I dedicate this Torah Parsha Sedra writing to my beloved Abba a"h . May HaShem Bless my beloved Abba's a"h beautiful Neshoma With An Aliyah B'Gan Eiden And B'Shamayim . Our Parsha this week is Parashas Terumah and seeing as this is the first of the four special Shabboses before Pesach , This is also Shabbos Shekalim which comes , this particular Shabbos on Shabbos Rosh Chodesh , where it usually comes the Shabbos before Rosh Chodesh Adar , in order to remind us to give our half Shekel , to counteract the money that evil haman gave to Achashveirosh to annihilate us Jews and so we give this half Shekel just before Adar , which is the month in which Purim comes . Thank You HaShem For Always Watching Out For us . On this Shabbos Shekalim and Shabbos Rosh Chodesh , we read Parashas Terumah Shemos Exodus 25 : 1 - 27 : 19 and then we read Bamidbar Numbers 28 : 9 - 15 and then as the Maftir , for Parashas Shekalim , Shemos Exodus 30 : 11 - 16 and the Haftorah for this Sedra of Parashas Shekalim is in 2 Kings 11 : 17 - 12 : 17 for Sephardim and 2 Kings 12 : 1 - 17 for Ahkenazim and then for both , some add to the Haftorah for Rosh Chodesh from Yeshayahu Isaiah 66 : verse 1 and verse 23 . The Parsha starts with a " Va , " Showing That HaShem Gave These Instructions When HaShem Was With Moshe when Moshe had gone up to Har Sinai , for forty days and forty nights , which is how the previous Parsha of Mishpatim concluded . The Children of Israel felt very sad about leaving Har Sinai where they had spent close on a year there , as it was there that they had Experienced The Closeness Of Revelation With HaShem , and so did not want to leave the vicinity Of Har Sinai and this Closeness Feeling With HaShem That had been felt while being There and so our Rabbonim teach That this was One Of The Reasons That HaShem Instructed On the building of The Mishkan , so that we would make A Special Place , Within our Holy Camp , Where HaShem's Shechinah Would Dwell Among us And Go With us wherever we would go . The Construction of The Mishkan , With The Holy Ark and The Table and The Menorah and The Altar and all That HaShem Asked to be built , would be like our Part Of Shamayim - Heaven Traveling with us . HaShem Would Rest With us In The Holy Of Holies , Between The Keruvim Cherubim On The Holy Ark Cover , And So Would HaShem Be Among His People . The people would then know That HaShem Is With us Always . HaShem Had The Holy Ark travel forward , when we were to move away from Har Sinai , so that we would know That HaShem Was Moving Forward , and so for us To Remain Close To HaShem , we would need to move forward too . And so we did . HaShem Told Moshe to speak to the Children of Israel that each should take a " Terumah , " - " Portion , " From every man " whose heart motivates him , you shall take My Portion . " So this request was voluntary and thus ever much more special , for we could give out of love and not because we might have to do so . Such a Giving , is always more Giving and truly from the Heart , in which , HaShem , Within each one of us , Wants To Dwell . Though we gave in abundance , if one really looks closely at how much gold and other articles were actually needed , one realizes , that though we gave in abundance , HaShem Had To Have Miraculously Given To this project too ( Yalkut MeAm Loez ) , and so does HaShem's Holy Torah say " you shall take My Portion , " for a lot of the amount that went into the building construction here , Was Actually From HaShem Himself , For HaShem Miraculously Added To It . HaShem Instructs On the portions of materials that are to be taken for this and to make A Sanctuary For HaShem To Dwell Among us , Just As Moshe Was Shown On The Mountain . HaShem Instructed That The Ark be made of Acacia wood which was Shittim Wood , part of the wood that Yaakov carried with him when he went to Egypt , in his son Yosef's time . This wood was from an area that was called Shittim Waters , and at that time , it was known that these waters would if drunk , bring people to physically debase themselves and it was near these waters that the Moabites later on , managed to entice some of the people to idolatry , through physical enticements ( Yalkut Me Am Loez ) . So using this particular wood , would be a direct block and control against the Yetzer Horah , especially as it was being used for such A Holy purpose . The Ark was to be made 2.5 cubits in length and 1.5 cubits in width and 1.5 cubits in height . If we take both sides of the length and width and add them , it comes to 8 , the holy number after 7 , that takes us into the realm of Spiritual Holiness ( like the 50th day of the Omer being Shavuos , after counting seven weeks of seven ) and if we add the height , we get 9.5 and with the cover and the Cherubim on top , it goes into the ranges of 10 , like The Holy Ten Commandments And the Ten Pronouncements By HaShem In Creating Creation . If we just take the length of both sides , it comes to 5 , which is the same as the single number in Gematriah of HaShem's Name Elokim which is 1 + 30 + 5 + 10 + 40 = 86 and 8 + 6 = 14 and 1 + 4 = 5 and also Avraham's name , where the letters of Avraham's name come to 1 + 2 + 200 + 5 + 40 = 248 and 2 + 4 + 8 = 14 and 1 + 4 = 5 . The number 248 is also the number of bones in the human body and also the number of Positive Commandments In HaShem's Holy Torah , showing how The Holy Ark Also Deeply Represented HaShem's Holy Commandments and how we must put our bones , our physicality To HaShem's Commandments and 248 is 2 + 4 + 8 = 14 and 1 + 4 = 5 , thus the two side lengths of the Ark have very deep meanings . Each measurement has a deep reason . Everything That HaShem Does Has Very Deep Reasons . The two sides width , come to 3 , and if we take The Hebrew Word Where HaShem Is Telling Moshe " I Shall Be " EHeYeH , " The Gematriah Of This Word Comes to 21 , where 1 + 5 + 10 + 5 = 21 and 2 + 1 = 3 , the very two widths of The Ark Of The Covenant . The height of the Ark , was to be 1.5 cubits , where the numbers 1 + 5 = 6 , which is the last number of the Physicality , thus in Reaching High To HaShem , we need to reach beyond our physicalities . HaShem's Holy Ark was to be made with a form including three boxes basically within each other , with the outer and inner one being of pure gold and the middle one being of acacia wood according to Rashi ( Stone Chumash ) , showing us how we must be the same deep within us as we are outside , being honest and trustworthy and truthful . The Holy Ark represented the Crown of Torah and on it was to be put a Crown all around . Four rings were to be cast on it on each corner and the staves of acacia wood , covered with gold were to always be in the rings and never removed from it even when not carrying it , just as we are always to be Close To HaShem's Holy Torah and never remove ourselves from It . Into The Holy Ark , was to be placed The Testimonial Tablets . The Holy Ark Cover was to be made of pure gold and on top was to be hammered out , two K'ruvim - Cherubim ( Keruvim has the root Karov , which means Close , as in Close To HaShem ) , hammered out from both ends of the " Kaporet " - " Cover . " The Cherubim were to have their wings spread upward sheltering The Cover with their faces toward one another . The faces on these Cherubim , were to be of a boy and a girl , and when we kept HaShem's Commandments , their faces would smile and when we sadly did not , they would turn away from each other . Their wings would embrace , when we were especially obedient To HaShem . It was in the one cubit space Between the two Cherubim , Just As HaShem Is Surrounded By Angels Above , That HaShem Would Place His Shechinah To Rest And Where HaShem Would Hold His Meetings