Our
Parsha this Shabbos is "Parshas Va'Eira," - "Appeared,"Here,where HaShem
rvealed Himself to the forefathers as "K'El Shaddai," signifying HaShem
as the 'Almighty ," above all which contains 'dai' ('enough' in
English) within it signifying how HaShem had made nature to run
normally and all was under Him.The Laws of Nature were enough.Now,HaShem
would go past those limits in using nature to act
in a way that was beyond its limit (as where water turns to blood or
Seas splitting,hail coming mixed with fire and the miracles beyond
nature of all the plagues against Egypt also Aharon's Staff (not snake)
eating up the Egyptian's Staffs [not snakes-for it directly in the Torah
says staffs] among so many others) . Now HaShem would stretch the laws
of nature beyond what they were Commanded to do,and so,now,HaShem would
also be known as "Yud Key Vav Key " - "Hayah Hoveh Ve'Yiheye," - "He was
He is and He will (forever) be," suggesting that there are no limits to
HaShem.HaShem is without limits.HaShem had never before revealed
Himself to mankind and now,HaShem prepared His people to meet Him at
Mount Sinai.Mount Sinai according to Gemarrah was a part of Mount Moriah
where Yitzchak was taken up and also where the Temple is to stand.This
is the place where HaShem will again reunite with us.Where HaShem will
appear to us in Beauty and Holiness.The very suggestion to Moshe that
HaShem is -"He was,is and will be," also told Moshe that as HaShem was
and is (in freeing them from Egypt) with His people,so will HaShem be
(in later redemptions).This told Moshe that this freeing from Mitzrayim
would not be the last time we would be taken into exile and freed.The
whole idea of HaShem being 'Yud Key Vav Key,' -'He Was He is He will
be,' also shows HaShem's eternal never ending existence above
existence.The word 'Elokim' suggests 'HaShem's attribute of 'Justice'
and 'The word we pronounce for 'Yud Key Vav Key," - "HaShem,' suggests
HaShem's attribute of mercy which HaShem was about to display for His
people Israel.It is interesting that HaShem would reveal Himself or 'appear'
after plagues and hardships had to be gone through.This brings an
interesting concept.That to be closer to HaShem,we need to sometimes go
through trials and tribulations and tests to really make our Neshoma
shine through.It is only through refining of the soul that we can come
out cleaner and more pure and thus able to 'appear ' before HaShem.
Looking into the verse more deeply,HaShem says He appeared to the
Patriarchs with the name 'K'El Shaddai," which shows that HaShem did
appear to the patriarchs is a form they could understand.So,HaShem does
appear to us in ways we don't always realize.We need to look closer at
everything around us for HaShem is in all.It didn't say that HaShem
appeared to us with the name "Yud Key Vav Key,"showing us that HaShem's
Eternity and Essence is beyond us.We need to reach a level where HaShem
can reveal this part of Him and that will come - as HaShem hints with
the part - "He Will Be," in the future times, in Mashiach's time. Yet
HaShem gives us a chance to reach HaShem if only we would have followed
Him then when we came out of Egypt,by introducing Himself to Moshe by
saying,"Ani HaShem," in this first verse.To Moshe,Moshe warranted this
high state of revelation to be one with HaShem.Unfortunately the people
showed later that they didn't and so,we still await till today.HaShem
wishes to appear to each one of us and does,yet we just don't look.We
are too busy trying to live the physical that we don't even realize what
is in front of our eyes.HaShem has been there all the time,appearing to
us begging us to follow Him wholeheartedly and so,come close to Him,
yet we just continue in our own way and so ,while we do that,HaShem is
Still, to us, "I Shall Be."To bring about the full appearance of HaShem
in our present time,we need to stop our own ways and Foolow the ways and
Torah of The Holy One Blessed Be He.Then HaShem can appear to us as
'HaShem Is,' and not just 'HaShem will be.'May the time come now,that we
can again walk with HaShem in Gan Eiden as we did in the beginning and
finally bring Heaven down to us on Earth.For HaShem's Oneness appears
all the time.The Gematriah of the word "Va'Eirah," is 208 and 2+0+8 = 10
.1+0 = 1 . HaShem's Oneness. I wish HaShem with love a beautiful
special Shabbos Kodesh and I wish you all a beautiful Shabbos Kodesh.
