Parashas Bo

Our Parsha this Shabbos is Parashas Bo . HaShem here , Continues To Judge Egypt and so , the Haftorah of this Parsha is Yirmeyahu Jeremiah 46:13-28 , which speaks of a later date where HaShem Continues To Judge Egypt and Pharaoh , in a later happening .
The last Parsha ended with the Seventh Plague of Hail , where that Plague destroyed all crops that were above the ground and now HaShem Stands Ready To Destroy these crops that hadn't at that time sprouted yet , and so Does HaShem Send the Locust Swarm . HaShem Tells Moshe to " Bo " - " Come " to Pharaoh to warn him of the Locust Swarm into Egypt's Border and it will cover the surface of the Earth , so that it's surface will not be seen and it will consume the remaining residue left by the Hail and the Locust Swarm will fill the Egyptians' houses , such as has never been seen before such a Swarm .
By now , many of Pharaoh's officers and servants had realized that our G-D Is G-D and they came to Pharaoh and begged him to let us go, saying to him , ' do you not yet know that Egypt is lost . ' They referred to him in this tone because he had gone so far as to protect his own pride and honour , that his own logic and intelligence could not even realize reason anymore . Such is arrogance and pride , that loses a person , their Given intelligence and wisdom . So Pharaoh called Moshe and Aharon and asked them which ones are going for this ' three day journey ' to make offerings to G-D , and Moshe responds so beautifully , ' with our youngsters and with our elders shall we go;with our sons and with our daughters , with our flocks and with our cattle shall we go , because it is a Festival Of HaShem for us . ' A Festival For HaShem , for HaShem Is Not Happy when His beloved people are in bondage , and does not like to have us punished , for it Hurts Him more , the same as a Father who loves his child would feel , when he has to punish his beloved child . Pharaoh allows us to go , with our children and refers to the ' evil intent ' on Moshe and Aharon's faces , in reference to that he, deep down wonders if they will return after the said three days . Evil it was certainly not , but those who are evil , will even see holy and good actions and people , as bad to them and a halt to the real evil people's intent to stop the real evil people's wishes to hurt and destroy the good , as Pharaoh wanted to do with us Jews . Pharaoh then had an instant change of heart , and straight away , said that only the men could go , for he said that only men make offerings and Pharaoh drove them out of his palace .
HaShem Told Moshe to stretch his hand over the land of Egypt and the Locust Swarm would descend upon Egypt . HaShem Here performed an amazing Miracle , for in order for Moshe to be able to stretch his hand over Egypt , a part of Moshe would have had to be high above Egypt , spiritually , above Earth and this is what HaShem Did , Raising a part of Moshe's Neshoma high above Egypt , above the Earth . Oh Blessed Art Thou HaShem . HaShem Guided an East Wind through that day and night and the next morning , HaShem Had the East Wind carry the Locust Swarm over all of Egypt , where not even a single patch of Earth in Egypt could be seen , for the whole land inch by inch , was covered by the Locust Swarm , but only in the borders of Egypt , so again , an ancient land border dispute was settled between Egypt and Cush .The Land became dark , as dark as the Egyptians characters , within their lack of holiness and morals .The Swarm ate all the grass of the land of Egypt , where not even a single blade of grass remained in the entire land of Egypt .These were no ordinary Locusts , for they had claws of lions and teeth of leopards and the strength of bulls . The Locusts ripped out the eyes of the Egyptians and so , decimated Egypt and many of its people . HaShem Sent Locusts as punishment for how the Egyptians used to force Jews to go hunting for Locusts , so the Egyptians could salt and eat them , for this was a delicacy with Egyptians . The Jews found it very hard to bring such thing for the Egyptians' food and also found it very hard to crawl on their hands and knees in order to catch them , as they were forced to do by the Egyptians . Also , the Jews were made to work in terrible sand storms that hurt their eyes and we were not allowed to take shelter and so HaShem Sent modified Locusts to rip out the Eyes of these very Egyptians that treated us so cruelly . Pharaoh called for Moshe and Aharon and begged for this Plague of seven kinds of Locust , for seven types of sins the Egyptians committed , to be taken away and so Moshe entreated HaShem and HaShem Turned Back a West wind , to carry the Locust Swarm to the Sea of Reeds ( awaiting the Egyptians , to attack them again , when the Egyptians chased B'nei Yisrael , into the Yam Suf Reed Sea ) , for Pharaoh had admitted that he had sinned . Not a single Locust was left in Egypt , and even to this day , Locusts are not often found in Egypt . Pharaoh again changed his mind and didn't let us leave .
The Ninth Plague , as the other third Plague in every set of three , came without warning . HaShem Told Moshe to stretch forth his hand toward Heaven and Darkness would be on the Land of Egypt . A Darkness that would be tangible . And so , Moshe obeyed and for the first three days , there was a darkness over Egypt , mild at first , for suddenly , it was as if someone had just turned the light off . The Egyptians were still able to light lights like we would light candles and were somehow able to find their way , but then suddenly , a very thick darkness , set in that was like a wall all around a person so that they couldn't even move , get up or sit , depending on where they were and in what position they were , when it started . This heavy darkness , is the one referred to , for the three day period that Torah Mentions . Even the Star Light went dark over Egypt and no matter how the Egyptians tried to light fire lights , they would not work . This too, was a strike against the Egyptian's belief in astrology , that they relied upon , to keep hurting us , for to the Egyptians , the stars were not visible to them . The Darkness descended only over Egypt . Goshen had Light and the Egyptians were shown visions of how the Jews came into their houses , to check exactly where they hid their valuables , that would be pay , when we left Egypt , for all the years of our bondage , and so that the Egyptians would not be able to say they have nothing for now we knew exactly where their things were kept , but never took anything then , and only when we left Egypt , did the Egyptians themselves give us their valuables . This Plague of Darkness , was a very direct suggestion to the Egyptians , that we were of light spiritually and that they were unholy immoral darkness . For three days , the Egyptians had no Sun , that hit at them for HaShem Had now Showed them that their fake false idol worship deity 'ra' was a nothing but false idol worship and only HaShem Is In Control of And Creates all , in Creation . This Plague was a punishment at the Egyptians , who turned our days around to night , by making us work at night instead of day and when day came , they made us work again saying that this would be our night and pain and hurt and that we would never see the light of day and that we would be killed like darkness Chas Ve Shalom , So HaShem , Turned their days and nights around And Put the Egyptians in total darkness . Our Rabbis Say that HaShem Brought the darkness from the beginning of Creation , and put it on Egypt . The Egyptians could not even move and had to stay in one place , for as I mentioned , the Darkness was like a thick hard wall , where no Light entered . Some of our people sadly perished too in this Plague , those that supported Egypt and that did not want to leave and did not want G-D at all , but they were not seen dying , as HaShem Specially took them in the Darkness , so as to keep it from the Egyptians . After the three days , Pharaoh had Moshe summoned and told him that we could go , but our flocks and cattle must remain . Moshe informed him that we must offer the lamb , which is a false deity of Egypt and so must take our flocks and cattle too . Pharaoh's heart hardened and he flew into a rage and he threatened Moshe that Moshe should not see his face again for on the day he does , he would surely die . Moshe , now angry , responded , " you have spoken correctly , I shall never see your face again , " and Moshe told him that Pharaoh and his servants would come looking for Moshe and beg us to leave quickly . In order to keep Moshe's word , HaShem for the first time , Appeared to Moshe in the palace and warned of the Tenth and final Plague , after which , Pharaoh would let us go , The Slaying of the First born of Egypt . Ten Plagues , for Pharaoh ( who false claimed he was deified ) never acknowledged HaShem , Who Created Creation , with Ten Pronouncements . Moshe related HaShem's Words of this final Plague to Pharaoh . Then Moshe turned his back on Pharaoh and left the Palace .
HaShem Then Gave Moshe Instructions on what to do , with the lamb , the false deity of Egypt , to tie it to the bedpost for four days , and then slaughter it and its blood to be put on the Lintel and two door posts and so became our Passover . HaShem Told Moshe how this Plague would happen at midnight , a time dogs in Egypt would bark , and so , the Torah's comment in Shemos 11:7 , in reference to dogs , that also pulled up the dead Egyptian's first born bones , during the Tenth Plague .
HaShem Then Gave us the Commandment of fixing the time for Rosh Chodesh , the New Moon , something HaShem Had Previously Done , but would now give us this Mitzvah and this was the first Mitzvah we were given here at this time . HaShem Showed Moshe exactly how the New Moon would look and so , would the Sanhedrin be in charge of fixing this time of the New Moon , through the ages , HaShem Instructed on the Laws of the Paschal Lamb and cautioned us to remember this through the ages , with bitter herbs and Matzos unleavened bread , which when we left and didn't have time for the bread to rise , the Matzos on that first Passover night was so precious to us , that we put the valuables on our donkeys , but the wrapped up Matzos , we kept and carried on our shoulders . The Korban Pesach was to be roasted , so that it's smell , would hit the noses of the Egyptians so that they would pain over their false lamb deity . HaShem , at this time , Took His Legions out of Egypt , which included our People and his Angels that were there too .
