Open up Parajat Bishala is as follows.
0:07
What is the Parajat's story? The Parajat includes Amisa
0:11
leaving Mazzayim and going toward the Amsou and splitting
0:15
the sea, and then the miracle of the man.
0:19
And there are many, you know, beautiful details in these
0:22
different stages of our development.
0:24
Adam and Zayim through the sea and then into the desert.
0:29
The opening theme in the Paradise Shah.
0:32
Let's look at it by the first word, value, he, which is a
0:37
negative word, usually the game out that says it's like value.
0:41
Where is the value in the fact that Parola sent us out of the
0:44
time? So Wednesday night we gave one
0:46
explanation, but I'll give you another one now.
0:48
And the Madonna says that from Parola's point of view, Hashem
0:52
had to harden his heart and make him regret sending us out.
0:58
Vai is from Paparaz's mindset. Once he sent us out, he realized
1:04
what he just did. Nahi bishalaq paro atan.
1:07
It was only once parole lost us and he said vai and he said what
1:10
I just do, I just lost the greatest people.
1:13
What does that mean? So why did he realize while we
1:15
were under his control? So the theme is the Mitosh
1:18
writes that a Jew in mid time we know was were slaves and as
1:23
slaves we were not too productive, at least we didn't
1:26
feel so productive and we didn't reveal any of our strengths.
1:30
It was only once we went under the hand of Hashem, only once we
1:34
left Egypt and we started to become a developed beautiful
1:38
people. Then Paro realized what he lost.
1:42
And Madar says, imagine a person has all these different valuable
1:46
things and he gives them away and then he goes to the new town
1:48
where he sent those things and he started to see them for sale
1:52
and they're very expensive. He says where'd they come from?
1:53
They came from you. And he says, how do I give that
1:56
up so vahi bishalak paroatan vahi won't want to meet.
2:00
Paro said, I let these people go.
2:02
I didn't realize what I had and I didn't realize what a Jew is.
2:06
And the message to us is, is that a Jew in that state is not
2:10
impressive at all, but a Jew under the Shaliak in the hands
2:13
of Hashem can become a very impressive thing.
2:16
Every Jew has the capability to seem like nothing, but in the
2:19
right direction, seem like every.
2:22
And the basuk says Hashem did not allow us to go.
2:31
Derek is Philistine, the land of the Philistine.
2:34
What that means is, is that when we left Messiah, we had two
2:38
roads. One Rd. could have been a
2:41
straight Rd. We could have gotten very
2:43
assembly. You leave Egypt, you go through
2:45
the neighboring lands, neighboring countries, you
2:49
travel through them. There are some people who live
2:51
there. You go through them and you go
2:52
to the sale. Simple case close.
2:56
God did not do that, instead he took us a different way.
2:59
Why didn't you take us to Ennis police team Ki Karofu?
3:03
So literally it means because the land of the police team was
3:08
too close. So why wouldn't he take us to
3:10
the closed lands? Says Rashi Hassouk really says
3:13
the Kiyama Lakim Hashem said maybe the Jewish people will
3:20
regret will turn back Biddle Tamil Hama when they face a new
3:25
nation because it Hashem takes us to the straight way.
3:28
We're going to have to face people live there.
3:32
We shovel them with same, we're going to go back to the same.
3:35
So Hashem was afraid of taking us through a straight normal
3:40
path through the village team because it might include a war,
3:44
and if we can face a war, we're going to go back to the same.
3:48
Right, but then the ability of not making their war to be a
3:51
war. So all right, let's go to a
3:54
viewpoint #1 is why are they? Why, why, why would they
3:58
obviously be afraid of a war? Even if they did face a war,
4:01
Hold down the strength of Hashem.
4:02
Now, why are they afraid of a war?
4:04
So that plays into the concept. And no matter what you were
4:07
dealing with Carolina miracle. So they might.
4:11
But do we go back to Egypt for that?
4:14
So the reality is that their mentality was very faulty.
