Last week, we left Egypt.

 

Last week, we left Egypt.

Our sages in the Passover Agadah told us that we are so lucky it happened,  because otherwise we, our children and grandchildren wouldn't have ever escaped.

Let me explore what they meant by this.

Pharoh will die some day, how can the redemption from Egypt, more than 3,000 years ago, help us till today?

Well, the name of the game is Ego.

In Hebrew, Egypt is Mitzrayim, the same route of the word as Tzar, narrow.

Every one of us carries Egypt with him.

In fact, the word Pharoh, Changing the letters in Hebrew, you get the word Oref, the neck.

We all know that we are a stiff necked people, and that is where the freedom is coming from.

When we know that our own Pharoh, the stubbornness of the ego, is narrow between the brain. Where the Truth is, to the heart. Where the ego is, all we concentrate and care about is ourselves.  To the extreme of narcissism. 😳

But let it go, be there for others, care ONLY about others, that's where you'll find freedom.

It's either we are locked, imprisoned, in our own ego, or we are free and busy with others.

 

Let's be free, only for each other, and be ready to accept the miracles.

Just like the Splitting of the sea in this week, Parasha.

ISRAEL. THE TRUE STORY.

 

 

ISRAEL. THE TRUE STORY.

How can a small country attract massive attention?

By Dinush Blau

As it's obvious to all, God is the creator. Therefore, the world belongs to him.

He gave us the Torah, an instruction book so we can know what's right or wrong.

The Torah guides us on every situation we have to deal with, including war.

I'm very disappointed, upset, and heartbroken by the way we act, as the Jewsh country is extremely against the Torah.

Why do we follow the UN?!

Who are they to know anything? What did they prove by their behavior or decisions 🤔  did they ever come with a good idea or ever solve any situation?!

No. They did not. Never.

What about the USA? In our days, did they prove any of their decisions to be correct? No.

The correct way is to win the war as soon as possible and to get to a victory. 

Victory is when the enemy is scared of us for 40 years, a complete generation, that they will have a fear of fighting us.

Are we moving towards that goal?

Let there be Light!

 

 

"In the beginning G‑d created the heaven and the earth…G‑d's spirit moved on the water's surface… G‑d said 'let there be light' and light came into existence.”

(English translation of CHABAD website.)

 

Let there be Light!

From the teachings of holy Arizal....<In the Purification degrees of attributes> "in his isolation...Ari managed to obtain the 21 high attributes of the soul...among the attributes, we have: being lenient with his friends..." [Toldot Rabi Yitschac Luria Ashkenazi book, page 73].

The Divine sparks in each letter amd words, they give life to things, once spoken, that is eternal! 'So, anything you are going to say, think 10 times before pronouncing it to the Universe, to people, some words as they are expressed, may sound like something that gives life or totally demotivating, even when our proposal is to help, as human beings, sometimes, We are bound to err on the side of our best intentions, as Rebbe Nachman teaches, it is a great mitzvah to be Happy always. In this it is good to make someone happy, to direct them to HaShem. By Gilson Sasson.

The Ari’s students listened to the Maharshal’s explanation and then Rabbi Chaim Vital opened his mouth and just said the first verse of the Torah: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” At that moment, the Maharshal suddenly felt and saw that the heavens were created anew and the earth was created anew (as will be the case when the Mashiach comes – there will be new heavens and a new earth). The Maharshal understood that the power of the Torah of the student of the Ari was much greater than his own power. When he spoke, nothing was created, but when the student said just one verse, a new heaven and earth were created.
