allah what Hashem
• 1:26
  saying by saying the words come to paro Hashem is saying that
• 1:32
  you need to realize that when you're going to go to Pardo,
• 1:38
  you're not going alone, you're going with Hashem.
• 1:41
  So come to Pardo means you're going to go visit Pardo or
• 1:44
  coming with me as the simple shot that they said Boyle Pardo
• 1:48
  kiani because I've hardened his heart.
• 1:51
  Why is God opening up before mentioning the last in my court,
• 1:55
  saying the harden the heart before you mention the my car
• 1:58
  and why there's some adding and I've hardened the hearts of his
• 2:01
  servants. The rabbi's say, I'm not sure
• 2:05
  why says order Haim others and they say like this Moshe Abedu
• 2:10
  could have been discouraged and he could have said, obviously
• 2:14
  these my courts are not so impressive or not so effective.
• 2:17
  They seem to be major miracles to me.
• 2:19
  I'm very amazed by these miracles.
• 2:22
  But look, Pardo's not moving. He's not budging.
• 2:26
  It must be. These miracles are not as
• 2:28
  impressive as I think. So Hashem says no, no, come with
• 2:33
  me to Paro. And why are you coming, Keyania
• 2:36
  Pardly? Well, because I are an aside.
• 2:38
  In other words, the only reason that there's still room for more
• 2:43
  Michael, the only reason that Paroi has not let you free is
• 2:47
  because of a supernatural hardening of his heart.
• 2:50
  Naturally, he would definitely let you free.
• 2:53
  Absolutely. Because the miracle's so
• 2:55
  amazing. And then Hashem adds, and I've
• 2:57
  hardened the hearts of His servants.
• 3:00
  What's the message there? The message this in order for
• 3:03
  these mouth courts to be available, for Paro to allow
• 3:07
  these mouth courts to continue, number 1, he needed his heart to
• 3:11
  be hardened because naturally He will let you go.
• 3:14
  Not only that His servants hard needs to be hardened because
• 3:19
  they too would never allow, they would lose their mind on parole
• 3:24
  if they had the control of their mind.
• 3:26
  They would never allow Paro to let these let let let you
• 3:31
  continue doing mark what they never.
• 3:33
  It's too much on them. Now here's the question, why is
• 3:37
  this fair? You know the question, the
• 3:39
  classic question, why is this fair?
• 3:41
  Paro is being as hard as being hardened and his servants hearts
• 3:45
  being hardened. Why is this fair?
• 3:47
  Shouldn't they be able to say free will?
• 3:51
  Our minds would let him go. Why is God punishing us beyond
• 3:55
  free will? That's the question.
• 3:58
  So there are multiple answers I give you there on Bond's answer.
• 4:01
  And Bond says a deep down Paro did not want to let them go and
• 4:06
  beat deep down Parole felt we shouldn't be let go, but he had
• 4:13
  inspiration or he had a temporary emotion.
• 4:15
  Every time a Mecca came when God hardened his heart, he hardened
• 4:20
  his heart, hardened part of his heart, which means he took away
• 4:25
  that emotional, that temporary inspiration, remove that part
• 4:30
  and let the set held the mindfully there.
• 4:33
  So Parole and his mind did not want to let us go, but his heart
• 4:37
  and the inspiration was telling him, let us go.
• 4:39
  I said I'm not going to let you make a decision based on your
• 4:42
  emotion. I'm not going to give you the
• 4:43
  credit of making that decision to free the Jewish people.
• 4:47
  I'm going to let you and treat you as it was mine only and I
• 4:51
  know your mind alone would not be interested in letting them go
• 4:55
  and therefore they're not going. And the goal of all this was to
• 4:59
  create miracles and to punish. But all that's the goal all
• 5:02
  right, as is happening over here.
• 5:05
  But then I see this is another point.
• 5:09
  This is the point I want to focus on them all close.
• 5:12
  The other purpose of these Maqat is to ridicule the Egyptians and
• 5:18
  in order they tell over the children and grandchildren.
• 5:20
  The fact that I toyed literally I played Hashem says with the
• 5:26
  mid seam with Pardo. Why is that a significant fact
• 5:30
  as we leave Egypt to know that Hashem played with them, Let us
• 5:34
  walk out, let them free us and call a day.
• 5:38
  Why do we need that additional component which is a Hashem
• 5:42
  hetal alti? Hetal alti means Buddha kyota.
• 5:47
  That's significant. Here's the concept.
• 5:50
  If we would have been just free, we would have walked out of
• 5:54
  Egypt having the lasting impression on mine.
• 5:59
  And they are our masters, they are kashuv.