4:17
The Jewish people were very they're literally like infants,
4:22
a brand new nation, and they've been being down for hundreds of
4:25
years, but. If you just destroyed Egypt,
4:27
give me you talking about the most superior army in the world
4:31
at the time. What do you worry about?
4:33
Anyone else good but that? That's not consistent.
4:35
So the idea is that Hashem, when destroying Egypt, did not yet
4:39
wage a war. We had yet to witness Hashem
4:42
wage a war on. I'll be here.
4:44
We have seen God do miracles, but an outright fighting of an
4:48
enemy that's attacking us, then Hashem had done, Hashem had
4:51
pretty much put them inside Him into submission.
4:53
That yes, through the plagues, but He hadn't yet waved to war,
4:57
and war is another love of miracle we hadn't yet witnessed,
5:00
so maybe we'd be scared of that. And if you're, like we said, an
5:03
infant and you've been being down all these years, you don't
5:07
believe, even if you believe in miracles, you do not believe in
5:09
something that you haven't seen. That's Part 1.
5:12
Part 2 The term that the pasuk used is Hashem was wary of us.
5:18
Haam the nation doesn't say you sail.
5:22
The nation is a negative connotation as we know.
5:26
It's a more of a bland connotation really.
5:28
The Rabbi say often times haam refers to the Arab the Jewish
5:32
people up Messiah with a whole bunch of other people who were
5:36
new found Jews. Converts came from Egypt and the
5:40
Rabbi say the Arab Rav had infiltrated into our people and
5:43
their mindset and infiltrated his world.
5:46
Well, and they had, even if they were inspired to join the Jewish
5:50
people, they had a very faulty mindset and their minds.
5:53
It was anything that's scary and risky or out, they go back to
5:57
Messiah. So it's the end of now that it's
5:59
going to override our way of thinking and they wouldn't want
6:03
to go back to Egypt. The only reason why they jumped,
6:05
they jumped on the bandwagon to join the Jewish people is
6:07
because we were high and mighty. The moment we face the war,
6:11
they're going to, you know, skim it back into Egypt with Shavel
6:15
Mitzrayima. Who the arm?
6:16
Who's the arm? The the mindset of the 8 of an
6:19
F? That's another point.
6:21
What was the ratio between? I don't know, I don't know the
6:24
answer, but it's a big amount. That's a good question point.
6:27
Also in the first pasuk. Same point.
6:32
Yes it was about Paros sending a Larry Moshevi was actually
6:37
coined to Madash Mosheva been or was the one who was accepted
6:40
eight of the and Hashem wasn't pro it and became Musharraf's
6:44
problem and responsibility throughout the years was his
6:48
acceptance of the era of therefore by assembel Akima Tom
6:52
and because of this Hashem took the AAM Derek Hamid bar Yamsuva
6:57
took us around through the deserts and now you had a choice
7:00
take us right through a neighboring land riot aid to
7:04
sail game over case close mission accomplished complete
7:07
Khuda or take us around in a mid bar which ended up opening up
7:12
into a whole new world that was roundabout and it led to the
7:17
situation by the sea that the army sell first getting much
7:21
more afraid, much scared terrified actually by the sea.
7:27
We had to eventually spend 40 years through the mid bar all
7:31
because of like. Sharm El Sheikh to like the Gaza
7:34
to Israel that. I don't know the direction.
7:37
Sharm El Sheikh maybe, but Hamushima illuminated, Sarah
7:40
married in sign and the Jewish people went through the midbar.
7:47
The Jews you went to the midbar. Ha mushim.
7:51
What does hamushim mean? Hamushim means 2 points, One
7:57
that we went up, we went to the spot and we were armed, we took
8:00
weapons with us, we let Messiah. Hamushim means muzuanim.
8:04
And the other explanation is the middash about 1/5.
8:07
Both of these points need an explanation.
8:09
Why is it relevant that they were armed?
8:11
They never once pulled out their weapons, so why is it important
8:15
to know that I'm you so armed plays into this same mindset and
8:18
that it's who were afraid. We were scared.
8:22
We weren't so confident. Even though we had witnessed
8:25
Isyam and we had came out, there was still a degree of hesitant.