With Moshe . The Ark would sometimes travel 2000 cubits ahead of the Camp of Israel , so as to clear the way for our path to be safe in the Wilderness , where a giant snake and other things of danger , dwelt . The Ark was carried with the poles along It's widths and those who carried it always faced it , thus those in front , actually walked backwards , so as not to disrespect the Shechinah and Aron , just as we , in Shul , should walk backwards from the Aron Keidesh , till It is out of direct sight . Such a sight to the nations , Of HaShem's Mishkan and " Aron "- " Ark " in our midst , showed how we are HaShem's People , that Keep HaShem's Holy Torah And So Would HaShem Dwell Among us even now , if only we would all keep HaShem's Torah Laws . HaShem Instructed , Showing Moshe a picture of it , that a " Shulchan " - " Table " be built of Acacia Wood , 2 cubits its length , a cubit its width and 1.5 cubits its height . These numbers added up , had a special prophetic meaning in relation to the kings that came in Israel . All the numbers , including both sides of the length and width and the height , added up to 7.5 , where 7 + 5 = 12 and 1 + 2 = 3 , the same as the Gematriah 21 and ( 2 + 1 = 3 ) Of HaShem's Name EHeYeH , as explained earlier . It was to be covered with pure gold and a gold crown to be made all around It . This signified the Crown of Kingship . Also it was to have four rings and four carrying staves . The four rings , representing the four directions in Creation . Also its utensils were to be made . Always on the Shulchan was the Show-bread to be put Before HaShem Always . So must our Neshoma Always Be Close To HaShem And Constantly Reach Upwards To Higher And Holier Paths Toward HaShem . This Shulchan brought , From HaShem , Blessings Of Abundance Of Food To the World , for just as we leave the Hamotzi on the Table on Shabbos when we Bensch so as to allow us to be Blessed for more sustenance , so was The Lechem Panim - Show Bread , left from week to week , For HaShem To Bring Forth from what is already there That HaShem Created , for since Creation , HaShem Who Made all things At The Beginning Of Creation Till The End , At The Time Of Creation's Creation , HaShem Does Not Need To Ever Create out of nothing , For HaShem Made all things That Creation would need , Back Then . Every Erev Shabbos , was The Lechem Panim to be replaced and the bread for the previous week remained ever fresh . The Menorah was to be of pure gold all of a single piece . Moshe had to request Of HaShem To Show him how it was to be done with all its cups , knobs and blossoms all of a single hammered piece of gold And HaShem Showed Him one of fire , on the Mountain . Every part of The Menorah had its deeper reason and The Menorah stood as the contribution of the light we give to the World , when we keep HaShem's Commandments . All parts of the Menorah were to be from a single hammered out piece of gold , just as we as Jews , must come together as one nation , Under HaShem And HaShem's Mitzvos In Peace and thus bring Moshiach , Being One With HaShem Ha Kadosh Baruch Hu HaShem The Holy One Blessed Be He . The Seven Lamps were like the seven days in Creation , the seven days of the week and Kabbalistically , the seven worlds of Planets mentioned for special reasons , the sevens in the Sabbatical year , the sevens on the counting of the Omer and the sevens , in the Holy Number where the Seventh Day Is Holy Shabbos Kodesh . The Holy Torah Of HaShem Then Describes In Detail , The construction of The " Mishkan " - " Tabernacle , " with each measurement size , having a special meaning of Great and Holy Depth . Each plank fitted with its adjacent plank in a partnership of Peace , just like a husband and wife become one in peace and love . Each plank was ten cubits in length , like The Ten Pronouncements Of HaShem's Creation And The Ten Commandments . A " Paroches " - " Partition , " was to be made to separate the part that was to be " Kodesh Ha Kodashim " - " Holy of Holies , " within which , would The Holy Aron Ark Of The Testimonial Tablets Be Put and a " Masach " - " Screen " was to be made as an entrance of The Tent . HaShem Instructed That A " Mizbeach " - " Altar " be made of Acacia Wood , five cubits its length , five cubits its width square and three cubits its height . This would total all round 23 , and when taking into account that the physical height is 3 cubits in the physical world and thus the spiritual version above of this Mizbeach also has a 3 cubit height , we get a total , when the time will come for the Physical and Spiritual to become one , of 26 , which is the exact Gematrical value of HaShem's Tetragrammaton Name ' Yud Kei Vav Kei . " The width size and length size in cubits of a side , add up to ten , which again , represents The Ten Commandments And The Ten Pronouncements That HaShem Made In Creating Creation . There were to be four horns on the Mizbeach , just like the Four directions on Earth , and so was each part made for The Mishkan , to be put in a specific place and direction , depending on what that direction signified and what comes from that direction , Spiritually . It was all to be covered with copper and all its utensils were to be of copper . A Netting Meshwork was to be made , which Miraculously never burnt or melted . Staves too were to be made for it . The word " Copper " in Hebrew , is " Nechoshes , " which interestingly has within it the Hebrew word " Nachash " - " Snake " just like Samael that used the Snake to bring Sin into the World , and as we know , The Mizbayach , was also there for the Korbanos of Sins , thus it directly contradicted the actions of Sin and Samael , who works the Yetzer Horah that pulls us to Sin . The " Mizbeach " - " Altar " Represented The Crown of Kehunah Priesthood and so , as we have in Pirkei Avos , The Aron , Shulchan and Mizbeach , represented The Three Crowns in Judaism , being The Crown of Torah , The Crown of Priesthood and The Crown of Kingship . The " Mizbeach " had deeper meanings for if we take each letter of the word " Mizbeach " , being a Mem , Zayin , Beis and Ches , these letters can spell " Mechilah " - " Forgiveness ; " Zechus " - " Purity " ( Shimon Zilberman Dictionary ) ; " Brochas " - " Blessings " and " Chayim " - " Life , " all of which The " Mizbeach " could help us attain With HaShem's Making . HaShem Then Instructed On The " Chatzar " - " Courtyard " Of The Mishkan , with all its lace hangings , and being within it , was like being in Shamayim Heaven with its Blue Sky Curtains . The Lace Hangings were to be 100 Cubits , just like the One Hundred Brochas we are supposed to say every day , instituted by Dovid Hamelech , which he learned , in order to stay the plague that was ravishing in those days , which knowledge we get also by the Gematriah of these words referring to Blessing HaShem every day , as written in The Tanach in Micah 6 : 8 about " What HaShem Requires of us , where the word " Mah , " in this verse is like the word ' Me'ah ' - Hundred . ' The Parsha ends with The Instructions From HaShem , Of The makings of the " Chatzer " - " Courtyard . " So ends The Parsha . The Depth of This Holy Parsha , is so beyond our own knowing . Every Part That HaShem Instructed To Be Made , had it's deeper reason for being needed . Whether a large or small part , each , like us , have their part to play , In Creation . Each and every one of us , As A Part Of HaShem's Creation , Is An Equal And Important Part Of Creation , and thus needed To Complete Creation . Never must we think of ourselves as totally insignificant . The very fact That HaShem Created us , Means That the part we contribute to Creation , is necessary In The scheme Of Creation as a whole . No