• 6:03
  Somehow they let us go, but they're our masters.
• 6:06
  They're kashuv. They're a big deal.
• 6:09
  Fine now and before we left Hashem, the plagues after place
• 6:16
  after place. And in fact, Makat Arbe, which
• 6:20
  is going to be the 7th plague, right?
• 6:23
  Rather the 8th plague is going to be a plague that's literally
• 6:27
  toying with them. White because the previous
• 6:29
  plagues are some destroyed, most of the crop left a little alive.
• 6:33
  As if the Egyptians are going to believe oh we didn't get
• 6:36
  everything In comes locusts, finishes the job that's toying
• 6:40
  with them. Why would God feel the need to
• 6:42
  play with them? Instead, in our minds, we go on
• 6:47
  into our future. We never again think of Paro or
• 6:51
  our Mass as the Egyptians as a big deal.
• 6:53
  Instead, we know the reality. That reality isn't nothing.
• 6:56
  In order that you tell over to your children and your
• 6:58
  grandchildren. The fact that I play with them,
• 7:02
  that's part of the Hinuk, which tells us one of the most
• 7:06
  important things in our hinuk is let our children know that we do
• 7:10
  not consider those people the evil people, whoever they are,
• 7:15
  impressive. When I'm impressed by the glitz
• 7:18
  and the glamour of Hollywood. We don't care about the things
• 7:21
  that make other people famous. We don't care about those
• 7:23
  things. Same idea over here.
• 7:24
  It's not just enough to raise your children the right way.
• 7:27
  That's what Hashem is telling us.
• 7:28
  It's also necessary to ridicule the other way.
• 7:32
  Ridicule literally, yes, To put them away and put them down and
• 7:37
  not make them seem like a big deal.
• 7:39
  That allows us to parent. It clears the way for us to have
• 7:42
  a path to elevate our children. Here's an incredible thing.
• 7:46
  So first, do we follow that concept?
• 7:48
  It's a lot. The is one of the main purposes
• 7:51
  of the market were one to punish paddle and the message 2 to let
• 7:57
  us free 3. The method was to ridicule the
• 8:01
  Egyptians. Why does it seem proper for them
• 8:04
  to ridicule? So he puts them down and gets
• 8:07
  them out of our mind forever. Half the slavery was in our
• 8:12
  mind, you know, Messiah. We mentioned last week, I
• 8:16
  believe, with Siam, the opening word from Simon, a man opens up
• 8:20
  and the closing word is a closed man, right?
• 8:23
  Opens. You come into Egypt, you never
• 8:25
  leave. Why is it the case?
• 8:28
  Why is it the case you can never leave?
• 8:30
  It wasn't possibly, was it? Fortified with crazy walls?
• 8:33
  Never heard that. Anyone who came into Egypt never
• 8:35
  left before you'd salmon time never left.
• 8:38
  Do you know why 'cause they got their own minds and they would
• 8:41
  make you believe there's nothing else out there and this is the
• 8:45
  most amazing place on earth. And these people are so
• 8:47
  impressive. And even though they're beating
• 8:49
  us and they're working us and they're all masters, they're so,
• 8:51
  so impressive. And I want to be around.
• 8:54
  That was a mindset and it's time.
• 8:56
  And that's the type you have to break.
• 8:59
  So the goal of the market was Hital Alti.
• 9:03
  Is it at all? Supposed to show.
• 9:05
  The power of Hashem, Yeah. To show his power, yeah.
• 9:07
  But the way you are, here's the point.
• 9:09
  The way you see the complete power of Hashem is only by
• 9:13
  seeing how there are nothing. The more you see others as a big
• 9:17
  deal, the less you're able to be elevated and be connected
• 9:19
  Hashem. This is where it allowed.
• 9:21
  The little means ridicule. It also means it can hint to the
• 9:25
  mean word aliyah, which means elevate us.
• 9:30
  And the idea is we get elevated the less we believe in outside
• 9:35
  things. The less we consider other
• 9:36
  things a big deal, the more we have the capability to be
• 9:39
  elevated. That's the reality, and that's a
• 9:41
  very important point to keep in mind.
• 9:44
  And the goal of the market was to diminish these things, to
• 9:49
  diminish Egyptians, diminish their culture, to diminish
• 9:53
  parole and his way and all that. We got consumed in our minds,
• 9:57
  you might call a slave. And Talia was not a slave.
• 10:00
  And Talia, it's absorbed with their culture.
• 10:03
  You get rid of that, you can soar and He keep that with you.