8:30
That's the only degree of lender.
8:33
I was one. We can't rely on a miracle, so
8:35
therefore we have. To be so either you say it as a
8:37
as a sign of a good thing. They, they made sure to be armed
8:39
because they didn't want to rely on a miracle or you say, and
8:42
it's implies how they were still terrified and therefore they
8:46
made sure to bring weapons. And even though I showed there's
8:48
only miracles for them, they didn't know if God would perform
8:52
the miracle of waging a. War.
8:53
They didn't know if there was a head.
8:56
Played in that way, or they didn't know Hashem, miracle
8:58
power, they didn't know different things.
9:01
Where they going? They can't go back and they
9:02
can't go forward. All the Basu says that Hashem
9:05
was afraid they going to go back.
9:06
Hashem was wary of them going back.
9:09
Imagine God. No, it doesn't sound.
9:11
Like Hashem's expectations are as high as it as it would be
9:14
waiter right now that that are shaky around It's OK who like
9:19
he's not they're not you know he's not coming down there for
9:21
for now they call him or. Not right on Wednesday night.
9:23
We do. This is really a period of time.
9:26
This is a period of time where the Jewish was still developing.
9:29
So this mindset, this weary mindset that is showing in the
9:32
sense a limited level of MO now is actually accepted.
9:36
And it's OK for a couple of reasons.
9:38
One was because we were still developing to that point.
9:41
This pause in between Itzi Amit Sahim and the splitting of the
9:45
sea was a stepping stone to a full development of Emunah Ozil
9:49
Shield comes after splitting in the sea, Poland.
9:53
And secondly, to the other point, the Jewish people were
9:56
coming out of Egypt and coming out of years, centuries of Obera
10:01
Volta Azera. And we didn't make from this.
10:04
On Wednesday night there was really a great debate in heaven,
10:07
which was, do we deserve these kinds of miracles?
10:12
Well, up until this point, the plagues were given on our
10:17
behalf, but that was also punishing the Egyptians.
10:21
Now by the moment between Isyama same and splitting in the sea,
10:27
which also will include some degree of punishing the
10:29
Egyptians, it started splitting as he began with making us free
10:33
and then punishing the Egyptians.
10:35
And this is an area where Amiso did not know if they deserve
10:39
that degree of miracle. They were not sure if they knew
10:42
it existed. They didn't know the Koch of
10:43
Hashem to that degree. They also didn't know if it was
10:46
coming for them because they had they had performed Abu Dazra all
10:51
those years. So this mindset at this moment
10:54
actually makes a lot of sense. They were weary, they were
10:57
nervous. They didn't know if gods that
10:59
are Hamim had the power to go to another degree, and they also
11:03
didn't know even if Hashem had that power, if he's going to
11:06
impart it for them being at the as the Mazdaj says, when the
11:13
Jewish people were sitting by the sea literally like dead
11:17
ducks waiting there. Excuse me.
11:19
And there's a sea in front of them, wild animals to one side.
11:21
Egyptians crying from behind, Moschetta Beno lift up the stick
11:26
and then waved his hand. And the Mazdaj says that the sea
11:29
didn't want to split because it said Halalo of the Alvadazra,
11:34
Valalo of the Alvadazra. The Egyptians served idols and
11:36
the few people served idols. Why should we split for them,
11:40
the Jews and kill the Egyptians? And then basically the reason
11:44
that the sea was split, Well, Juan Bedar says because of
11:47
yourself's bones. And the other one explains
11:49
because of our future, which means we didn't really have the
11:53
proper merit at that moment to deserve this situation.
11:57
It's plays perfectly into why our mindset was scared, even
12:02
willing to accept the negative valves mindset of going back to
12:05
mid science. Why do we carry weapons?
12:07
Because we weren't really there. Hashem took us to a roundabout
12:11
way. He didn't take us through a
12:12
straight Rd. because a straight Rd. would have left, would have
12:15
led to reverting back into Egypt because of all these fears.