At Midnight , HaShem Came Down with thousands of Destroying Angels and HaShem Smote every firstborn in Egypt and even an Egyptian abroad , in other places and countries . None escaped and seeing as the Egyptians were an immoral people , they had many first-borns out of wedlock, so every single Egyptian house, had dead Egyptians .Hiding in Goshen didn't help the Egyptians , for they died where they stood . Even heads of households in Egypt died . Here was HaShem's Punishment for what the Egyptians did to our First Borns and for Pharaoh bathing in the blood of Jewish children 150 Jewish children's blood in the morning and 150 Jewish children's blood at night for seven days . HaShem Destroyed all the idols, where metal ones melted and wooden ones rotted . There was an elderly Egyptian woman who mocked Moshe's words , when Moshe had left Pharaoh's Palace after relaying about this Plague to Pharaoh , and said that she didn't even have anymore first-borns , so this Plague wouldn't touch her , and Moshe warned her and her mockery , that she would suffer first for her happiness at our pain and mockery , and so , when the Plague first started , her dead son was dug up by dogs and brought to her doorstep . The Egyptians were a very low spiritual race of people , being the lowest in negativity at the time . She and her son when he was alive , had molested little children . The Destructive Angels wouldn't discriminate between Jew and Egyptian and so HaShem had instructed that we mark our doors .It was also to test our obedience , for HaShem Knew who was and was not a Jew . The Destructive Angels , when let loose , are prepared to kill indiscriminately , and view a person's behaviour for that person's amount of sins which they can see on a person's forehead , and who , is without sin . So HaShem Really Protected His People that night and even those of our people that were ordained to pass away , Were Spared By HaShem .
Pharaoh, being a first-born, was kept alive , to witness the Splitting of the Yam Suf Reed Sea . Pharaoh , fearing for his very life , got a chariot and rode with servants in a hurry to Goshen , for his own son had also died , sitting on his very throne , and in arriving in Goshen , asked for where the home of Moshe was . He was shown this way and that until he finally arrived at Moshe's home . He called to Moshe to come out , but Moshe told him that HaShem Had Instructed them not to leave the homes till morning and he asked Moshe to at least open the door to him , which Moshe denied , for he would not break his word not to see Moshe again and so Pharaoh begged Moshe to at least come to the window , which Moshe did , but kept well back so their eyes never met . Pharaoh told Moshe to have us leave immediately for Egypt was dying , but Moshe told him that we couldn't leave till morning for we had been instructed to stay in our homes till morning . Pharaoh begged Moshe about how this Plague could be stopped and Moshe told him that he must call out in Goshen that we Jews are free to leave . Pharaoh did this and his voice was made louder so all could hear , even in Egypt and Pharaoh even went from house to house knocking on doors telling Jews they were free . Two Hundred and Ten years did we spend in slavery in Egypt , the exact Gematrical value of the Hebrew word " R'du " in Bereishis 42:2 , where Yaakov tells his sons to " Go down " to Egypt .
The Egyptians Were , By HaShem Made to look upon us with favor and gave us their valuables before we left Egypt . While that was happening , Moshe was busy on a different task . The finding of Yosef's coffin . For that , he asked Serach bas Asher , who had been given extra years of life , after she was the one to play a role in reviving her grandfather Yaakov , with the news of Yosef still being alive in Egypt . She told Moshe that Yosef's coffin had been sunk into the Nile . Moshe went to the exact place on the banks of the Nile , that she had pointed out , and called to Yosef to arise and float up , but nothing happened . Our Rabbis say that either Moshe took Yosef's silver Goblet and wrote on that or that he took a piece of Parchment , on which he wrote or drew four creatures , an eagle , human , lion and bull and only when the human was mentioned , did Yosef's coffin arise , so we could fulfill our promise to carry Yosef out of Egypt . This scroll or cup pieces was later found by Micha , who went along when we left Egypt . It was the words for bull , written on this parchment , that he threw into the fire , when the bull calf idol came out of the furnace , at the golden calf incident . This Micha was one of the babies set to be put by Pharaoh into the wall as bricks and Moshe asked that he be saved . HaShem Knew what he would do. HaShem Knows all .
HaShem Sanctified every First - Born and Instructed us to Remember the Exodus from Egypt . HaShem Instructed us to tell our children of this and the Parsha ends , with HaShem Telling us of Tefillin and How HaShem Removed us With A Strong Hand . So ends the Parsha .
HaShem Asks Moshe to " Bo " - " Come " to Pharaoh , For HaShem Is Most Humble And Wants Moshe ( who was very humble ) and us all to be humble . HaShem Doesn't Tell Moshe to " Go to Pharaoh , " but uses a more humble quiet peaceful word , " Bo " - " Come . " So does HaShem Want us to be . HaShem Doesn't Thrust Himself upon us , But Comes To us Nicely And Sweetly And With Loving Peace , With all His Beautiful Creation That HaShem Makes - The Soft petals of the flowers that look up to us and beautify our World of HaShem , the sweet voice of our children that we are Given , the Beautiful World around us that HaShem Makes For us every day For us to see , the loving friends and family that we are Given , the tender moments That HaShem Gives us With our partners every day and the Wonder of Creation That HaShem Made And Continues To Make , all these and so much more , Does HaShem Quietly Give us To Enjoy , But Ever So Humbly , without HaShem Showing Himself for even as much as a thank you . So does HaShem " Bo " - " Come " to us every day , if we would only just open our eyes and look deeper .
So should we all " Bo " - " Come " to HaShem , every minute HaShem Gives us life , Coming to HaShem in total obedience and love , humbly following HaShem in total obedience to HaShem's Torah . It is so little HaShem Asks of us , and it is for our own sakes . Surely we can do this . Surely we can give of ourselves for and to HaShem , As HaShem Gives us the whole of Creation , Just For us To enjoy . All things Belong To HaShem . So must we therefore follow HaShem's Laws , in Creation and with all humility and love and obedience , " Bo " - " Come " to HaShem In Love , Just As HaShem " Bo " - " Comes " To us every day , every moment , every instant , With Life And Love And Creation . May we all follow HaShem humbly , in obedience and so , open up the door to Olam Habah , and Shamaim , and so , Will HaShem HaKadosh Baruch Hu The Holy One Blessed Be He , " Bo " - " Come " To us More Closely With Love .
I wish HaShem With Forever Love , A Very Special And Sweet And Beautiful Shabbos Kodesh With Forever Love and to all my fellow Jews and all of HaShem's Beautiful Creation , a Very Special , Sweet and Beautiful Shabbos Kodesh with love .

Parashas Va'eira

The Sedra starts with Elokim Speaking to Moshe and Telling him That He " Va'eira , " - " Appeared " To Avraham, Yitzchak and Yaakov as El Shaddai , where " Dai , " means 'Sufficient , " Where HaShem Created Creation with limits of that Creation , by the Laws of Nature and how far those Laws extend , but now that HaShem Was Showing Mercy To His People , He Would Now Extend those normal Laws of Nature , Revealing His Magnificence , Show all , That He Is The One And Only Creator , which is also an act of mercy , for it gives the people the opportunity to come on to the right path and Follow Him , for their own Good and so , " A-donai - HaShem , " refers now to HaShem's Attribute of Mercy , Which He Would Now Make Himself Known As , By Extending Beyond the Laws and Limits of Nature , Through the Wonders of the Plagues , He Would Perform .
HaShem Here , in Shemos 6 : 6 - 7 refers to four specific actions HaShem Will Do for us Jews , " I Shall Take you out ; I Shall Rescue you ; I Shall Redeem you ; I Shall Take you to Me as a people , " and so , on Pesach night at the Seder , we thus have four cups of Wine . In the next verse , HaShem Tells us That , " I Shall Bring ... and I Shall Give , " and this fifth pronouncement , some say is commemorated by the other cup of wine for Eliyahu Ha Navi , where we look toward the Messianic Era , where we will live safely in our own Land of Israel ( also mentioned in this next verse I refer to ) .
HaShem Tells Moshe to " Come " speak to Pharaoh to send the Children of Israel from his land . The word " Come " is used and not " Go , " for Pharaoh is still a king and must be respected as such , with politeness and not aggressive orders . The family line is then given of Moshe and Aharon , back to the Tribe of Levi , showing their genuineness from this line . Aharon married Elisheva Bas Amminadav , sister of Nahshon , from the kingly Tribe of Yehudah . Torah also Tells us that one of Aharon's four sons Elazar married a daughter of Putiel ( which Ramban refers to as being either Yisro or Yosef ) , and this union brought a very holy son called Pinchas , who was the only one , that HaShem Made a Kohein by his holy actions , due to his own actions of standing up for the honour of HaShem and his teacher Moshe , in the Book of Bamidbar . Moshe was 80 and his brother Aharon was 83 , when they went unto Pharaoh and asked him to let our people go . Moshe gave Aharon his staff and Aharon cast down the staff before Pharaoh and Pharaoh's servants , and HaShem Turned it into a snake . Pharaoh mocked them and told them that they are charlatans that come to a place of magic and perform and try and sell their magic and that he won't be taken in by tricks . Moshe responded that it is exactly for that reason that they perform by HaShem such an action , for the Egyptians would thus be able to appreciate it . Pharaoh called his wise men and they did likewise . Aharon's snake ate up the others . Bilaam , was that day present and mocked Moshe , to an advisor , saying that such an action is not such a great feat , and if they really want to show how good they are , let them have their staff consume the other staffs , and so , Aharon again threw the staff down and Moshe's staff , ate up the other staffs , as a staff , and this is why Torah says that Aharon's staff swallowed their staffs , in Shemos 7:12 , but Pharaoh's heart was stubborn and so , did not heed HaShem .