part is more important than any other part , and we must each very humbly , learn to work with others around us , To Help Complete Creation , As HaShem Intended . In This Sedra , HaShem Wants us each to contribute a " Terumah " - " Portion " To HaShem , for the good of us , ourselves . HaShem Gives us so much and we give HaShem so little in return . That which we give HaShem , all Belongs To HaShem . But what we can Give HaShem , is our Free Choice of Love And Service To HaShem , to do His Will . It should be our own hearts and thus free choice that should motivate this . Then it is truly from us . So Says HaShem , " Ve ' Asu Li Mikdash Ve Shachanti B'Tocham " - " They shall make a Sanctuary for Me so that I May Dwell Among them . " HaShem Asks us to Make A Sanctuary For Him , That He May Dwell Among us . So HaShem Asks us to make This For Him , Which Shows That HaShem So Desires To Dwell With us In Closeness And Love . HaShem Wants our closeness . It is not as the nations think , that an intermediary is needed to come close to HaShem . HaShem Wants So Deeply To Come Directly To us , Close To us all , for we are all HaShem's Children , all of Creation . To put an intermediary between HaShem and us , is exactly the opposite Of What HaShem Tells us Or Wants . HaShem Wants us each to approach Him directly and for each of us to have A Close Relationship With Him Directly . We are all , in this World and in Creation , HaShem's equal children and so , we can all Approach HaShem Directly , in Prayer Only To Him and at all times in Purity . This Is What HaShem Wants . HaShem Is Close To us all . We need only and directly be Close To Him and speak With HaShem Directly . None of us are on such a low level , that we need to go To HaShem through something else . HaShem Loves us And Wants our Closeness . As HaShem Says In Tehillim Psalms , " The L-RD Is Close To All Who Call upon Him , to all who call upon Him in Truth . " In This Sedra , When HaShem Asks us to make a Sanctuary for Him So He Can Dwell Among us , That Is Exactly What HaShem Wants . Looking deeper , When HaShem Asks us to make Him a Sanctuary , HaShem Is Also Asking us literally to make HaShem , our Sanctuary , To Be With Him all the time , letting ourselves from deep within the heart , Follow Him And So That HaShem Can Surround us And Keep us Forever Close To Him . Deep within these words , is the true secret To What HaShem Deeply Desires , for if we look closer at these words , it says also , " Ve' Asu Li Mikdash Ve Shachanti B' Tocham , " - " Make within me ( within you and within me and within us all ) a Sanctuary , So That I HaShem Can Dwell Among us ( His Creation ) , And Within us all . " So HaShem Wants us to make our very selves into a Sanctuary place , So That HaShem Can Dwell Within each and every one of us , within our very loving hearts . This is a Sanctuary , that would always be with us , for it is within us , And So , HaShem Dwelling In our own personal Sanctuary Within ourselves , Is Exactly What HaShem Deeply Wants , Which Is To Always Be With us All The Time , wherever we are and wherever we go , Within our hearts In Love . By doing this , we will be making , from within our very hearts , ourselves being as a " Terumah " - the " Portion " we can contribute To HaShem , for there is no better " Terumah " - " Portion " That HaShem Lovingly Would Want More , than that we can give Him , with our full heart and soul , as to give HaShem our very selves as that " Terumah " - " Portion , " every day , every moment and every loving instant of life That HaShem Gives us . For every instant of our Life , Given By HaShem , Should Be Given To HaShem Ha Kadosh Baruch Hu HaShem The Holy One Blessed Be He . The very word " Terumah , " - " Portion " in Gematriah comes to 400 + 200 + 6 + 40 + 5 = 651 and 6 + 5 + 1 = 12 and 1 + 2 = 3 , which is the number Gematrically of , as I mentioned earlier , HaShem's Name As The Word To Moshe " EHeYeH , " - " I Shall Be , " thus within the very word Terumah , Is HaShem's Name , For To Complete Creation And Bring It Back To Gan Eiden , To Be At One With HaShem , we are To Give HaShem , our very selves , In Obedience To HaShem And HaShem's Torah And Commandments , In Oneness With HaShem , As The " Terumah , " The " Portion " To HaShem Ha Kadosh Baruch Hu HaShem The Holy One Blessed Be He . I wish HaShem With So Much Deep And Forever Everlasting Love , A Very Loving Beautiful And Special Shabbos Kodesh And Chodesh Tov Adar With Forever Deepest Everlasting Love And HaShem's Closeness With His Creation , and to all of my fellow Jews and to all of Creation , a Most Special and Close With HaShem , Beautiful Shabbos Kodesh And Chodesh Tov Adar with Love .

The Shabbos Sedra is Parashas Mishpatim and the Haftorah for this Parsha is in Yirmeyahu Jeremiah 34 : 8 - 22 and 33 : 25 - 26 , where both the Torah Reading and the Haftorah refer to the bondsman and Laws of the bondsman . In the previous Parsha of Parashas Yisro , HaShem Came And Gave us The Ten Commandments and here in this Parsha we continue With HaShem's Holy Laws , between a person and their fellow . A Legal Moral Law - Abiding Society is the foundation of a Moral World , That Follows HaShem Only And HaShem's Holy Laws . The Parsha starts out with a " Ve " - " And , " to teach us that These Holy Laws And Ordinances in Mishpatim , Were Also Given By HaShem At Har Sinai , for the " Ve " - " And , " Links this Sedra with the Sedra before . The first Law Ordinance in this Sedra is to do with the Jewish bondsman and is mentioned first , Seeing As HaShem Just Freed us From Mitzrayim Egypt , where we were slaves and thus must we learn how to treat those who work for us . We must always remember That It Is Only HaShem Whom we Are To Serve and so , when the time comes for the bondsman to go free , they are to be freed liberally and the bondsman should go free and not want to remain a bondsman , for they should remember That It Is Only To HaShem That they should give their service . All human beings are equal and no person should be arrogant about herself or himself . HaShem Only Is Above us all . Should they not wish to go free , then a process is performed to them by bringing them to a door and piercing their ear ( the very ear that heard HaShem Free them from Mitzrayim Egypt , for they should want to be free from being under man and his ways and be only a servant Of HaShem ) with an awl and then this person must go free in the Yovel year ( Jubilee Fiftieth Year ) . Torah here goes into detail about how the Jewish bondsman is to work for six years and go free in the seventh year and what is to take place with the wife and children that he comes with and also how the Law differs if it is a woman who is a Canaanite , that the master gave to him . The Torah goes into the Laws of a man who gives his daughter as a bonds-woman and how she should be looked after and even to the point of looking after her as a wife if it comes to that , to make sure that she is cared for and looked after . HaShem's Torah Then Mentions The Laws That Judge murder , whether it be intentional or unintentional and Torah gives the different examples of different kinds of Aveiras warranting the death penalty , like one who kills intentionally with guile ( even to the point of if the one judged to die is holding onto the Altar - they are still to be given death as we saw with Shlomo Ha Melech when he sent Benayahu to slay Yoav , who was holding onto the horns of the Altar ) . Also a Judgement of death is given to the one who strikes his Father or Mother , causing a bruise , Chas Ve Shalom ; one who kidnaps a man and sells him and the kidnapped person was found in the kidnappers power ; one who curses his Father or Mother , Chas