12:19
So it understands that AMI is all needed another degree, new
12:23
level of miracles, new level of confidence into Hashem because
12:27
they were wary of the situation and that's.
12:29
Moshe has a leader. He didn't have an influence on
12:31
what I'm playing on that they should have.
12:33
Yeah. Well, no, no.
12:34
So he does say a line, which is that a classic line hits Yatsuo,
12:39
stand there and see, and the Shuata Sham, The Shuata Sham, he
12:43
does say it. The first they cry, then he says
12:47
it, and then they go, yeah, there's some degree of back and
12:50
forth on the level of Amuna. And then you have this, this
12:54
sort of sidebar. Moshe Habino takes the bones
12:56
Bikak Moshe ET atmode yourself. Immo Moshe takes the bones of
13:00
yourself with him. Chiaz biaz biaz, because
13:05
yourself years earlier, centuries earlier has sworn to
13:09
our people and said Pennsylvania called, I've called the Leukimah
13:12
trem. One day Hashem will remember you
13:15
and save you Jewish people. And at that time the Ali Temmet
13:20
at my time is a tehena. Please take my bones with you
13:23
when you leave Egypt. So what should have been at this
13:25
moment is taking those bones. So on Wednesday we addressed why
13:29
this is being mentioned right here.
13:32
It is separate, very powerful message in the story of the
13:35
bones of Yosef. I saw this yesterday.
13:37
Very powerful message as follows.
13:39
What is the story of the bones of Yosef?
13:41
By the way, bones over centuries decompose.
13:46
Typically bones do not last centuries.
13:49
So why did they say people using the words take my bones?
13:52
Did you just say take my coffin? I don't know if there's going to
13:54
be bones around at that time. Couple 100 years later.
13:57
How do you know about the bones now?
14:00
The gemara tells us that bone is decomposed.
14:03
Fine, except for when a person is one who never gets jealous
14:11
and doesn't have rivalry, their bones remain.
14:15
Everyone else's bone is decomposed.
14:17
They're bones, you mean. And there have been examples in
14:19
modern history where they found people who were very good at
14:22
these traits. Never had a rivalry, never
14:25
caught jealous, never bones running task.
14:27
There's an argument there because of.
14:30
Yourself as it goes, you know, says person embalming.
14:33
Maybe that way of doing it, I don't know.
14:35
Maybe by yourself when says to my real Diskin around me for
14:39
hundreds and years ago, he's just like this.
14:41
When yourself said take my bones, he was hinting to a
14:46
deeper message and that was take my way of life.
14:49
My way of life was I had my brothers.
14:52
They were jealous of me, but I was never once jealous of them.
14:55
I had my brothers, they rival of me, but I never once rivaled the
14:59
back in return. And everyone's got upset or had
15:02
competition back at them at any point in time.
15:05
Never once responded to their way of life.
15:08
Take my bones, take my way. And it was specifically more
15:11
shit. I've been over since the rabbi
15:13
who picked up these moments. He was doing the whole Jewish
15:15
people leaving the time hundreds and hundreds of thousands of
15:17
people. He's the only person Moshe to
15:20
opt in to this misfire of taking the moments in yourself because
15:24
Moshe wants to adapt the exact same mindset which is he will
15:30
deal with Moshe will many rivals many people through history who
15:34
will battle him and complain about him and and give him
15:37
difficult time and he will not deal with them in kind even if
15:41
they treat him improperly on me. So treat him or should have been
15:44
on difficulty many times complained about him all these
15:46
things and never once or complain the general never once
15:50
in or should have been a respond and say that I'm mine.
15:53
I'm not taking care of them anymore.
15:54
Moshe went through thick and thin for our people.
15:59
He never responded in kind just like yourself.
16:03
They got Moshe E that's mot yourself Imor he think the bones
16:08
you know, savage should say the words he taught with him.
16:11
Imor means along with him. In other words, he's taking the
16:14
bones, the story of the bones of yourself along with him as a
16:19
life message. How do you act in life?
16:21
Act like yourself, which is never responding kind to other
16:25
people, never treat them the way they treat you and you know why
16:30
is my own addition. Why do you think bones decompose
16:33
typically but don't decompose to these people?