Every morning , Pharaoh would go down to the Nile to bathe . So HaShem Told Moshe to meet him there the next morning and again tell him to let the people go . Each Plague that HaShem Sent was in sets of three , where in each set of three , only for the first two , would Pharaoh get a warning and the third one , not . Also , our Rabbonim tells us that the warnings would be for three weeks and each plague lasted a week . No matter how Pharaoh would order his men not to let Moshe and Aharon in , they would somehow , with the Help Of HaShem , still get in to speak to Pharaoh . So Moshe was there waiting for Pharaoh when he arrived and Pharaoh , scolded Moshe for disturbing him , for Pharaoh wanted to enter the River with nothing on and told Moshe to wait until he had finished bathing , which Moshe politely did . HaShem Commanded Moshe to hand the staff to Aharon , to start this Plague , for Moshe felt that he should not smite a River that protected him as a baby , when he was in the basket , and so Aharon stretched out the staff and struck the water in the presence of Pharaoh and his servants and all the water turned to blood . This first Plague , was a punishment for the Jewish babies that were thrown into this very Nile and also for the Jewish children that this Pharaoh slaughtered ( 150 in the morning and 150 at night for seven nights ) , for his bath . Also , the Egyptians made the Jews serve with rigor and the taskmasters beat them mercilessly , so their sweat conjealed with their blood that dropped on the floor , in slavery . The entire Land of Egypt stank , as the Egyptians used mock the smell of the Jews with the smell of the brick pits . Stones and Wood , even in Pharaoh's Palace bled blood as did every drop of water become Blood to every Egyptian . But the Jews had clean and pure water . If an Egyptian came to Goshen and took water , as soon as it touched his or her hand , it instantly became blood . Even the saliva in the mouth of the Egyptians and their urine became blood . If their eyes watered , it became blood . Their very sweat was tainted with blood . Only if the Egyptians came to buy water from us , did it remain water . The Chartumim - Necromancers of Egypt were also , through their powers of Tum'a Impurity , able to turn small amounts of water into blood and so Pharaoh's heart hardened . The Necromancers - Chartumim were totally impure . We see this within the Hebrew word for them for , within the word " Chartumim ," is the word " Tamei " - " Impure . " Egypt's disputes of border with Ethiopia were now settled , for , though the River Nile was a long river going through Africa , only the part that was in Egypt , turned Red with Blood .
HaShem Sent Moshe to Pharaoh to tell him to let us go and serve HaShem , for should he refuse , HaShem Would send Frogs throughout the boundary of Egypt , again , this Plague making clear to Egypt , what was their boundary . The word " Frog " - " Tzefardeah ( which means ' to fit in ' ) " named by Adam Ha Rishon , was as prophetic as all his namings of the animals , for he foresaw that the Frogs would one day ' fit in ' to the ovens and bodies of the Egyptians , for HaShem's Sake . This Plague was a punishment to the Egyptians , who used to make the Jews collect all kinds of hideous and dangerous creatures , some far away , so that our Jewish men would be kept away from their wives in an attempt to stop our growth and so , Frogs en masse growth , descended upon Egypt . Again HaShem Said To Moshe that Aharon was to stretch his hand with the staff over the Rivers and canals and reservoirs and so , raise up frogs over the land of Egypt . This too was a punishment from throwing our Jewish babies into the River . As soon as this was done , HaShem Caused to come out of the River a single massive Frog . We see this in Torah in Shemos 8: 2 where the word Frog here is in the singular . This particular monstrous Frog , obviously had a mission in mind , for it started to walk up directly toward Pharaoh's Palace . The Egyptians came out with sticks and started to try and hit it . Some of the Egyptians that were trying to strike it , this massive monstrous frog ate , and others it killed and with every blow struck on it , millions of Frogs came out of its mouth . These Frogs attacked Egyppt , going into everything . The Egyptians tried to close up and board up their homes , but to no avail , as the Frogs came up through the floor boards . This was a terrible Plague . The Frogs continued to croak and go into the Egyptians' food and even bodies , not giving them a moment's rest , just as the Egyptians had not given us a moment's rest in slavery to breath . The Frogs even went into their beds and bit at the Egyptians from outside and inside their bodies , even castrating the men - a punishment for the Egyptians trying to stop us having children . The Frogs Croaked from within their bodies that they would only leave when HaShem Would have Moshe remove them . Some of the Frogs put their own lives in danger by jumping into the ovens and those Frogs were saved . The Necromancers of Egypt were also able to bring up a few Frogs , but couldn't remove them . Each time the Egyptians hit the Frogs , hundreds others would appear in their place . Pharaoh called Moshe and Aharon , begging that the Frogs be removed . Moshe asked Pharaoh when he wanted them removed , and he answered trying to trick Moshe , thinking the Plague would be expected by Pharaoh to be removed the same day , so Pharaoh said " Tomorrow , " and so it was , thus making them all suffer an extra day . Moshe didn't do this Plague either for again the Nile that had covered him Through HaShem , had helped save him . Moshe and Aharon left Pharaoh's presence and entreated HaShem and the following day , the Frogs died and were piled up , four heaps ( some say ten ) to a household . Those that had jumped into the ovens for HaShem's Sake , survived and returned to the River . The land stank from the dead Frogs , as a punishment to the Egyptian's complaints and mocking the Jews for the smell of them from the brick pits . Pharaoh again heardened his heart . So up until the fifth Plague , HaShem Still Gave Pharaoh an opportunity to repent and stop this , but Pharaoh didn't and so , that is why the more Pharaoh changed his mind and hardened his own heart , the more HaShem Gave him the hard heart he kept choosing , but Pharaoh at all times still could choose to let us go . The next and Third Plague came with no warning , and this also Aharon and not Moshe did , for it included the very dust that had tried to help protect Moshe , when he had killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand and the dust and sand had helped to try cover his action . So HaShem said to Moshe to have Aharon stretch out Moshe's staff and strike the dust of the land and it would become lice in Egypt on man and beast . This was a punishnent for the Egyptians that used to make the Jews sweep dust in Egypt , a never ending pointless task . Also , the Jews in the slave pits were not permitted to wash and so , contracted lice and this was a return attack back on the Egyptians . The Lice never stopped biting , and so the Egyptians cried out in pain . They couldnt even rest . Exactly what they did to us . The Plague of Lice , stopped us from being slaves , for their was no sand to make bricks , only lice . This is also why Yaakov didn't want to be buried in Egypt , as the dust around there was to become Lice . Pharaoh called his Chartumim , but they couldn't do this , making dust into lice , for their negative Tum'a powers don't hold strength against anything smaller than a barley-corn and so these necromancers had to admit defeat and say " This is the Finger of G-D . " Evil magic has no power over such a small thing as dust , for as it says in the Gemorrah , that the smallest size that can contract Tum'a is a barley-corn , so their Tum'a - Impurity , would not work on it . Again , Pharaoh wanted it stopped , but his heart was again hardened .
Pharaoh thought if he went earlier to the water , he could avoid Moshe , but HaShem Had Moshe be there earlier , to again ask for us to leave , warning him of the fourth Plague of Wild Beasts . Again another Plague that would only affect Egyptians , while we were left alone .
HaShem Sent a swarm of wild beasts upon Egypt . And Egypt and its people were completely under attack . If we look carefully at Shemos 8:17 , it says clearly that HaShem Sent the swarm of Wild beasts and also " and even the ground upon which they are . " This meant that HaShem didn't only send Wild Beasts , but actually uprooted entire forests , the place where the wild beasts lived , and Miraculously dropped it on Egypt , so the Egyptian homes suddenly found themselves in the midst of a forest of wild beasts , that attacked and killed them at every opportunity , as the Egyptians had done to us . This was a punishment for the Egyptians sending us to far away lands to catch wild dangerous animals , thus keeping us away from our wives and putting us in the position to be killed , wanting to try stop our growth . No matter where the Egyptians hid , it didn't help , for even sea creatures and Octapi and giant squids came out of the water , climbed up on their rooves and pulled up their roof covering . If Egyptians walked with their babies next to a Jew , the Jew was left alone , while a wolf would come and take one of their babies and a bear , would grab the other . Pharaoh summoned Moshe and Aharon and begged for the Wild Beasts to be removed , saying we could bring offerings to HaShem , but only in Egypt . Moshe told him that we will offer the sheep , that Egypt worships and the Egyptians would stone us . So Pharaoh said we could go , but not far off . Moshe prayed to HaShem that the Swarm be removed , but as soon as it was , Pharaoh again hardened his heart .
HaShem Sent Moshe to Pharaoh to warn of the Fifth Plague as an Epidemic that would hit the animals of the Egyptians , a punishment for the Egyptians not allowing us to tend our own flocks and for trying to steal our livestock , as they would graze some of their livestock near ours in Goshen . Now there would be no doubt whose was whose . This Epidemic would hit the livestock in the fields . But ours would be unharmed . And so , the next day , the Epidemic hit and killed the Egyptian's livestock . Again , when this was removed , Pharaoh's heart hardened . So the Sixth Plague came without warning .
HaShem Had Moshe and Aharon each take handfuls of furnace soot in their two hands . Miraculously , Moshe would then hold his own two and Aharon's two hanfuls in his one hand and throw it so high that it would go up to Heaven , leaving the Earth's Atmosphere ( a miracle for soot can't be thrown high at all ) and it would turn all the dust , before Pharaoh , into boils , the Sixth Plague . These boils were unlike anything that had ever hit anyone , for inside they were soft and outside they were crusty , so that no matter what the Egyptians put on them as a salve , it never helped , for what would soften the crusty part , added to the wetness inside and what would harden the wetness , inside , would harden the crusty part even more , thus causing them more pain and discomfort . The Egyptians were known , at the time for their permanent make -up techniques , far more modern than other nations , which they would then use as a way to idol worship , so here , HaShem Was Ruining the very skin they tried so hard to fashion , for their idol worship , the very skin they thanked their idol deities for , that HaShem Alone As The One And Only Creator , Had Created . The Egyptians couldn't even stand and so , this was punishment for them making us wait on them and standing all the time , never letting us rest and even stop to scratch an itch . The Necromancers were so hit by the Plague that they couldn't even stand before Pharaoh and so , they all died in this Plague and were never mentioned again in Torah .It was also the necromancers of Egypt , that had also advised Pharaoh , to throw the Jewish boys in the Nile to try stop the coming of Moshe . Again when this Plague was removed , Pharaoh's heart hardened .