Ve Shalom , all these are sentenced to death by the Sanhedrin . Unintentional murderers are sent to an " Ir Miklat " - " City of Refuge , " and are to only be freed on the sad passing of the present Kohein Gadol . But one who strikes his fellow and does not die within a certain period - our Rabbonim talk of twenty four hours , but happens to die after that , the one who struck is absolved from the death of the one struck . Civil Laws also govern lost work time and medical healing costs to victims of those who were hurt by others and The Laws of a slave being struck and damages are mentioned . HaShem's Torah Makes Mention of the case of men who fight and collide with a pregnant woman and the damages to be paid . This Parsha then Mentions the famous Law of " An Eye for an Eye , " - " Aiyin Tachat Ayin , " where money restitution is the Law . " Eye for an Eye , " - " Ayin Tachas Ayin , " literally means " Eye under an Eye " which means that the Eye of the perpetrator is not taken but monetary compensation and not the actual eye is the restitution . The very fact that the Eye was not mentioned as an ' instead of ' but that which is " under " or in replacement of , shows that it was not an actual eye taken for an eye . Also , the Hebrew word " Tachas " comes to 808 in Gematriah , where 8 + 0 + 8 = 16 and 1 + 6 = 7 and the word " Kesef " - " Money , " in Gematriah also comes to 20 + 60 + 80 = 160 and 1 + 6 + 0 = 7 , which shows us that seeing that they are both 7 , the compensation for an eye for an eye or any other of the body parts mentioned , each with the word " Tachas , " means that it refers to Kesef money compensation . The Parsha then discusses injuries and damages that take place by an animal and also if a man steals an ox , or a sheep or goat and slaughters it to sell it , he must pay five cattle for the ox or four sheep if he stole a sheep . The reason that HaShem's Holy Torah Commands more oxen to pay back then sheep , Is Due To HaShem's Compassion , even for one who sadly does wrong , For HaShem Takes Into Consideration the embarrassment of the man who perpetrates the deed , for oxen are led away and it does not look as embarrassing as sheep that are usually carried on the shoulder when stolen and so are more embarrassing And Thus Does HaShem Take Into Account this embarrassment And HaShem Requests only four sheep restitution as oppose to five oxen restitution . HaShem's Holy Torah Then Teaches About The Laws Of Shomrim , safeguarding the article of another and who holds responsibility for a lost item . HaShem's Torah Then Mentions The Law of the case of one who seduces a virgin and what is to happen in Judgement of such a case And HaShem's Holy Torah Takes into account the respect for her honour . Torah comes down very strictly on those who are involved in sorcery for one who is a sorceress is not to be permitted to live . Also one who lies with an animal shall be put to death and one who brings offerings to idols also must be put to death . We are not to serve anything or anyone as a deity , Chas Ve Shalom . Only HaShem , Are we To Serve . The Laws in this Holy Parsha show That In Every Holy Law that we keep , we are Serving HaShem Only . Only HaShem Is G-D - Hosea 11:9 and Hosea 13:4 . We are not to taunt or oppress a stranger A Ger Tzeddek , A Righteous Torah Observing Convert . We are not to cause pain to a widow or orphan , For HaShem Holds them Dear To Him if they cry out To HaShem . Parashas Mishpatim Then Relates The Laws Of lending to a poor person and of how no interest is to be taken and if you take their garment as security , till sunset shall you return it to him . HaShem , we shall not revile and a leader of our people , we shall not curse . HaShem Puts righteous people in positions of respect for a reason and we are to respect HaShem's Wisdom . To disrespect a leader of our people is to disrespect HaShem's Choice and it is thus a disrespect of HaShem , Chas Ve Shalom . Fullness Offerings and Priestly Heave -Offerings shall not be delayed in giving . Holy are we Jews to be , a People of Holiness Shall we Be To HaShem . We shall not break The Law by eating the flesh of an animal torn in the field . HaShem's Torah Then Cautions us , As HaShem Teaches us , about the Judicial process , not to bring false reports or be a false witness , and not as a Judge to follow the majority for evil , not to yield to the majority to pervert the Law , not to glorify a destitute person in his grievance , but to be a fair and noble , upstanding and moral , to be a fair and honest true Judge - A Torah Judge and to have fair and true and moral Torah Keeping Judges . Within the word " Mishpatim , " is the word ' Shofet , ' which means ' Judge , ' so we are to be for ourselves , our own Judges , to ensure that we Keep Strictly To HaShem's Mishpatim Ordinances And Laws . HaShem Teaches us In This Parsha that we are to return an animal of a person that we hate , should we see this animal wandering and not to let a donkey crouch under its burden . We are to distance ourselves from a false word , not execute the righteous , or exonerate the wicked , and we are not , if as Judges , to accept a bribe , " For the bribe will blind those who see and corrupt words that are just . " Thus bribes , make to the person taking them , a complete false reality for them , one that is untrue and deceitful , one that suits them to see , that they themselves set up in order to wrongly fit in with the false bribe scenario that they have taken . We are To Be Honest And Truthful , As HaShem Is Honest And Truthful , And As One Of HaShem's Names Is ' Emet ' - ' Truth . ' HaShem Then Teaches About The Sabbatical Year and how we are to let our fields lie fallow in The Sabbatical Year Shemittah Year And How This Law Relates To The Holy Shabbos Of HaShem , For just as we put aside our weekly labours , For The Shabbos Holy Rest , thus putting Full Faith In HaShem To Look After us , so do we do with our fields in the Shemittah Year , letting our fields lie fallow and not working them , Thus Trusting HaShem To Look after us and our Parnossah . This is how we must live , Trusting HaShem To Take Care of us , in all the work we do for our Parnossah - Livelihood . The animals trust HaShem day after day to take care of their needs , not worrying about the next day and so should we Trust HaShem To take Care Of our needs day after day , Just As HaShem Took Care Of our needs in the Wilderness , providing us with the Mann Mannah day after day With HaShem's Love , On A Blanket Of Soft Dew . Let us all learn to Have Faith And Trust Emunah and Bitachon In HaShem HaKadosh Baruch Hu HaShem The Holy One Blessed Be He . HaShem Again Reiterates Not To Serve idols and not even to mention their names , be they of stone , or wood , or human of human birth and human flesh . We Are To Believe In And Follow HaShem Only . HaShem Tells Of The Three Pilgrim Festivals Of Pesach , Shavuos And Succos . HaShem Tells us Of Sending His Angel Before us , this being the Angel Metatron . Metatron , say our sages , has 72 wings Coinciding With The 72 Names Of HaShem , how his size fills the Universe and that He is sometimes described as The High Priest In The Heavenly Temple at times , how He teaches Torah to the Righteous that have passed , in the Yeshiva on high and that he led Avraham through Canaan , delivered Yitzchak from the knife at the Akeidah , rallied Joshuah and how he has twelve names like our Twelve Tribes of Israel , Being An Angel Close To HaShem ( Jewish Encyclopaedia - R Dennis ) . The Parsha Tells Of How HaShem Will Destroy our enemies And Of The Wonders That HaShem Will Perform For us In our Homeland Israel . HaShem Also Warns us That when we are in our Land of Israel , we are