For the Ilui
Neshama of Avraham ben Ester & the Refua Shlema of Mordechai Tzvi ben Sara. There is a
famous conversation that Hashem brings down in the Torah when recording the
story of what happened in Mitzrayim within the last 3 Plagues. Pharaoh tells
Moshe and Aharon: “I want these Plagues to be over, therefore please leave.
Just do me a favor and get out of my country! But only you and the older men
and the wise; leave all the young generation with me for my benefit!”
What does
Moshe answer him? Not only will the young stay, but the cattle, the sheep, the
infants, the toddlers, the women, the youth, EVERYONE and EVERYTHING ASSOCIATED
WITH OUR PEOPLE WILL LEAVE!
Shemot 10:9,
“VaYomer Moshe Bina’arenu Nelech BeVanenu Uvivnotenu BeTzonenu Uvivkareny
Nelech Ki Chag Hashem Lanu.” With our youth and with our elders we
will go, with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our
cattle we will go, for it is a festival of Hashem to us.
Just imagine
the intensity in Moshe’s eyes, hand motions and voice booming back at Pharaoh!
How dare you even suggest such a thing?! What does it mean for it is a festival
to us? What is so special about leaving Mitzrayim.
The fact
that Am Yisrael was heading to Har Sinai to get the Torah straight from Hashem
Himself! But where is that secret in this pasuk (verse)? The Gematriya of “Ki
Chag Hashem” is 67. With the Kollel (gematriya calculation where you
add another unit) this number comes out to 68. The Gematriya (numerical value)
of the word Chaim, life, is also 68.
We need to understand that when Moshe with
the help of Hashem is taking out the entire nation, sons daughters old young,
etc. to Har Sinai they are not only leaving slavery. In fact the entire Am is
going from the lowest physical and more importantly spiritual point in the
history of the world to the highest physical and spiritual level! They are
about to get in their hands the blueprint of all existence.
We need to
glue it into our hearts and veins that the Torah is the Emet (the truth)
and we all need to buy a pair of spiritual glasses and look at the world
through them. B’H we should all reach a day where the ONLY THING we care about
is receving the good that Hashem wants to give us and because our actions we
will receive it and deserve it.