HaShem Asked Moshe to " Come to Pharaoh " much earlier , so Pharaoh couldn't avoid it , no matter how much or how early he tried . Moshe pointed to Pharaoh's sundial and made a mark on it that at that exact time the next day , HaShem Would Send a very heavy Hail against Egypt and warned them to take their Livestock under shelter . Those that did , were saved . HaShem Instructed Moshe to stretch his hand toward Heaven and so did HaShem Send the Seventh Plague of Hail at the exact moment that Moshe had marked on the sundial . This was no ordinary Hail . Such a Hail had never been before . Each block of Hail was massive , four- hands full large . The bottom of the Hail , was pure hard ice and the middle was Ice in which its centre was fire and the top of each Hail stone was pure fire , each one sharp as a razor , cut down trees and people that were outside . Everything that was outside was struck and died . Only the Jews in Goshen were safe . Even if an Egyptian tried to hide among Jews in Goshen , as they had done in the past , when they tried to catch out the Jewish Mothers giving birth , so as to kill our babies , in the previous Pharaoh's time , the Hail Miraculously appeared in the houses and sliced the Egyptians to pieces , but the Jews were left unharmed . Here , two opposing forces of Fire and Ice , were coming together to work together for the Sake of HaShem . Pharaoh sent for Moshe and Aharon and he finally admits his sin and that HaShem Is The Righteous One and that he and his people are wicked . Pharaoh begged Moshe to entreat HaShem To Have the Hail Removed . Moshe mentions that he would leave the city to pray to HaShem , for the city was filled with idols and was certainly not a pure place to pray to HaShem , for the Hail to go . Our Rabbis tell us that Moshe had actually built a little hut just outside the city , where he would go to pray and this little huts place , in our day's time was actually made into a little Synagogue . So Moshe went out of the city to entreat HaShem , and as soon as he stretched out his hands , the Hail stopped . Even the Hail on its way down , was suspended in mid air and never fell . Some of this Hail actually fell on our enemies later on in history and the rest will fall on Gog and Magog , at the End Of Days . As soon as Pharaoh saw it had stopped , his heart became strong and stubborn again and he did not send out the Children of Israel , as HaShem Had Told Moshe that he would do , and so , Does HaShem , If He Sees a person refuses to veer from the evil and wrong path , after giving them many opportunities to do so , eventually Let's them carry on in that path and so bring themselves down . So ends the Parsha .
As we see , this Parsha is aptly named " Va'eira , " - " Appeared , " for HaShem Shows Himself through His Wonders that He Performed here . In HaShem " Va'eira , " - " Appearing , " we are to Fear Him . The word " Fear " - " Yarei " in Hebrew is within the word " Va'eira " for we are to Fear HaShem and Obey Him Always . Before these Plagues , HaShem Was Known As " El Shadai , " For He Had Set Limits on Nature in His Creation . Here , HaShem Went Beyond those limits , in Making Nature do and act in ways it never does , and so , HaShem In His Mercy for His People , Would Now also be Known as " HaShem A-donai " Who Goes beyond those Limits He Sets as rules for Nurture , In Order To Save us . How can we not Fear His Awesomeness And Power Beyond Power Beyond Power . Within this " Ve'eira " is the Word " Ohr " - " Light , " for HaShem Fills His Creation With His Light , especially When He " Va'eira " - " Appears , " and even when He Hides Himself , we are to do His Mitzvos and Follow His Torah and thus release His Holy Sparks of " Ohr " - " Light " and Thus Reveal Him , Having Him " Va'eira " - " Appear , " to us , In Love . The word " Va'eira " comes to 208 in Gematriah , which adds up to 10 , the number of Pronouncements HaShem Made in Creating Creation , and the Number of Commandments at Har Sinai . So each Time HaShem " Va'eira " - " Appears " and Reveals Himself To us , whether it be in the form of Tests , or an actual Vision , or even His Beautiful Soft Voice Talking to us from within , we are to Let His Light come out of us and know that He Loves us and Has Taken The Time to Show us Something . So , we must look deeper within each happening and know that we are here to serve HaShem , not just ourselves . HaShem Does Nothing for Himself . All He Does and Creates , is purely for and with His Love For us . So When He Reveals Himself to us , we need to listen . The pathway to Him , is through His Holy Torah , in which He Reveals Himself . Hashem Reveals Himself to us within every Holy Word of Torah , if we only learn It and look deeper into every Word Of His Holy Torah . This is one of the reasons that HaShem Wants us to Learn Torah , for in Revealing Himself Within Each Holy Torah Word , HaShem Is Thus " Va'eira " - " Appearing " To us and so He Is Thus Coming Closer To us , For HaShem Wants a Closer Relationship With each and every one of us That He Created . Torah is also for us to climb higher Spiritually and better ourselves and grow and Torah brings us closer to HaShem . When we listen , HaShem " Va'eira " - " Appears " to us With Love In So Many Ways . So , His " Va'eira " - " Appearing " as I mentioned , is like the Beauty of His Creation and also the Giving of His Ten Commandments , and so , the way to heal the wrongs we have done and put Creation , back from where we took it from , and from where it was heading , is to Keep those very Commandments and all of His Torah Revelation to us , and then , we can await , His Long- Awaited " Va'eira " - " Appearance " within The End Of Days Of Olam Habah with HaShem's Love .
I wish HaShem With Ever Deep Love , A Most Beautiful , Special and Sweet Shabbos Kodesh With Deepest Love and to all my fellow Jews and all of Creation , a very Beautiful , Special and Sweet Shabbos Kodesh with love .

Parashas Shemos

Our Parsha this Shabbos is Parashas Shemos , starting the Second Book of The Torah , the Book of Shemos Exodus and introducing us to a most holy and most humble beloved Prophet Moshe . The Haftorah is in Yeshayahu Isaiah 27:6-28:13,29:22-23 ( talking of the increase of Israel as a nation , the people of Yaakov that became a "Shemos " - " Name " in this Parsha ) and according to Sephardic Reading Yirmeyahu 1:1-2:3 ( also a prophet called by HaShem as Moshe was called ) . I just want to take this opportunity to thank Beloved HaShem for Giving me what to write in my Parsha writing every week and this week . Thank you my Beloved HaShem .
Yosef , who had become ruler in Egypt after Pharaoh , had passed away and also , his brothers too , the last one to pass away from that generation , was Levi and after they passed away , our people stopped being so careful not to mix with the Egyptian way of life , attending their functions and being less careful to shun their idols . Though we kept our Jewish names there , some of our people , mixed too closely with Egyptian society and started to forget our holy Jewish traditions , sadly like happens today in our times . The Tribe of Levi , though remained faithful to HaShem and didn't assimilate , and so , were rewarded by HaShem , by not being included in the forced slavery labour , in Egypt . HaShem , Caused a Miracle To Take Place , that the Jewish People , were Blessed to become very fruitful , teeming and increasing greatly in the land , being very physically strong , some families having sextuplets .
After Yosef passed away , a new King Pharaoh ( believed to have been a king Seti ) was appointed over Egypt , " New " in the form of one who did not remain faithful to the assistance HaShem Had Given , through Yosef , in saving the country from the Famine , and noticing the increase of our people , called his advisors , for the Egyptian hierarchy constantly spoke to him of their concern that the Canaanites might attack them , wanting their money back that they paid for the grain during the years of famine and seeing that the Jews were from Canaan , the Egyptians feared that we would join the Canaanites and attack Egypt , for Canaan was on one side of Egypt , while we in Goshen , were on the other and some of the Egyptians feared , that they would be stuck in the middle . Of course this fear was unfounded , and this Pharaoh tried at first to remind them that it was Yosef , a member of the Jewish people , who had helped them , but the elite of Egypt would hear nothing of it and they ousted this Pharaoh and for three months , Egypt sat without a head ruler . The pressure put on this Pharaoh , caused him to change his mind , and after the three months , he again ascended the throne , with new ideals , pro Egypt and Anti - Jewish , so he could keep his position .Bilaam ( Lot's grandson and terrible enemy of the Jews ) , at the time was one of the advisors to Pharaoh , who pushed the hatred of the Jews to even higher levels , ensuring that Pharaoh institute new decrees against the Jews , like forbidding Circumcision . They devised a plan to halt the increase of Jews being born and the idea was to separate man and wife , by putting men to hard labour day and night . But this didn't happen straight away . Pharaoh and Bilaam and the advisors were crafty and deceitful and at first , made the call up to work , like a big mission for the country , as if to pay the country a great service , advertising a new work project for people to volunteer for and pay was offered . It was made to appear very lucrative and Egyptians came streaming in , to join . Egyptians were told to tell their Jewish neighbors that Egypt had been very good to them and so , they too should show their gratitude by volunteering . To make it look even more like a very important task , Pharaoh himself appeared at the work site with spade in hand and showed how he too would dig and work for this important project . But the Egyptians were deceitful and so , the places chosen for the project , Pithom and Raamses , were places full of swampy ground , where no building project at the time could possibly succeed or ever get finished , and thus , any attempt to build there , would never end , for building structures would constantly topple and fall and thus more hard labor would be put on the Jews .