not to seal a covenant with those who inhabited the land or their false deities or beliefs and that they are not to dwell in the Land unless they accept A Torah Way Of Life and no idols or deities , Following HaShem Only And HaShem's Laws , for if we leave them or allow them to follow other ways that are not HaShem's Torah , they will lead us astray , Chas Ve Shalom , cause us to sin against HaShem , Chas Ve Shalom and trap us , Chas Ve Shalom . We are thus to remove them from Eretz Yisrael . Eretz Yisroel Is To Be A Torah Keeping Land , The Apple Of HaShem's Eye . HaShem Instructed Moshe ( also for Moshe's sake ) and also Aharon and the Seventy Elders of Israel to prostrate themselves and Moshe alone To Come and Approach HaShem and so to tell all the people , Of These Words Of HaShem And Of All Of HaShem's Ordinances . All the people responded with one voice ( And That Is What HaShem Also Wants - our Oneness and Togetherness which will bring on The End Of Days ) and they all responded that " All The Words That HaShem Has Spoken , we will do . " Moshe wrote All The Words Of HaShem and early in the morning , built an Altar at the Foot of Har Sinai and twelve pillars for the Twelve Tribes of Israel and offerings were made . This showed that we all , in every generation , Entered Into This Covenant With HaShem , That we Are To Keep Forever . HaShem Came Down On The Mountain and Israel saw under His Feet , The Likeness Of Sapphire Brickwork and it was here that Aharon's sons , Nadav and Avihu , were not humble enough , and gazed to look At A Part Of This Holy Site Of The Essence Of HaShem's Shechinah and so , at this moment , they were ordained to die , but they were not killed at this instance but later , so as not to mar The Specialness Of This Very Holy Event . HaShem Informed Moshe That he is to ascend Har Sinai and he Would Be Given The Stone Tablets And The Teachings And The Commandments . Joshuah remained faithfully and humbly waiting for him at the bottom of Har Sinai And HaShem Saw To It That an Omer of Mannah fell for Joshuah every day while he waited for his beloved Teacher Moshe . Moshe had Aharon and Chur , remain to oversee the people . Moshe ascended The Mountain and The Cloud Covered it , And The Glory Of HaShem Rested On Har Sinai . The Parsha ends by telling us that Moshe was on the Mountain for forty days and forty nights . Some of the Angels complained that Moshe was coming to take The Torah down to us and some wanted to burn him . HaShem Told Moshe to hold on to HaShem's Kisei HaKavod Throne Of Glory and to answer them on why he should be permitted to take The Holy Torah down to us . Moshe asked them , do they have bodies that must rest from work on Shabbos , houses that they must put Mezuzahs on , deal in civil matters that are between people and people that Angels do not , do they have children that can keep the Mitzvos , marry and go by The Laws of the Torah . The Angels had to answer no , and so Moshe proved that The Holy Torah Of HaShem Is For us Jews as human beings To Keep The Laws In The Torah , Given With Reference To Jews As Israel , who as human beings and not Angels , Must Keep These Holy Laws Of HaShem Within HaShem's Holy Torah . So was Moshe up there for forty days and forty nights . So ends The Parsha . The Mishpatim deal a lot with Civil Laws regulating the behaviour between people , which are very important , for a society that has no civil honour and order will break down as did the generation of the Mabul - the Flood . Civil Laws regulating human behaviour is vital to the continuation of our World for a society that cares little for how it acts towards other people , is sadly a society that works contrary to The Laws of Continuance Of HaShem's Beautiful Creation . HaShem Is Totally Selfless and so must we be , In Order To Be At One With HaShem Ha Kadosh Baruch Hu HaShem The Holy One Blessed Be He . The Parsha starts by saying , " Ve ' Eileh HaMishpatim Asher Tasim Lifneihem , " - " And These Are The Ordinances that you shall place before them . " This Is A Commandment For All Time . The Laws And Ordinances Of HaShem , Must Always Be And Were Always Placed By HaShem " before us " - " for all time . " The Laws Of HaShem Must Be our Pathway Through Life And That Life Must Always Be Headed Toward HaShem's Intended Wish For us all , The Destination Being Always And Forever Headed Closer To HaShem . It Must Be These Very Ordinances That HaShem Gave . Not reformed ones or changed ones . The word " We " referred to Moshe then , but it also refers to our Rabbonim and Leaders and also ourselves , for we too must be Torah Leaders of ourselves , keeping ourselves Ever on The Path Of And Toward Holiness , Toward HaShem . In every generation , our Leaders and Rabbis have a great responsibility to ensure that our Holy Torah From HaShem , As Given To Moshe , Is To Be Kept Exactly As HaShem Gave It Forever . It Is To Be Kept , Just As HaShem Gave It On Har Sinai . HaShem's Torah Is Eternal , Just As Must Be our Following Of And Obedience To It Be , In Every And All Generations , Never Changing , For It Is our Eternal Path To Shamayim Heaven . There Is To Be No reforming or changing Of HaShem's Eternal Forever Law , Chas Ve Shalom , And Thus No Changes or Additions or Subtractions , Chas Ve Shalom , Will Ever Be Made To This Eternal Law Of And From HaShem , For As HaShem Says So Many Times In His Holy Torah , His Laws Are Forever And Eternal . That Which Is Eternal And For All Eternity , Is For Forever And For All Eternity And Thus Is And Will Always Be Applicable , Throughout All Generations , Never To Ever change , For It Is Eternal And Thus Is Eternally Valid . HaShem Foresees Forever And Thus HaShem Knows What new times and modernization will come in this World . HaShem Is Ever Wise And Ever Almighty And HaShem Knows That The Laws And Ordinances That He Gave us Will Last Forever , Through Every Circumstance And Through Every Generation . We are not in anyway to make any changes , Chas Ve Shalom , to HaShem's Holy Torah And It's Laws And Ordinances . Our Holy Torah Is From HaShem And So are we From HaShem , and thus are we To Be At One With HaShem And HaShem's Holy Torah True , As HaShem Wrote It And So Will we Then Be At One With HaShem . For HaShem Says Clearly ( Knowing what we might do or what people might do ) That It Is " These Mishpatim Ordinances , " and not changed ones , That HaShem Put Before us Forever and so must we Keep Them Forever Just As HaShem Told Us And Tells us Every Day , That HaShem Gives us Life , To Breathe And Keep HaShem's Beautiful Torah Laws . HaShem " Tasim " - " Put " These Mishpatim Before us And HaShem Will , Every Day " Tasim " - " Put " These Laws Before us So That we Must Keep Them . The Word " Tasim " in Gematriah comes to 400 + 300 + 10 + 40 = 750 and the 0 has no letter in Gematriah . So when the 0 is put with the 7 we get 70 , where 70 in Gematriah is a Hebrew letter " Ayin " and the 5 in Gematriah is the Hebrew letter " Hei " and both of these letters are basically silent , yet powerful and within The Breath Of HaShem's Quiet Silence , And So In Keeping HaShem's Ordinances And In HaShem " Tasim " - " Putting " His Ordinances Before us , HaShem Is Coming To Us In Quietude And Almighty Holiness , Standing " Lifneihem " - " Before us " Always . So as we live each day From HaShem , we are and should ensure that we Always Live By And Follow The Very Commandments That HaShem Gave us , Just As They Were Given By HaShem And Just As They Are Given By HaShem " Lifneihem " - " Before " us Everyday . Follow HaShem And HaShem's Laws Only . HaShem Is At All Times Before us And So Are HaShem's Laws . Let us Never Detract From Them , Chas Ve Shalom , Or Move Away From Them , Chas Ve Shalom , but let us Always Keep Fast To Them And Always Make Them A Full Part Of our Existence and Life , For They are our Life and The Length Of our days , As HaShem Says In HaShem's Holy Torah , as we Stand Always Before HaShem HaKadosh Baruch Hu HaShem The Holy One Blessed Be He . I wish Forever And Eternally Beloved HaShem With Ever And Forever Eternal Deepest Love , A Very Beautiful And Special And Sweet Shabbos Kodesh With Ever And Forever Eternal Deepest Love , and to all of my fellow Jews and to all of Creation a Very Special and Beautiful and Sweet Shabbos Kodesh with love .

