Parshas Beshalach (5773)
by Mordechai Dolinsky

Hashem commanded Moshe to set aside an omer of the mahn for future generations as a living example and a motivation for them not to overdue their hishtadlus for parnassa at the expense of their limud HaTorah. What possible significance could the mohn from the midbar have for the many generations that followed? The answer is a very deep, significant lesson, that the hanhaga of Shomayim towards Klal Yisroel regarding the seder of parnasa which was manifested in the mohn continued and continues for ever and ever.

Have a wonderful Shabbos.

The commandment of the korban Pesach was given to Moshe Rabeinu and Aharon on Rosh Chodesh Nissan to speak to Klal Yisroel on Rosh Chodesh for them to take the lamb on the 10th of Nissan. It has to be slaughtered on the 14th and had to eaten on the night of the 15th; for periods: rosh chodesh, the 10th, the 14th and the 15th. The lesson is to come to close and to gain from ruchnius we need preparation. The aizov seems unimportant but with the proper preparation and understanding we break the barriers and we appreciate its beautiful wonders.

Have a wonderful Shabbos.

The point of oursedra isn’t just be maavir sedra but the events of the contents are activated here and now. The great demonstration of Hashem’s dominion over the universe are in the ten plagues which we must scrutinize and analyze them to see the great revelation of Hashem. Each maka has its demonstration of the presence and control of Hashem. Your life is in the blood which stems from water. Who changes the water to blood? Who can do this—only Hashem…the gift of life.

Have a wonderful Shabbos and good Chodesh.

(4:1) Moshe’s hesitation for being skeptical about the belief of Klal Yisroel was that he knew the secret that the success in his mission really depended on the bitchaon and emunah of Bnai Yisroel. So, too, today we have so much to receive from Hashem but we must have the bitachon and emunah. We must yearn for Moshiach.

Have a wonderful Shabbos.
