Rosenblum, Rabbi Sender on |
Rabbi Rosenblum gives over a fascinating explanation on the trop surrounding Yehudah's speech to Pharoah. And what was so frightening for the brothers when Yosef declared his identity which can affect our understanding of our lives here, and the judgment in the world to come? Along with an interesting hint to the weather that may fall out the week of this parsha.
How does the way Yosef revealed himself to his brothers show how Hashem will eventually free us from exile? Why was Yehudah - the brother of might and kingship - chosen to set up the house of Torah learning? Along with a fascinating hint to the weather that may come along with this week's portion.
How does Yaakov's premature death at the age of 147 teach us a tremendous lesson about appreciating the troubles we come across in life? And how does Yaakov's blessing to the younger Ephraim before Menashe show the higher level of serving Hashem from gratitude rather than coming close through perceiving one's suffering?
How can we analyze the Jewish perspective on living in Egypt to come to the great secret of being able to survive exile intact? Why were the Jews given such incredibly difficult labor as slaves? The trop underneath these words explains the reason in depth. What message was Hashem trying to get across with the symbolism of the burning bush?
The portion of Shemos kicks off the start of eight weeks when one can do special repentance. How do we see this in the first words of the parsha? We also gain great insight into the character of Dasan and Aviram as we see them fighting with Moshe in Egypt, and subsequently informing on him to the government. And how do we see the Egyptians trying to take advantage of the 36 years of hopelessness the Jews endured before Moshe was born?
How do the four languages of redemption represent four different aspects of our freedom? And how can we see that Moshe and Aharon were unaffected by the terrible influence of Pharoah? Did any of the Jewish nation's cattle die during the plague of dever?
The love of a son for a father is less than that of a parent to a child. How did the Avos transcend this level in their love of Hashem? How does having good spirits help lighten the load of hard labor, and why did that truism cause the Jews triple the pain?
What's a great way to remember how many plagues are discussed in this week's portion? Rabbi Rosenblum takes the typical manner of thought and turns it on his head as he analyzes the order of exile and bringing the Korban Pesach. He also gives a novel explanation of how Hashem hardened Pharoah's heart that points to the tremendous impact attitude has on our lives.