Pharaoh carried on with this supposed mock project for a month , where Egyptians would still come and partake , but suddenly after the first month , every day , there would be fewer Egyptians , until , only Jews were left working . Suddenly pay for the tasks ended and new task-masters were appointed to oversee that the Jews couldn't leave and had to continue working , or be severely whipped , should they even stop for a breather break . The following day , the Jews tried to not go , but Pharaoh sent forces to force them out of their homes and so , the years of slavery for us started with a vengeance . Women too were forced to labor and some were put to hard tasks that were for men . At night , the Jews hoped for a reprieve of a small rest , but then too , were forced by the individual Egyptians to come and slave in their houses . Pharaoh saw that no matter how much they slaved , the Jews kept increasing for HaShem Continued His Miracle For us and also the Jewish women would beautify themselves with their mirrors to ensure their husbands would still be with them and our children were still increasing .
Pharaoh called the Hebrew Midwives Shifrah ( who was Moshe's Ima Yocheved ) and Puah ( who was Moshe's little sister Miriam ) and ordered them to kill every male born , but to keep the female children alive ( and they were ordered to never even tell the Jews what Pharaoh had ordered them to do but to do it secretly ) , but they courageously disobeyed and when Pharaoh called them and asked why they didn't listen to him , they answered that the Jewish women give birth on their own without even the need of a midwife , and so the children get born before they even get there . HaShem Rewarded them and increased our people even more .
Pharaoh had a dream that all his soldiers and strong men were tied up and put on one side of a scale while the Jews represented by a single little lamb was on the other side of the scale , and the single lamb , weighed down the scale , thus overpowering the Egyptians . Pharaoh awoke in panic and Pharaoh again called his advisors who were Bilaam , Yisro ( who became Moshe's Father-In-Law ) and Iyov ( Job ) and asked what should now be done . Pharaoh's astrologers had also seen that a redeemer would be born to the Jews and would be destroyed by water . They had seen wrong , for Moshe would not be one of the boys thrown into the Nile . The water they saw incorrectly , was Moshe's punishment for his actions much later on at Massah U' Meriva when he struck the Rock over an issue of Water . Bilaam spoke up and said that it is no use burning them for we survive fire as Avraham did in the Furnace of Ur Kasdim . It is no use fighting us with the sword , for we are very strong and two of our people Simeon and Levi once had decimated a whole city on their own , the city of Shechem ) so he advised that seeing as our G-D Said He Won't Send another Mabul , we should as boys , be thrown in the River , for he believed , HaShem Wouldn't Punish us or the World again , by another Flood . How wrong Bilaam was for HaShem Had Only Said there won't be another World Flood , but HaShem Could Still Send minor floods or punish in many other ways . Yisro advised that seeing as we Jews helped the country , we should be left alone . Pharaoh was about to order him killed , so Yisro left and took with him the Staff that was once Yosef's that had been passed down from Adam , Shais , Noach , Avraham , Yitzchak , Yaakov and then down to Yosef . Iyov , seeing what might happen if he defends the Jews , decided to remain silent and so ended up ( as we see in the Book of Iyov Job ) being tested by HaShem . So Pharaoh took the advice of Bilaam and had the male Jewish children thrown into the Nile , but ordered that every female Jewish child be kept alive , for the Egyptian's ugly nefarious purposes .
While the Egyptians were trying to destroy the Jews , HaShem Was Already Working on our Redemption and our redeemer Moshe . From the Tribe of Levi , the grandson of Levi , Amram , was married to Yocheved and they already had two children Aharon and Miriam , but when Amram , who was the head of the Jewish Sanhedrin type - court at the time , saw what the Egyptians were doing to the Jewish boys , he thought it was no use for our people to have children who would Chas Ve Shalom be killed , so he divorced his wife and ordered others to do likewise . Yocheved at this time , was already three months pregnant with Moshe . Miriam approached him and told him that his decree is worse than the Egyptians , for they wanted to stop only the male Jewish children from being born , but his decree , would halt even the female children from being born and he acknowledged her wisdom and remarried his wife and ordered the other husbands to do likewise . The Egyptians would bring their babies to cry near ours in Goshen and get them to cry so it would make our babies cry and they could then find out where we might be hiding our little children so they could kill them . Egyptians would also move into houses next door us and spy on us pretending to be one of us . HaShem Protected us . Pharaoh's astrologers told Pharaoh that the redeemer was still not destroyed and may have a touch of Egyptian connection ( for Moshe was brought up among Egyptians , and his adoptive Mother , though a Ger Tzaddekes , was born Egyptian ) and so , Pharaoh then decreed that also Egyptian boys were also to be cast into the Nile . How wise Is HaShem , to have confused the Egyptian advisors .
Yocheved was able to hide the birth of Moshe , for as I mentioned earlier , she was already three months pregnant with him when she and Amram remarried and so he was born earlier than the Egyptians would have expected . When he was born , he was named Yekusiel , but he had throughout his life , other names given to him, like Ben Levi , Avigdor , Avi Socho , Avi Zanoach , Tuvia , Moshe and others , like Chavair , Ben Nesanel and Shemaiya ( Midrash Says - Shemos - Rabbi Weissman ) , ten names in all . Thus Moshe in actual fact had ten names throughout his life he was known as . When he was born , he was born with a light on his face and he was born circumcised and so , Amram his Father , praised his little daughter Miriam for her wisdom and saving of this redeemer , for they saw on Moshe's face and by the fact of him being born circumcised , that this child would be a Tzaddik and the Redeemer .
Yocheved , being very wise , knew of their ploys and knew that the advisors of Pharaoh had told him that the redeemer would be destroyed by water and so she ensured that little Moshe would be put onto water so it would look to the Egyptians that he had been cast into the Nile . This was true , for as soon as little Moshe's basket touched the Nile , Pharaoh's astrologers told Pharaoh that the Jewish redeemer has been destroyed , Chas Ve Shalom , and Pharaoh stopped the edict of casting children into the Nile . The very fact that she could not hide him anymore , was due to the fact that it might be counted now that he would have had the nine months to be born and so , she took a wicker basket and covered it with clay and pitch , put Moshe in it and set it afloat on the Nile , with Miriam set to watch over it .
It was at that time that Basya , Pharaoh's daughter , who was coming down to the Nile to do her Tevilah , for she was converting to Judaism , that she heard a little baby cry . In actual fact , little Moshe was very quiet , but HaShem Sent the Malach Angel Gavriel , to tap little Moshe on the nose , to make sure he would cry out and be heard and saved . Basya knew that this was a Hebrew boy and called him Moshe for he was drawn out of the water ( and in honor of this special lady that reared him , HaShem Kept this name Moshe for this ever so holy child ) and it was then that Miriam appeared and offered her own Mother Yocheved to rear the child and so little Moshe was brought up by his real Mother in his very early years , and he knew full well of his roots and who he was that he was a Jew . Basya told Yocheved to bring Moshe back when ed had grown . Thus HaShem Works His Miracles in Ways Beyond our own small intelligence , for in the midst of our enemy , did HaShem Secure His Choice of a redeemer .
Moshe thus grew up in the court of Pharaoh and Pharaoh himself took a great liking to this special child . One day while Moshe was playing on Pharaoh's lap at the table , Moshe took Pharaoh's crown off his head and put it on his own head and went and sat on Pharaoh's throne . This greatly troubled Pharaoh and he again called his advisors Bilaam , Yisro and Iyov , to ask what should be done with the child . Bilaam said to kill the boy , Yisro said to save the boy and Iyov again , kept silent and Bilaam advised that the boy be tested with a hot piece of coal or precious jewel , to test if the boy's previous action , was one of knowing . Moshe was about to put his hand toward the precious jewel , when HaShem Sent the Malach Angel Gavriel , to push his hand toward the coal , so as to save his life , and so , Moshe put the hot coal into his mouth and burnt his mouth and thus had a speech impediment .
Moshe , knew he was a Jew and so , would go out with his brethren into the brick-pits . He could have continued as a prince , but he chose to suffer with his people . One day he went out and saw an Egyptian task master mercilessly beating a fellow Jew , Dasan . What had happened is that the Egyptian task-master had waited for Dasan to leave and go to work , and returned to Dasan's home and proceeded to enter the house and force himself upon Dasan's wife Shelomis . She was known as Shelomis for she would often go out and flirt with males , even Egyptian , and on this day , Dasan had returned home to find his wife had been abused . Dasan had taken issue with the Egyptian and the Egyptian had beaten him mercilessly . It was then that Moshe arrived and as Torah says " Looked this way and that and saw no man " which actually meant that Moshe was able to look forward and backward into this man's generations and saw that none of them would be a good person worthy of being called a man and so , Moshe pronounced the " Shem Ha Meforash " - " HaShem's 72 Letter Hidden Name , and so the Egyptian was struck dead . The following day , Moshe again came across this same Dasan , who was arguing with his wife's brother Aviram , for Dasan wanted to divorce his wife but Aviram objected and so, Moshe again intervened . This time he was shouted down asked who had appointed him as a dignitary , ruler and judge over them , which was so prophetic , as this is exactly what Moshe became . It also came up in their words , of what he had done to the Egyptian the day before . Moshe realized how the matter was now known and sadly , Dasan and Aviram went and told Pharaoh on him , so Pharaoh , after investigating the matter , sought his life . The Midrash tells us how Moshe was caught and brought for execution and how Miraculously With HaShem's Help , the blade struck his neck , bounced back and killed the executioner while Moshe escaped unharmed . Thank You HaShem . Moshe fled from Egypt .