• 10:08
  It's hard to go. So it means like this, even if
• 10:10
  Hashem would have created all the miracles of the Makot and
• 10:15
  even if Hashem would have showed us Matanzura and them in bar and
• 10:21
  He said, oh, we would not have been able to sort our full
• 10:26
  heights because it would have been held down with the belief
• 10:30
  of the nonsense of the things that were going on in Egypt.
• 10:33
  You need to 1st get rid of them. Cut that out and then you can
• 10:36
  sort that is. That to do with Iran, as much as
• 10:40
  we're hitting them and they're much and then they're talking
• 10:43
  and that. But they said there's a thing
• 10:46
  that said in Purim, they're going to just sell out, They're
• 10:50
  going to lead. So I think it's me before, but
• 10:52
  yeah. Purim because that's.
• 10:55
  What the work is different? Everyone has a different theory
• 10:59
  as to why. I'd say the two theories I heard
• 11:02
  in the airport, OK, literally this morning as to why he hasn't
• 11:07
  struck yet. By the way, just so you know,
• 11:09
  the whole world is consumed with Trump.
• 11:11
  It's not only here, it's more there.
• 11:14
  I spoke to rabbis only speak Yiddish.
• 11:16
  Trump is the only English word that they use.
• 11:18
  The rabbis speak of each. Amen.
• 11:20
  The whole world is concerned with this guy, not what's the
• 11:22
  two theories. There are two theories. 1 is, I
• 11:26
  have to tell you, I'm just relaying.
• 11:29
  One guy said that they have some sort of tracker that looks at
• 11:33
  how much food they order. Let's not really get this.
• 11:37
  Yeah, here it is. Pentagon, how much food they
• 11:39
  order to the Pentagon, and they order a lot of food to the
• 11:42
  Pentagon. It means the big thing is
• 11:45
  coming. Big attack is coming.
• 11:48
  So they just noticed that they made a major order for the
• 11:50
  Pentagon for this weekend. Wow.
• 11:52
  What do you think of that? Oh, I tell you, the third is
• 11:55
  awesome. The whole account tell you the
• 11:57
  third theory. It's like a betting account.
• 11:59
  The third theory, it was. Let's have got this one third
• 12:01
  day. One, he only does it on the
• 12:02
  weekends. His attacks only happened on
• 12:05
  Shabbat. It's true so far.
• 12:06
  They both happen on Shabbat. Why call the stock market theory
• 12:11
  OK, as the one he doesn't mess with the stock market only does
• 12:14
  it on Saturday. OK, two to the theories and the
• 12:19
  third theory was he only does one, he's in Florida.
• 12:21
  He doesn't want that. He attacks people from from the
• 12:24
  golf bus. He has a better there.
• 12:27
  He was, and his son told him they sent a little and something
• 12:32
  called Yeshiva week and Yeshiva week.
• 12:35
  Everyone's in Israel, and he doesn't want everyone to be
• 12:37
  attacked while being in Israel. How's Shalom?
• 12:40
  So they wait for the Americans to come back.
• 12:42
  All right. All right, wait for you to get
• 12:46
  back. Exactly.
• 12:51
  The boy it is. It's happening Saturday night.
• 12:53
  That's the it's the old saying. My theory is just as you know,
• 12:58
  if you watch a tracker, what he does is he gets very close, then
• 13:04
  he pulls back. He saw this with Venezuela.
• 13:06
  He saw with the thing and then he goes out of time.
• 13:08
  He thinks he's pulling back. Whatever it is.
• 13:13
  By the way, this is where he negotiates.
• 13:18
  He threatens it's a Greenland. I'm all right, but I I got to
• 13:22
  get the and then he hired another ones.
• 13:24
  By the way, hired this other one was fun of when I was around the
• 13:28
  quarter someone said that the theory there's a pasuk.
• 13:35
  I have to get the pasuk Pasuk basically says it mentions
• 13:42
  paras, which is Iran. It mentions Melek Edom, which
• 13:47
  Trump and it mentions Arab, which is Saudi Arabia, Melek
• 13:53
  Arab, Saudi Arabia and it says that the Melek Adom gets his it
• 13:59
  sought from, which means that Trump is being told by Saudi
• 14:03
  Arabia when the bomb went on to bomb at 4 theories I got in the
• 14:06
  last 25 hours. I'm going to listen to Soviet
• 14:09
  execs. Although all you need to know is
• 14:11
  everyone's obsessed with the same stuff.
• 14:13
  But the idea is you got to get these things.
• 14:15
  You got to get coined by Sook all the things that bog us down
• 14:20
  out of our minds. Because if they long as they bog
• 14:22
  us down, we can't soar. Once it's allowed to recu them,
• 14:25
  then we can soar. Those behind them, behind Trump,
• 14:30
  Netanyahu, whatever, retail.
