Portion VayehRah – It's About Inspiration and Vision and Cease Fires

 
Portion VayehRah – It's About Inspiration and Vision and Cease Fires
 
Did Moses  - our teacher from the time of his first visit to Sinai -

 

Lack Inspiration and Vision?

If you look at the end of last week's Portion , Moses tells the Almighty

"It looks like my return to Egypt has just made things worse 

r"

 Was it because Moses lacked vision?

Or

Do we ALL need to get onto the "Almighty form of Vision?"

So 

 then in this portion we start off with

The Almighty – still speaking to Moses –

 with those around him PROBABLY not hearing -

"

I will show everyone" and then it says

I shall take Israel out of Egypt... and bring them

 etc

all this was.  h

 - Needed to inspire Moshe

-And give him the VISION 

 He went on with this clear vision to lead Israel for the next 40 years

Through the harsh desert and many wars - etc -

To the Promised Land

So what vision and inspiration do we all need today 

Let's see 

Reb Shlomo Carlebach

On Parsha VaeiRa

We Can't Stand Exile 

You know my sweetest friends, when we read about 

leaving Mitzrayim (Egypt) the first thing G-d says is "Vehotzeisi Eschem Mitachas Sivlos Mitzrayim",

 I will take you out from being able to stand Egypt. 

"Sivlos Mitzrayim"... also means to be able to put up with,  tolerate...

 You see, the first thing about redemption, to get out of exile is that you have to 

 stop liking the exile. 

Imagine I am

in exile but I like it in exile, then nobody can take me out. 

At one time I told someone about the holiness and beauty of Yerushalayim, Jerusalem,

 they said to me listen, I'll tell you the truth, I like the Bronx. 

So what can you do with them? The Messiah will come and give them a free ticket to Israel but 

they like the Bronx. They will never move, there is nothing you can do.

...   

 Everybody talks about freedom,

but you know something?

 It's a very heavy thing to be free. 

So the first thing of redemption is that G-d will take you out from being able to stand being in exile, you won't like it anymore....

... 

See what happened when Moshe comes to the yidden, they suddenly couldn't stand it anymore. This was the first sign      first step of redemption.

I bless you and me that we should (have the vision to)hear the footsteps of the ultimate redemption and run towards them! 

 (from Rabbi Shlomo)Good Shabbos

Now,

In Israel there are people trying to understand this new cease-fire

And others are trying to understand October 7

Amd Many people are looking for who to blame

Where is their vision?

So I want to share something here from my daily Talmud 

Study

Tractate Sanhedrin – "The Ultimate Courts" 

Talmud Section... yerushah rules about - transfering inheritance-of a person who is ill to family or friends

the question is 

What are we,. You , all of us, leaving to the next 2 generations or more?

Inspiration?

 Vision?

Lets all get inspiredAnd 

All the Best

Shabbat Shalom