Moshe didn't go straight to Midian , but stopped first with the Cushites and joined forces with King Kokenus . The King had left his palace to attend to certain matters with his soldiers against the Kedemites , with whom the Cushites were at war . In the meantime , Bilaam had also made his way with his two sons Yunus and Yumbrus , to the same place and , had evilly turned the people against their king and they had set up a moat around the city , while the king was away , and put into the water , reptiles and small dangerous snakes to prevent the king's return . It was at this time that Moshe arrived on the scene . He advised the king to collect birds and send the birds toward the moat , where they ate the little snakes and so , the king regained entry into his kingdom . Moshe was given rulership after this king died and the king's wife wanted to marry Moshe , but he refused and wanted nothing to do with their idol worshiping ways . The queen , wanted an idol worshiper on the throne , and by now , her son Mumcham had grown and he was put as king and Moshe was politely sent off with little thanks . Moshe had left Egypt at the age of twenty seven and now it was forty years later , when he finally arrived at the well in Midyan - Midian , making him sixty seven when he got there .
Moshe came and saved Yisro's unmarried daughters from Amelekites who had tried to push them aside at the well . Again , we have a holy ancestor , meeting his intended at a well , like Eliezer met Rivka , Yitzchak's intended and Yaakov had met Rachel , his intended , at a well . Moshe was first brought to Reuel , who was actually a Father figure of Yisro's daughters , but actually Yisro's Father and then Moshe was brought before Yisro . When Yisro saw who it was and realized that this is a fugitive from Egypt , Yisro put him in a ward like a cell for ten years , and it was Tzipporah who brought him food . After ten years , where Moshe was now seventy seven , Yisro let him out and so he married Tzipporah , whose holy actions were light and holy like a Tzippor Bird and Moshe watched over Yisro's sheep . Yisro had these unmarried daughters as he had tried many religions and found them all false , as he did with the Midianite religion and so people did not want to marry his daughters . One day while Moshe was walking in Yisro's field , he saw a staff sticking out of the ground . He pulled it and it came out , in his hand . This holy staff , had engraved on it , the Name of HaShem and the Hebrew acronym of the Ten Plagues ( DTZ"CH AD"SH B'ACH"V ) HaShem Would Send Upon Egypt , Engraved long long before this event ever took place , back in Adam Ha Rishon's time ) . He went to Yisro and asked him about this staff and Yisro had told him it was the staff belonging to Yosef that he had taken out of the court of Egypt and that no one had ever been able to pull it out again and that it was told then that only the chosen redeemer of G-D , would be able to pull it out and so did this true story come down in history and became the story that even touched the legend of king arthur and the sword excalibur . So did Moshe have sons with Tzipporah , Gershom and Eliezer . Yisro had allowed Moshe to marry his daughter as long as Moshe doesn't return to Egypt .
One day while Moshe was pasturing and watching Yisro's sheep , one lamb ran astray and Moshe , being a man who would not lose a single one , for all were important to this very caring man and so , Moshe left the flock to go and find the lost one . He found it and carried it all the way back on his shoulders , for he said to it , ' come my little one , you need not be alone , for you are with other sheep and even one will be missed . ' HaShem Watched this beautiful caring event and said to himself , " Such a man that will even go so far as to see that not a single lamb ( Jew ) is lost , is certainly the one who should redeem my people .
It was at this time , that a new Pharoah was now over Egypt , Seti's son Raamses II , and this man proclaimed himself deified and told people he had created the Nile . Because of this , HaShem Gave him leprosy and he would go down to the Nile early in the morning to bathe but it wasn't helping , so he had little Jewish children killed and bathed in their blood . It was at this very time , when the outcry of these children went up to HaShem , for now , the Egyptians had gone too far . It was also at this time that Moshe was pasturing the sheep , when he had gone to save this one little lamb and Moshe , being the holy man he was , was pulled to Har Sinai ( Moshe and this particular unimposing mountain were drawn to each other for both were humble ) , for he found himself at its foot . Moshe was called upon to notice that a bush on the mountain was aflame and when he stepped a step closer , noticed , that it was not devoured . HaShem Knew that Moshe would be attracted by this site , for HaShem Had Appeared to Moshe when he was a little boy and even then at a young age , Moshe had asked HaShem how come his people are left in bondage and Moshe had compared us to the beautiful foliage that is being burnt with the fury of slavery . So this bush that was aflame but not being burnt , was a reminder to Moshe , that though the nations hurt us and want to destroy us and burn us , we will be saved by HaShem and live eternally as a nation . At first HaShem Instructed the Malach Angel to call to Moshe in his Father Amram's Voice , so as not to scare Moshe , and so Moshe knew , that Amram must have by now passed away and was close to HaShem . HaShem Asked Moshe to remove his shoes for he was standing on holy ground .
HaShem Introduced Himself Being G-D of our Fore-Fathers and Moshe hid his face in humility . HaShem Told Moshe How He Had Seen our Affliction in Mitzrayim , and How HaShem Would Take us out and bring us to HaShem's and our Holy Land and Told Moshe that He Would Dispatch Moshe to Pharaoh And That HaShem Would Take us Out of Egypt , but with trials and Ten Plagues at Pharaoh and Egypt . Moshe replied humbly that he was unworthy . HaShem Assured Moshe that He Would Be With Moshe . Moshe asked what is HaShem Name , and HaShem Responded that he should say " E'h'yeh Asher E'h'yeh " - " I Shall Be As I Shall Be " Sent Moshe . Moshe caught on that the fact that two " Shall Be's " were mentioned , showed that HaShem Was Actually Saying to Moshe that " I Shall Be in this exile , as I shall be in future exiles , " so Moshe realized this wouldn't be a final redemption for all time and that we would face other future exiles and Moshe mentioned this to HaShem , Who Praised Moshe for his compassion and thus Told Moshe to just mention the freeing from this exile , thus saying as His Name " I Shall Be Sent me to you . "
HaShem Told Moshe How HaShem Would Strike Egypt With All HaShem's Wonders and how they would eventually send us out with great wealth , for all the years of slavery .
Moshe carried on humbly trying to persuade HaShem that he is not worthy , and wrongly showed disbelief in the people not believing in him , so HaShem Showed him the miracle of the staff turning into a snake and the action of putting his hand into his chest and it becoming leprous , not just as a sign for Egypt , but as a show that one must not Loshon or slander others or talk badly of others , like the snake did in Gan Eiden and that punishment for slander is Leprosy Tzaraas . The sign to bring the people to this very mountain and to pour water on the ground in Egypt and it becomes blood was also mentioned to Moshe .
Moshe continued to humbly try to Have HaShem Choose another , and mentioned his speech impediment and HaShem Reminded him that it is HaShem Who Makes speech , hearing and sight . Moshe continued to humbly try to step back and said , " Please my L-RD , send through whomever You will send . " Moshe was saying that there must be others more worthy .
HaShem Was Angry And Mentioned Aharon , Moshe's brother , who would go with him and assist Moshe , for Aharon , was already on the way to meet Moshe . Because of Moshe's continued disagreeing to be sent , Moshe lost the position of Kohein Gadol High Priest , that was now given to Aharon . HaShem spoke to Moshe on Har Sinai , while Moshe had continued to humbly try to step back from it , for a period of seven days , and after the seven days , Moshe finally had to agree . And so , Moshe returned to Yisro Yeter and asked Yisro to annul Moshe's words to him that he had previously said that he would not return to Egypt , that the time had come for HaShem To Redeem the Jews and that should he not be there with his people to take out our children from the land of Egypt and so Yisro told him to " Go to peace . "
Still Moshe delayed and HaShem Again Appeared to Moshe in Midyan Midian and Told him to return to Egypt for the people that were seeking his life had died .
So Moshe took his wife and sons and put them on the donkey and he returned to Egypt and HaShem Told him that he was to tell Pharaoh that Israel Is HaShem's Firstborn Son and HaShem Told Moshe of the Wonders that HaShem Would Perform in Egypt
On the way back , HaShem Encountered Moshe , for Moshe had not yet circumcised his son Gershom and Tzipporah , holy as she was , realized why , and circumcised her son . Tzipporah was forced to remain with her children , for the child had to heal , which is why Moshe had not rushed to circumcise him , himself , as he knew he had to travel . HaShem Appeared To Aharon And Told him to go and meet his brother Moshe . And so they met and Moshe told him of all the signs and words that were told to him that he could tell his brother . Moshe and Aharon went and gathered the elders and told them the words that the redeemer would tell , remembered through the generations by Serach bas Asher , which were corroborated " Pakad - Pakod Pakadti " and so the elders believed in Moshe and Aharon . HaShem Had Instructed Moshe to at first tell Pharaoh that the Jews would go for three days , not at first telling the Egyptians that it would be permanent , because , the previous Pharaoh , had also not told the Jews at first when they were called to first come for the work project , what the real story was . So Moshe and Aharon went to Pharaoh and at first ( and there were lions and other wild animals on the way among the decimated Jewish bodies lying beaten and hurt ) , the elders went with , but one by one , left in fear and so they were made to stand lower , at a later time when we all stood at Har Sinai .