The Shabbos Sedra Parsha is Parashas Yisro . It Is In This Beautiful Parsha That HaShem , Having Waited Since Creation , Comes Down To His Beloved Jewish People , The Children of Israel And Gives us The Ten Commandments . The Haftorah for this Parsha is Isaiah 6 : 1 - 7 : 6 , 9 : 5 - 6 , for Ashkenazim and Isaiah 6 : 1 - 13 , for Sephardim . The Haftorah , like the Parsha , also deals With HaShem Revealing Himself , but in the Haftorah of Isaiah , Isaiah sees The Revelation Of HaShem's Kissey Ha Kavod - Throne Of Glory , The Heavenly Throne Of HaShem and the Sedra deals With HaShem's Revelation Of HaShem Revealing Himself To our Jewish people , past , present and future and also to future Gairim . In the previous Parsha , we read about the war against Amalek . Straight after that , we read in this Parsha of Yisro who was Moshe's Father-in-Law , who finally makes up his mind to become a Ger , a Convert to Judaism . This means that something about this war finally sealed it for Yisro . Yisro had been a priest in Midyan , well known for trying every religion there was , even man made-up religions and even false man deity religions , from one idol worship belief to another , one pagan belief to another and Yisro finally realized That Only HaShem Who Is One Is The One And Only Creator And Saviour and that there is none but Him ( Numbers 23:19 and Hosea 11:9 and 13:4 and Deuteronomy 6:4 ) . Yisro had been one of the advisors to Pharaoh and after he saw how Pharaoh had acted and how bitter Pharaoh had treated our Jewish people , he left being Pharaoh's advisor . Yisro was very taken with the hope and faith that he saw in the belief of the Jewish people , that no matter how we suffered , we still carried the Hope and Faith For HaShem To Save us From Pharaoh and the Tum'a impurity of Egypt . Yisro , having tried every religion there was at the time , shunned every one of them as false and useless and of no value at all . When Moshe came to stay with him and Yisro got to know of the holiness of this very holy and righteous man Moshe , Yisro's mind and soul was awakened and the spark of Holiness started growing within Yisro for Moshe's Belief of the One And Only True G-D HaShem , The Only True Belief . Moshe had had many discussions with Yisro , who was so taken with this very holy and sincere man Moshe . Moshe's Truth and Holiness and Sincerity , shone from his holy neshoma and face . The fact that Yisro gave up all the other beliefs one by one , made him very unpopular with the Midyanim and so , they shunned him and his daughters and thus did Yisro have unmarried daughters that the Midyanim did not want to marry . When Yisro heard About HaShem Overcoming Pharaoh and the Plagues That HaShem Sent For His Jewish People , HaShem's Love And Caring For His People really affected Yisro , for Yisro knew that This Could Only Have Taken Place Through A Very Almighty Great Power That Had Overcome the might of Egypt . At first Yisro thought that perhaps the punishment was just to Egypt and Pharaoh , because Pharaoh had said in the beginning that he would not let our Jewish people go , for as Pharaoh said , he " knows not G-D , " so it at first appeared to Yisro that our G-D was only punishing Pharaoh and Egypt for this statement . Then Yisro saw how we Jews had all left Egypt , a place no one before was able to leave , without Pharaoh's permission and Yisro certainly knew that Pharaoh would never have given this permission unless The True G-D Had Intervened And Saved His People . This made Yisro think a lot deeper , as this showed That HaShem Is more powerful Than any force , even the negativity in Egypt . When Yisro heard that all the Egyptians were drowned in the Yam Suf - Reed Sea , that really touched him That HaShem Would Finally Remove our enemy from us , especially doing back to Egypt the very action back on them that Pharaoh had originally done to us Jews . This action of Divine Providence really got Yisro thinking , for he had for so many years looked for that very action , as proof Of The Divine , The Action Of G - D Returning the very punishment Upon the wrongdoer , that that wrongdoer had done to others , to us Jews . He had not found before , such a providence , in any of the false beliefs he had mistakenly tried . But here , before his very own eyes , Divine Providence From HaShem The One And Only True G-D , Revealed Itself and this really got Yisro thinking How HaShem Is The True And One And Only G - D And Creator Of all and that there is none other . But Yisro had still wondered that perhaps HaShem Is Doing these Miracles just to punish Pharaoh and Egypt , for their words , but when Yisro heard That HaShem Had Now Saved Yisrael From another nation ( Amalek ) and that nation was an ally of the Midyanim Midianites , that nation being Amalek , now Yisro fully realized That HaShem All Along Was Doing This For us Jews and Yisro realized The Love That HaShem Must Have For us Jews , The Children of Israel and so Yisro at this very time , After HaShem Helped us defeat Amalek , realized That HaShem Must Hold A Very Close Relationship And Deep Love For our Jewish people and this made Yisro finally make up his mind to become a Ger . The action of Yisro choosing to become one of us Jews , was an amazing Kiddush HaShem A Sanctification Of HaShem's Name , for here was a man who had tried every false religion there was and had shown that he had experience in all the other beliefs and could thus attest to their falsity , so false and contrary , to The Truth of our Holy Jewish Truth Of Judaism Directly From HaShem . This would be a great Kiddush HaShem and an action of great holiness that attests to The Truth Of HaShem As The One And Only True G-D And HaShem's Eternal And Forever Torah Truth And Torah's Forever And Eternal Laws never to change and never to be taken away , but rather Kept For Eternity Eternally And Forever ( Deuteronomy 12:28 ; Deuteronomy 32:45-47 ; Deuteronomy 6:1-3,24-25 ; Deuteronomy 30:10-20 ; Deuteronomy 5:26-29 ; Genesis 17:12-13 ; Exodus 12:14,17 ; Exodus 31:12-17 ; Leviticus 23:27-31,41 ; Numbers 15:38 ; Psalms 119:152-164 ;Isaiah 40:8 ; Psalms 105:8 For HaShem's Laws Are Forever And Will Never Change . So Yisro , knowing that Moshe and our people were encamped at Har Sinai , took Moshe's wife and children and set out to meet Moshe . When he arrived near the camp , he saw that it was Entirely Covered and Protected By HaShem's Clouds of Glory and so , the only way he could get Moshe's attention , would be to put a note on an arrow and shoot it in , hoping Moshe would receive it And That HaShem Would Accept him . The arrow with his message Was Accepted By HaShem and thus showed Moshe that he would be an acceptable Ger Convert . The arrow miraculously fell miles away from where Yisro shot it , right at Moshe's feet . Moshe and Aharon and the elders went out to welcome Yisro in . Moshe told Yisro About All That HaShem Had Done For us Jews and how , each thing that the Egyptians had done to us , was punished in ways with the Plagues that showed a punishment for what was perpetrated on us Jews and that each Plague From HaShem Was HaShem's