Our Parsha this Shabbos is Parshat Beshalach and starts out where our ancestors were sent out of Egypt.The word 'Beshalach,' means - 'In Sending.'It wasn't just that Pharoah sent us out,but this sending was unrelated to him.This was a sending from 'On High' as the word 'In Sending,' is separate from 'Pharoah' in this passage as it does not say 'Pharoah sent,' but -'Vayehi Beshalach Par'o,' -said literally,'And it happened in sending Pharoah,' as it was HaShem who 'sent' Pharoah to let the people go.Pharoah's ego would never have humbled itself,but HaShem had to hit Pharoah where it hurt-in Pharoah's son,who would continue as Pharoah.Once Pharoah saw that his son was killed in the Plague of Killing the First born,his purpose for living in that moment ceased for that would be the end of his imagined immortality through his blood son,so thus he ,in those moments decided to let us go even though his Yetzer Horah had not been won over by himself.Thus,HaShem had 'Beshalach' sent Pharoah' to send the Children of Israel' out of Mitzrayim.For Pharoah did not intend to let them go permanently,but to have them return at the end of three days as Moses had originally discussed with him.Pharoah fully intended that our people were to return and so,HaShem led us a specific way.At the Yam Suf,there was a deity in the vicinity called baal (Shemot 14 verse 9) and Pharoah had sent spies along with our people to see if they will come back after the three days.When his spies reported to him that they were not returning,but had reached the Yam Suf,word came to him that at the Yam Suf,the people seemed to turn back a little toward Egypt (Shemot 13 verse 18) .HaShem did this specifically so that Pharoah would be fooled into thinking that it was the deity baal who had gotten them to weaken Chas Ve Shalom as so,Pharoah thought that they were turning back.It was this thought of him thinking that we had weakened,that got him to send his soldiers after us.But HaShem had planned this all along.It was never a deity that had done anything ,showing that Pharoah still hadn't learn't his lesson to respect HaShem as the One and Only ,but HaShem's special plan to put an end to Pharoah's harassment of us would now take place once and for all.HaShem sometimes leads us on paths that we may wonder what point there is to them,but HaShem knows before hand what we don't see.We need to learn to have perfect faith in what HaShem requests of us and do it without question.The word 'Beshalach comes to 340 Gematrically and 3+4+0 = 7 ,the number value of the word Mashiach.Whenever we are freed from oppression,that is because HaShem deems it the time.It is HaShem that 'sends ' us out from exile.As it will be HaShem who sends Mashiach when we are deserving.Mashiach,though he tarries,we tarry him.Every redemption from our enemies is a 'Beshalach,' 'a sending from within',a sending from HaShem.'The exile of Egypt was to last much longer,but HaShem had mercy on us and we left before the time.Let us all pray to HaShem this Shabbos to 'Beshalach,' to send us out of galus into Olam Habah (The World To Come) and all do our part from now on,to see that we keep what HaShem tells us to keep.Let us gain HaShem's mercy with that which will please HaShem the most.Let us all show how much we love HaShem so much that we will do all He asks even if we don't agree with things and don't feel like following as HaShem requests us to.Let us our own needs aside and our own feelings and opinions aside and be HaShem's faithful servants.If we do this the HaShem will send us 'Beshalach-In Sending' Mashiach for within the word Beshalach is Mashiach (both words being Gematrically seven).Let us start now and trust where HaShem leads us for HaShem can open the sea for us -all we need to do is trust Him and let us do all HaShem asks of us so HaShem can finally bring on the final redemption with love and faithfulness.Let us trust HaShem and have faith in Hashem .With love to HaShem,I wish HaShem a beautiful Shabbos Kodesh of peace and to all,with love,a beautiful Shabbos Kodesh of peace .