When Moshe and Aharon came before Pharaoh , they asked Pharaoh to send out the Jewish people to serve G-D in the Wilderness . Pharaoh was in the middle of a festival , where other dignitaries from other countries also were visiting and bringing gifts and Pharaoh asked these two men , standing tall and filled with light , from who they come . They said they come from G-D Most High and their gift is a message to tell Pharaoh from G-D The Most High And Only G-D , ' To Let My People Go . ' Pharaoh responded that he knew not this G-D , and asked his advisors to bring him the book of all the deities names , and could not find HaShem's Name in it . Moshe and Aharon told Pharaoh that HaShem Is Beyond a book and denounces the false and fake deities of the nations in Pharaoh's book , for HaShem Is The True G-D . Pharaoh was no fool and knew of G-D , but not by the name " Ad-nai , " for his ancestors had known of "El Sh-dai , " and so said that he would not release the people for the three day journey in the wilderness . Pharaoh reprimanded Moshe and Aharon for disturbing the people from their work and Pharaoh ordered that now the brick tally of our people was to be the same but we would no longer be given straw , which was actually kept right near Pharaoh's Palace . Pharaoh ordered that the tally of bricks must remain the same and even ordered that the Levites , who had not worked before , must go to work too . The foremen of our people did not want to put our people in trouble and so took the brunt of the blame themselves and they were aggressively beaten and so , HaShem Rewarded them to become leaders of our people in the Wilderness , when we left Egypt . The Jewish foremen , after leaving Pharaoh's presence , after hearing that the tally is to be the same without being given straw to make the bricks and that we were to go looking for straw , encountered Moshe and Aharon and blamed them . HaShem Had Actually Asked Moshe to leave Egypt and return to Midian , as a test to us , that we would have faith in HaShem . Moshe returned to HaShem and blamed HaShem for doing this to the people and questioned HaShem , why HaShem Had Sent him and not another . Moshe blamed HaShem for not rescuing the people and this counted against Moshe in the end . HaShem Said to Moshe , " Now you will see what I Will do to Pharaoh , For Through A Strong Hand Will I Send them out , and with a strong hand will he drive them from his land . " So ends the Parsha .
This Parsha is called " Shemos " - " Names , " for it is at this very time in our history , that we make a name for ourselves , Acknowledged and Done at this time , By HaShem , for it is at this time that we , become a people unto HaShem When we go to Har Sinai , and we become HaShem's People . It is then , that we did what no other nation , who was offered HaShem's Torah did , we take G-D and His Laws . Thus , we made a name for ourselves , a name connected with HaShem Forever . And how did we make this " Shem-ot " - " Name ? " By " Shema Ot " - " Listening to and Hearing " HaShem And His Commandments . It is then and only then that we are part of this " Shemos " - " Name , " for when people stray from Judaism , Chas Ve Shalom , and leave the Faith and marry out of the Faith , Chas Ve Shalom , that Judaism is lost to that family line and " The Name of that Jewish family line that was Jewish for centuries , is gone as a Jew . So we , as a people , made our " Shemos " - " Name , " by becoming a people unto HaShem , and all that comes with that beautiful action of love . Only by following The Holy Torah , that we , and no other nation chose to accept , do we make a Jewish Name for ourselves . The other nations were offered The Torah first , but they refused , all asking what was in it and finding something or some Law or Laws , they refused to keep . We on the other hand believed in HaShem in total faith and said " Na' aseh Ve Nishma " - " We will do ( first ) and then we will hear ( why ) . " We didn't need to know what was in it first before we accepted it . We straight away trusted HaShem and Accepted it with love . Thus we made a " Shemos " - " Name " for ourselves , and each and every Jew keeps this " Name " as long as we keep The Very Holy Torah we all agreed Spiritually to accept and never let go of at Har Sinai . All Jews , those living at the time , those about to be born and those still to come , even many generations later , as well as righteous Gairim to come , all accepted it , so you , me and all of us were there accepting HaShem's Torah . Let us never break our word to HaShem and Bless and Thank HaShem Always for Making us a Holy Jew and forever show our gratitude , by following HaShem and His Holy Torah Always , letting HaShem Know that we thank Him for making us a Jew , and never straying from His Holy Torah , All His Commandments and His Love . Thank you HaShem Always for Giving me the opportunity to follow You As You Want to be followed , for following Your Commandments and Your Holy Torah and for Giving me the life opportunity to come closer to you every day . Thank You HaShem Ha Kadosh Baruch Hu - The Holy One Blessed Be He .
I wish HaShem With Forever Love , A Most Beautiful And Special Shabbos Kodesh With Forever Love , and to all my fellow Jews and to all of Creation , a Beautiful and Special Shabbos Kodesh with Love .

Parashas Vayechi

Our Parsha this Shabbos is Parashas Vayechi , where we read of the passing of our dear beloved Fore-Father Yaakov Israel and his sons receiving their Blessings and his son Yosef , taking care of Yaakov's arrangements and basically leading the generation after Yaakov and so , the Haftorah for this portion in 1 Kings 2:1-12 , also refers to the passing of Dovid Ha Melech , and his son Shlomo after him . The touch of Yaakov's Neshoma was in Dovid Ha Melech , as was a touch of Yosef's humble soul , also in Shlomo Ha Melech .
Yaakov Israel knew his time was coming and he was the first to get ill before passing and so , he called for his son Yosef , knowing that Yosef would be in a position to get Pharaoh to allow Yaakov to be taken back to Canaan , out of Egypt , so that he could be buried with our Fore-Fathers and Fore-Mothers and so , he had Yosef assure him that Yosef would have him buried in Canaan in the Cave of Machpelah , near Mamre in Chevron . Yosef assured him that he would . Yosef did not spend that much time with his Father , for he was trying to avoid telling on his brothers for what they had done to sell him , but Yosef's sons did spend time with their Grand-Father , and it was them who informed Yosef that their Father was ill , so he took his two sons Manasseh and Ephraim at the advice of his wife Osnas and came to his Father .
Yaakov assures Yosef that Yosef's sons will share in the inheritance in Eretz Yisroel , just like the other sons of Yaakov . Yosef questioned his Father why his Mother Rachel was not buried in the Cave of Machpelah like the other Fore-Mothers , but on the side of the road to Ephrath Beis Lechem . Yaakov told Yosef that HaShem would one day in the future take our people into exile in Bavel , due to Avodah Zorah idol worship of some of the people , and they would travel past that place where Rachel was buried and Rachel would thus be able to pray for us , her children , begging HaShem not to be angry that some of us strayed , for nor was she angry that she gave her place to her sister in marriage to Yaakov , So HaShem Too , Should Be Understanding And Forgive us And Bring us out of exile , and no doubt , because Rachel had been in such a position of giving her beloved Yaakov to her sister Leah , so could Rachel be the only one to ask of HaShem the same kind of request to be understanding , when our attention was diverted from HaShem and so , HaShem Accepted Rachel's prayers for her children - us . Yaakov then wanted to bless Yosef's children , so Yosef put his older son to Yaakov's right and the younger one , to Yosef's left , but Yosef saw that his Father Yaakov placed his right hand ( the hand that would usually go on the first-born's head ) , on the younger one's head and Yosef wanted to correct him , but his Father Yaakov assured Yosef that he knew what he was doing , for Yaakov said that the younger one would become greater than the older one , and this was in reference to Joshua Yehoshuah , who would in the future come from the younger one Ephraim's line , generations later .
And so Yaakov blessed Yosef's sons with the same words we say to our children every Erev Shabbos , " May G-D Make you like Ephraim and like Manasseh , " thus putting Ephraim before Manasseh . This Blessing signified , that may our people be like Ephraim and Manasseh , who lived among other nations in exile , and yet still kept true to Holy Religious Judaism and never strayed . So may our children always be so .
Israel Yaakov informs Yosef he is about to pass on and that HaShem Will after the time in Mitzrayim , bring us back to Canaan and that Israel Yaakov gave Yosef an extra portion more than the other brothers , the place Shechem ( showing that deep down , Yaakov knew what the brothers had done to Yosef , for it was where Yosef was sold by his brothers ) that Yaakov had taken with his sword and his bow , when , at the time of the incident after Simeon and Levi had killed all the Shechemite men , where their sister had been forcefully taken , the other nations came up in defense of the people of Shechem , and Yaakov had fought a war with them and with HaShem's Help , had won , and so , gave this area to Yosef .
Then Yaakov called for his sons to give them his final Blessings from HaShem and he was just about to reveal to them the time of the End of Days , for the Shechinah was resting above him , but HaShem Did Not Want this time to be known and so , as Yaakov was about to reveal this , the Shechinah lifted and so , Yaakov was not able to complete his words of when that time will be . We also note that Yaakov wanted to tell us of the End of Days , starting with the words " Ha'asfu " - " Assemble yourselves , " which shows that one of the ways to bring Moshiach and usher in the End of Days , is for our Jewish people to " Assemble , " in other words come together as one people under HaShem in obedience to all His Laws , and so , this " Coming together " and getting rid of old strife , keeping HaShem's Commandments , is one of the ways to bring Moshiach .
Then Yaakov Israel Blesses the tribes . Reuvein , was reminded of his Aveirah , and how the Shechinah was desecrated , That Rested on that particular couch that only the Shechinah of HaShem Rested on and how Reuvein had moved that couch out of Bilhah's tent and into his own Mother Leah's Tent . Yaakov gives Reuvein a Blessing in disguise , which is that Reuvein will and can go far as long as he learns patience and not to be impetuous . Yaakov then refers to Simeon and Levi's actions in how they handled the Shechemite issue and that Yaakov's soul will not enter into their actions of violence .Yaakov refers to them murdering a people , in reference to the Shechemites and maiming an ox , in reference to Shechem himself . This is also a hint to what these two brothers did to Yosef , who is referred to as a "strong boned ox " who keeps to HaShem's Commandments without wavering , even in exile , and so , this again shows that Yaakov knew without Yosef telling him , what these two specifically had done to Yosef , where Levi had been the one who said of young Yosef , " behold the dreamer comes , " and Simeon had been the one who threw him into the pit . So Yaakov ensured that these two sons would be kept apart from each other , not only in their travels as Tribes when we all came back from Egyptian slavery , but also in Israel , when the time came for the Land to be divided , for when these two Tribes get together ,they are ever so strong , as they were when these two , as small boys , wiped out the Shechemites single-handed .