Divine Providence , for what Egypt had done to us and this only added to Yisro's realization That HaShem Loved Very Deeply His Jewish People The Children of Israel And That HaShem Is The One And Only True G-D Of Creation . Yisro also learned How HaShem Had Rescued us from Egypt , which also meant directly , that as the Egyptians had at first tried to drown us , so at the end were they drowned . So everything the Egyptians had planned on us , happened back to them . This showed to Yisro , HaShem's Divine Providence And How HaShem Controls Creation , not just as A Creator from long ago , But That HaShem , At Every Moment , Even In The Present , Is Involved With His Creation . Yisro made up his mind to Convert and so Yisro became a Ger to Judaism . Yisro circumcised himself and made an elevation offering and a feast offering for G-D and so , he became a Jew . Torah Tells us that Moshe and Aharon and the elders of Israel ( though Moshe was the one walking up and down and serving ) " came to eat bread with the Father - in - Law of Moshe Before G-D . " This has a deeper meaning . Seeing that , that morning , the Mannah had already fallen for the people , HaShem Performed Another Miracle , for while they were at the table , HaShem Sent another piece of Mannah , to fall down on the table directly in front of Yisro , as his portion , as a Jew . The relationship spiritually between Moshe and Yisro , goes back centuries , for our Rabbonim say , that Moshe had the soul of Hevel Abel , while Yisro Jethro , had the soul of Kayin Cain . How Special Is HaShem's Divine Providence and how it works , so no wonder , it was the Divine Providence that caused Yisro to open his eyes to The Truth Of HaShem . It was on the next day that Yisro noticed how the people kept coming to Moshe for judgment and help and how Moshe sat , while the people stood , from morning to evening . Yisro advised Moshe how he would become worn out if he would carry on doing this alone and that he must learn to delegate . Moshe checked this With HaShem , Who Agreed with Yisro . Yisro advised Moshe to choose Men of Accomplishment ( in other words men of standing in the community that would be respected ) ; G-D fearing people ( that would Judge fairly , as if The Sword Of HaShem Was Above their heads ) ; men of truth ( for ' Emes ' - ' Truth ' and Honestly is One of HaShem's Names - ' Emes ' ) , Truth being the basis of a fair Judge ; people who despise money ( so they won't take bribes ) and that Moshe must appoint leaders of thousands , leaders of hundreds , leaders of fifties and leaders of tens and they will judge the people at all times ( which also includes night times as well ) and that Moshe will do the major matters . Yisro specifically mentioned that this is if ' G-D Commands Moshe , ' so that they can bear with Moshe and so lighten his burden . Moshe listened and after this , Yisro went back to Midyan , to teach and proclaim about The One And Only True G-D HaShem . It was on the third month after the Children of Israel left Egypt , that we arrived in the Wilderness of Sinai and we encamped opposite the mountain . We thus received The Torah in the month of Sivan on the 6th of Sivan , which became our Shavuot . HaShem Chose this mountain , not because it was the biggest , because it actually was not , but because it was smaller and more humble . Also , on this mountain , it was the only one on which no idol worship had been done on it . HaShem Called Moshe up to the Mountain and related what had been the past months and How HaShem Had Freed us From Egypt and how we Jews are the most beloved treasure of all peoples And How HaShem Had Borne us on ' the wings of eagles ' ( eagle is used as an analogy By HaShem , as an eagle is unlike any other bird , for as it flies and carries its young , it carries its young above and on its back , thus putting itself between man , on the ground that can hurt the young and the young itself , so as to take the arrows shot at it - Just As HaShem Will Take the blows For us And Protect us ) and that we are to accept HaShem's Covenant . That we are to be a kingdom of Priests and a holy nation . Moshe came down and called the elders and told them All These Words That HaShem Commanded and the entire people responded That All That HaShem Asks Of us , we will all do and so did Moshe bring word back to HaShem . HaShem Asked Moshe to have the people sanctify themselves for two days and that on the third day , HaShem Would Descend For the people On Har Sinai , that a boundary is to be set around the Mountain , that no one is to touch the edge of the Mountain or ascend the Mountain and the people did so . The people requested to hear HaShem Speak To them directly And That Is Why HaShem Spoke To us At The Beginning Of This Revelation . HaShem Said That He Would Come To us In the thickness of the Cloud . It was On the third day , in the morning , that there was thunder and lighting and the heavy cloud on Har Sinai . Many of the people were still sleeping , when we should have rather waited in anticipation For HaShem . This is one of the reasons why we study Torah the whole night on Shavuot , to make up for not being up this early morning At The Giving Of The Torah . HaShem First Sounded the Shofar . Our Rabbis tell us that this was from the horn of that first Ram when Avraham was performing the Akeidah with Yitzchak . Our Rabbis tell us That HaShem Recreated this very horn and that it was the left horn , for in Moshiach's time , HaShem Will Come , With The Blowing of the right horn of this recreated Ram as a Shofar . All the people shuddered and so , Moshe brought the people out To Meet HaShem . The Torah Tells us that the people stood " at the bottom of the Mountain " and this deeply means That HaShem Actually Lifted the entire Mountain above our heads , while we were at the literal bottom of it underneath And So we were Told That we are to accept The Torah or this Mountain Would Be Put Down Upon us . The Mountain was like the Chuppah in a Jewish Wedding , above our heads , While HaShem and us and HaShem's Holy Torah were like the bride and groom and the Thick Clouds were like the four poles at the Chuppah , surrounded by guests , just like we were all surrounded by The Clouds Of Glory and Malachim Angels , for this was a Covenant Eternal , Between HaShem and us Jews , not ever to be broken Chas Ve Shalom but to be kept Eternally This Covenant And The Laws Of HaShem Forever . All of Har Sinai was full of smoke When HaShem Descended Upon it In Fire , very hot while the Mountain shuddered . The Shofar sound grew louder and louder , louder than any human could possibly blow it and also , if a human would blow it , they would run out of breath and it would get softer , But This Shofar , From HaShem , Got Louder And Louder . Moshe Spoke oT G-D And G-D Answered Him . HaShem Was Actually Still In Heaven , so in order for the top of the Mountain to reach Heaven , HaShem Actually Bent Heaven and Earth , so that Heaven was touching Earth And So Did HaShem Come Down To us On Har Sinai . It Was Then That HaShem Gave us The Ten Pronouncements , The Ten Commandments . Before HaShem Spoke , the entire World went completely silent as if no life was around . All went quiet . HaShem Did Not Appear With noise When He Started To Speak , but all of Creation stood still in total Awe at The Creator Of The Universe , at The Creator Of Creation . Animals did not move or make a sound . Trees stopped rustling and the wind ceased to blow . The waves were silent and the birds were quiet . Even the fish in the sea stopped swimming and stood at attention ready For The Creator Of All , To Introduce Himself To His People . The other nation's people at the time asked Bilaam what was