16:35
Because the message of jealousy or rivalry is that who does it
16:41
hurt the most? It hurts ourselves.
16:43
When someone does anything wrong to you, they they wronged you.
16:47
If they allow it to eat you up, it eats you up.
16:50
Maybe that's why the bones he composed for a typical person,
16:53
but not for the guy who doesn't allow it to eat him up because
16:58
he's not letting it take over him so his body remains intact.
17:01
That's the message so Mosheeda Abedin took Rousseff's bones,
17:05
which meant to say along with doing that Mizvah, he took the
17:09
message into his life. That's why and came the dash is
17:12
the words Khan live a wise man takes what Mosheeda Abeda taking
17:16
these bones is deemed the wise man.
17:18
I'll miss you. Why in?
17:19
Denial. While I was in denial, yeah, I I
17:22
I looking for reasons why they are.
17:23
I have it, so it's prosperity. So the Egyptians were the
17:27
Egyptian. Was their prosperity.
17:28
To explain the Egyptians left yourself's bones is you know was
17:34
coughing in the bottom of the wrist.
17:35
Sure enough, go to the bottom of the river to dig it out.
17:38
God to. Nile's their prosperity and
17:41
yourself was a reason of their prosperity from the seven good
17:44
years and like that, so they wanted to put him into the Nile
17:47
to always have continued prosperity.
17:48
You go so much you have to go to the Nile, and the Midge says you
17:52
have to figure out a way how to get the osseous bones to come
17:55
up. I just think about this for a
17:57
second. The whole Jewish people are
17:58
doing their own thing. They're all running out of
17:59
Messiah and he's busy with this side task, so to speak, because
18:04
he had to, because he felt his right thing to do.
18:06
There's other messages and Figgia says Bones, this is one
18:09
of them. And now they're traveling.
18:11
Then they come to Yamsuf and they have three steps and we'll
18:16
close these three steps. 1st Army sells very scared to photos
18:19
chase and they yell out the Hashem, cry out the Hashem,
18:24
which is considered a great thing by his Aku.
18:26
They cry out the Hashem then Moshe Habena responds and says
18:31
stand there and get ready. You're going to see the issue
18:33
all Bashan. You can see another level
18:35
miracle. The flow is clear.
18:38
Moshe I knew was coming, even though Hashem didn't say Moshe
18:41
anyway, then Hashem del Moshe Habeno, why are you praying, Why
18:48
are you crying? Time to travel so interesting
18:51
three steps. The Jewish people were praying
18:53
was a great thing. Moshe says and now get ready for
18:57
the issue up. Hashem's next step is why are
19:00
you praying time to travel? So it's interesting Omnia Cell's
19:04
prayer is considered a very good thing.
19:07
Moshe Abedo's prayer is considered in God's eyes, not
19:12
the right time. Time is set to travel right.
19:15
So the theme I believe is if there's a difference between the
19:18
nation and the leader, the nation needs to turn the emunah
19:24
to Hashem. Moshe, at that time, he had said
19:28
it himself, get ready for the Yeshua.
19:30
Mohsen needed to live with the expectation of the Yeshua is
19:34
here as a leader. He needed to display the
19:37
confidence and the sense of security that everything is
19:41
good. So they should cry out.
19:43
They should develop the emunah and be Tajon.
19:46
He as a leader needs to act with a sense of security and
19:49
conference. There's a difference between a
19:50
leader and the people. I believe at that point, because
19:52
it's a strange difference, they cry out.
19:55
Great thing. Now the Yeshua is coming.
19:57
He stands and cries and praise the chances.
19:59
Why are you praying? Time to travel.
20:02
You love that prayer. You don't like my prayer?
20:04
I believe there's a difference. As a unit, they should have Vita
20:08
Horn. They should show that Vita Horn
20:10
as a leader, he cannot show that sense of fear because remember
20:15
they're crying was coming from a fear channel to Vita Horn.
20:20
If he does that same thing, that means he doesn't know where it's