Yehudah , is Blessed and noted as the leader of the Tribes as the Tribe of kingship , like a lion , and from this tribe , will Mashiach come - noted as " Shiloh . " Wine and Milk referred to here refers to Mashiach and the Torah of Milk and Honey . When our children first learn Torah , we dab a little honey on their tongue to remind them that the Torah always be sweet on our tongues .
Zevulun will be given those places on seashores , to bring trade and wealth to his brothers and he and his brother Yissaschar , mentioned next , work together hand in hand , where Zevulun toils while Yissaschar studies Torah and so , will each get the Kavod of both as if they are one , yet both will and are to study Torah . The people of Yissaschar bend themselves humbly to HaShem's Torah and Will .
Yaakov Israel Blesses Dan next , and here , Yaakov sees in prophecy , a man who , from this Tribe , will avenge his people against the Philistines , and this man , Yaakov sees , is Samson Shimshon the Judge of Israel , who will be like a single serpent on the way , in other words one singe man , who will attack at the very enemy's foundation , all by himself , a viper by the path , as Shimshon was , when he hid and awaited the enemy to walk past and the reference to the horse's heels and rider , refers to how Shimshon killed so many by himself , just with the jawbone of a ass / donkey . Yaakov ends his blessing to this Tribe with words that show how salvation is still awaited from HaShem , for Yaakov fore-saw how this Shimshon , regaining his power from HaShem , once his Nazarite hair grew again , in his death , will bring down 3000 Pelishtim , in their colosseum of their dagan deity , when he pushes over the supporting pillars , this sadly would be Shimshon's end too and so , would Israel still await the Final Redemption .
Gad , Yaakov Blessed from HaShem , with powerful fighting men , who would overcome the enemy , for Gad's portion of territory , would bring them into constant contact with Ammonite raiders . Asher , was Blessed with " kindly delicacies , " in connection with the abundance of olive oil in his region in Eretz Yisroel as well as spiritually beautiful women who would marry Kohanim .
Naphtali is referred to as a " hind let loose who delivers beautiful sayings , " and this refers to the incident that was to take place when Yaakov had already passed away and was being buried in the Cave , and Eisav came along and claimed the site for himself and Naphtali , fleet of foot , ran quickly back to Egypt , to get the title that it belonged to Yaakov and his side of the family .
Next , is Yosef Blessed , and Israel Yaakov , makes reference to Yosef's inauguration as he was led through the city in Egypt . Yaakov also makes mention of arrow-tongued men hating him , a reference to Yosef's brothers and also to the men of Egypt at the time Zulaicha and her friends made false accusations against him and the husbands joined in . Yaakov refers to Yosef's " bow being firmly emplaced and his arms gilded from the hands of the Mighty power of Yaakov , " and this refers to the constant taunts of Potiphera's wife and how at the last moment of that last attempt of Zulaicha to entice Yosef , just before Yosef got accused , how Yosef held himself in check and did not fall and sin and how , Yosef saw an image of the mighty Yaakov his Father , that kept him at that moment from doing anything wrong . So would Yosef receive abundant Blessings .
Yaakov then Blessed Binyamin , as a " predatory wolf , " of how " in the morning devouring prey and in the evening , distributing spoils . " Here Yaakov prophesies reference to King Shaul , a Benjaminite , who defeated Moav , Edom and Philistia , and also it is a reference to the happening of the Concubine of Gibeah in the book of Judges 19 and 20 ( Radak ) and of course to the coming of Mordechai and Esther , from the Tribe of Binyamin who were HaShem's Servants against haman the amelekite and both rose there in Persia , to high state .
Yaakov Blessed the Twelve Tribes and the very fact that they were mentioned as Twelve Tribes again , refers to their holiness . Yaakov then again instructs them to make sure he is buried back in Canaan in the Cave of Machpelah and so , sadly , our beloved Yaakov passed away .
Yosef , weeping had his Father embalmed , which our Rabbis believe was incorrect, for trust should have been there that HaShem Would Keep Yaakov as he was . Even Egypt bewailed his passing , where the passing of such a Holy Tzaddik , leaves in its place an emptiness and lack of Blessing , in its place , in that specific place , so was Yaakov fearing that Pharaoh might not let Yaakov leave Egypt and be buried in Canaan ( for Pharaoh knew that Blessing From HaShem , had come with Yaakov's presence in Egypt ) , but Yosef assured Pharaoh that he had given his word to his Father to do this very thing and so , after Pharaoh first objected , and Yosef reminding him of how Yosef had kept his word never to reveal that Yosef knew one more language more than Pharaoh , so did Pharaoh consent to letting Yaakov return to Canaan . So Yosef and the brothers carried Yaakov all the way back , with even a following of Egyptians too . Yosef put his crown on the coffin as did other nations , whom , they passed on the way back , for Yaakov was known as a very holy man . So was Yaakov Israel buried in the cave of Machelah and as I mentioned earlier Eisav came at that moment and contested it . Chushim , Dan's deaf son saw the commotion Eisav was making at such a holy time and struck Eisav to the point of death and Yehudah , struck the final blow . Eisav's head rolled into the cave but his body remained outside , and was given to his family to bury on Mount Seir . So was their Mother Rivka's words fulfillled that she was bereft of both her sons on the same day ( Bereishis 27:45 ) . So was the last Fore-Father buried in the Cave of Machpelah , a great light was gone from the World .
Afer the passing of their holy Father Yaakov , Yosef's other brothers became afraid that now , Yosef would come down on them , for Yosef , dealing with the sadness of his Father's Passing and also not wanting to take the head place at a table with them over his other brothers , didn't invite them as before , and so they approached him making out that their Father had wanted him to forgive them . Yosef reassured them that he would still take care of them and would not hurt them and that he held no anger to them at all .
Pharaoh passed away , and Yosef stood in as ruler of Egypt for many years , and Yosef saw three generations through his sons . Before he was about to pass away , Yosef asked his brothers that they must bring his bones out of Egypt and bring him back to Canaan , when the Jews leave there after the time of slavery . He also told them that after the period of slavery in Egypt , HaShem Will Send a redeemer who will be known when he speaks the words , " Pakod Yifkod , " ( Bereishis 50:24 ) - " G-D Will surely remember you , " and so , Yosef passed away before his brothers at the age of One Hundred and Ten , ten years before he would have , due to his not stopping his Father being called servant , when the brothers were before him as viceroy . The last brother to pass away in Egypt was Levi .
Yosef was placed in a coffin and sunk to the bottom of the Nile , so that no one might take his bones out of Egypt , for the Egyptians believed his being there brought them blessing and blessings to the nile , though all Blessings Come From HaShem Alone .
So ends the Parsha and the First Book of The Torah Bereishis .
The Parsha is called " Vayechi " - " Lived " yet the Parsha is all about the passing of Yaakov Israel and at the end , of Yosef . This is because a true Tzaddik , who is so close to HaShem and has become so holy and spiritual , continues on to greater Life and holiness after their physical passing . So is the word " Vayechi " used . We had the same with the passing of Sarah . The passing of Yaakov , was only physical . The Neshoma continues closer to HaShem , growing ever closer to HaShem . Life is not what it seems . Life itself is only a pathway toward HaShem . When a person passes , only their physicality remains and the term ' passes ' becomes more apt , for that is exactly what is happening . The person passes from one way of being , to the next , whether that be as a person again , or as whatever HaShem Deems them to become , so that they can continue to spiritually grow . We see only a tiny minute picture of all things and so , does " True Life " actually continue in all its Brilliance toward HaShem . The very fact of living , is a step toward the time of Mashiach . We see this in the very first word of this Parsha " Vayechi , " which comes to 34 in Gematriah , and 3+4 = 7 , the Gematrical value of Moshiach . Thus , when we live according to HaShem and His Commandments and Ways , we continue to live , beyond the physical existence of what we see as holy beings coming ever closer to HaShem , and so , by following HaShem and His Commands and Torah , we thus work to bring in Moshiach and usher in The End Of Days .
Life is not about having value-less parties and a frivolous good time for the moment . True Life , is truly using this Physical World as a preparation to earn our place in the Eternal Home of Gan Eiden . So says Pirkei Avos that the World we are in , is the antechamber to prepare ourselves to enter the banquet hall , of the Eternal World To Come Olam Habah . That is True Living , not just for the here and now , but Truly for Eternity . For True Life is Life With HaShem . That is what we are all actually here for . To do otherwise , would not be ' living ' at all . Every moment of every day of every moment of every moment , is a Gift From HaShem , to Gain True " Vayechi " - " Living . " Yaakov and our Fore-Fathers knew this . Now it is time for us to know it too . This Physical World Existence , is your opportunity and mine , From HaShem , to Work toward Olam Habah The World To Come , and so , this very working toward an Eternal Blessed Destination with HaShem , is really and truly True Living . Let us all stop wasting our lives that HaShem Gives us , and from now on , " Vayechi , " - " Truly Live " for HaShem and so will we get " True Vayechi , " - " True Life Eternal , " in HaShem's Olam Habah Gan Eiden in Shamaim within the Beauty Of HaShem HaKadosh Baruch Hu , HaShem The Holy One Blessed Be He .
I wish HaShem With Eternal Love , a Very Beautiful And Sweet Shabbos Kodesh With Eternal Love and to all my fellow Jews and all of Creation , a Very Beautiful and Sweet Shabbos Kodesh with love .