with nature that all had gone silent and Bilaam told them That HaShem Is Coming Down On Har Sinai To Meet With His People Israel . The World went completely silent When HaShem Came Down And Said , " Anochi A--nai Elokeicha Asher Hotzeiticha Mei Eretz Mitzrayim Mi Beit Avadim , " - " I Am HaShem your G-D , Who Has Taken you out of the land of Egypt , from the house of slavery . " The First Commandment Is That G-D Is G-D And Almighty and the Second Commandment is that we were to have no other gods , For Only HaShem Is G-D . That we are not to make an image or likeness or carved image of anything above or below , nor prostrate ourselves to them or worship them , to not have any other deity , but to only follow and worship G-D Alone . For HaShem Only Is Our G-D . After HaShem Said To us directly these first Two Commandments , the people expired and their souls left their bodies , for they actually died - Shemos Exodus 20 : 16 - " lest we die " should HaShem Continue To Speak to us directly , Due To The Greatness And Awesomeness Of HaShem's Power And So HaShem Had To Revive us , in the same way That HaShem , At The End Of Days , Will Resurrect the dead at Techias Ha Meisim . So the next Eight Commandments , they requested to hear From HaShem , through Moshe . HaShem Spoke the First Two Commandments Directly To us Jews , for we asked to hear HaShem Directly and also that we would always within our Neshomas , Have The Fear Of HaShem Within us . The Third Commandment , was not to take HaShem's Name in vain , making a false Oath . The Fourth Commandment was to keep the Shabbos and all its thirty nine Melachos . The Fifth Commandment was to Honour Parents . The Sixth Command was Not to Commit Murder . The Seventh Commandment was not to commit adultery . The Eighth Commandment that talks of theft , actually refers to kidnapping for the Commandment against theft is in Vayikra Leviticus 19 : 11 . The Ninth Commandment is against bearing False Witness and the Tenth Commandment prohibits coveting . The first Five Commandments Are Between HaShem And us Jews and the second five Commandments are between woman or man and her or his fellow . When HaShem Gave all The Ten Commandments , HaShem At First , Spoke them all at once , so that all Ten Commandments , Were Said Within a single moment in time at the exact same moment all at once . Such a feat is impossible for a human to do And Only HaShem Can Accomplish This . Also , the people were all at different ages and levels of intelligence And HaShem Said The Ten Commandments To each person directly at the same time , so that each person was given the Commandment and an individual understanding of it equal to their fellow , so that their fellow could understand it to exactly the same level as their fellow , but given at a different level of intelligence , so all could have the same exact understanding at the end . Again , Only Something That HaShem Can Do . Also , the intricacies of each Commandment were given to each individual to their levels of understanding , in the way only they could each understand it , but at the end , each one had the same understanding . All Jews past present and future and even those not yet born and those set to become Gairim Converts , even thousands of years later , their souls were brought to this Revelation . The Parsha ends With HaShem Commanding That an Altar Mizbayach of earth be made for korbanos and that when we make an Altar Mizbayach of stone , that we are to not build them hewn , where a sword was raised over it , which would desecrate it , for metal things are objects of war and the purpose of the Mizbayach Altar is the exact opposite , for it is for the purpose of Peace and Bringing " Closeness , " in Hebrew " Karov , " which is the root of the word " Korbanos " , Between HaShem And us Jews . Also , we are not to ascend HaShem's Mizbayach on steps , but must ensure modesty when walking toward the Altar . So ends the Parsha . The word " Torah " has a Gematriah of 611 and if we add to this , The Two Commandments That HaShem Spoke Directly To us , With His Voice , it comes to a total of 613 , which is the exact number of Mitzvos we as Jews are to Follow and Keep . The is represented by our Tzitzis that Jewish males wear , where the Hebrew word Tzitzis , has the Gematrical value of 600 , and with it's five knots on each corner and eight strings , comes to 613 . When a person becomes a Ger , they are to take on all the Commandments when becoming a Jew . Such a person , has finally heard The Truth and Come To HaShem . Becoming a Gair , is when they leave behind incorrect ways And Follow HaShem Only . They have finally heard and thus left Avodah Zorah ( idol worship ) behind . This is shown in the beginning of this Parsha , where the Parsha starts as , " Va Yishma Yisro , " - " And Yisro heard . " Though , on the surface , it translates as that Yisro had heard all That HaShem Did To Israel His People , taking it more deeply , it is that the Gair has heard HaShem And His Emes Truth , within their Soul . After the long road following foreign untrue ways , they , the Gair have now , just as Yisro , finally Heard HaShem And HaShem's Truth from within . Not easy at all for the Gair , who has to turn away from all that they knew before as a belief and take courage in their hand and admit that the way that they were used to , is the wrong path . Not easy at all . But In " Hearing " HaShem , they take HaShem Within them , Faithfully Following HaShem , on their path to becoming A Holy Jew . We Jews have Within us , HaShem's Name , for we " Vayishma " - " Hear " HaShem . Within the word " Vayishma , " - " Hear " is the word " Shem " - which means the word " Name . " Thus , when they properly convert According To Torah Law , As Given By HaShem To Moshe , carried through the ages by our Sanhedrin and Jewish Beth Din Courts And Following All The Holy Laws Of HaShem's Holy Torah and become a Gair , as one of us , they also Take In HaShem's Name Within and become one of our people . When we look at the Gematriah of the first two words of this Parsha " Vayishma Yisro , " we get the number 1042 , which added up as 1 + 0 + 4 + 2 becomes 7 , the Gematriah of the Hebrew word Moshiach . So when we Hear and Listen To HaShem and throw out all foreign ways and beliefs and Follow HaShem Only , this is one of the ways to help bring Moshiach and usher in The End Of Days . In taking the 10 ( 1+0 )and the 4 and the 2 from this total , the Tenth letter of the Hebrew Alphabet is a Yud , the forth letter of the Hebrew Alphabet is a Daled and the second letter of the Hebrew Alphabet is a Bet/Vet , and these three letters spell , " BaYaD , " - In The Hand " Of HaShem . So when we Listen and Hearken To HaShem And All That HaShem Commands us In HaShem's Torah , as Yisro did , we Are Lifted Up By HaShem And Held Within The Hand Of HaShem . Life must be a constant yearning For Closeness With HaShem , just as the Gair , who has now " Vayishma " - " Heard " HaShem's Calling and so , yearns For HaShem's Closeness . HaShem So Values the Righteous Gair Tzeddek That HaShem Chose To Put The Parsha That Contains HaShem's Meeting And Revelation With His Jewish People And Ten Commandments , In The Parsha Sedra named after a Gair Tzeddek , Yisro . So Much Does HaShem Appreciate the actions of the True Torah Converting Gair , to leave what they held familiar and comfortable and to actually , " Lech Lecha , " as Avraham did , going from all that he knew and all that was comfortable for the time , to a new way of living , Serving Only , The True Creator HaShem And HaShem's Commandments Of HaShem's Holy Torah . So Much Does HaShem Value the Gair Tzeddek , who comes to Holy Yiddishkeit . HaShem Teaches us Here in This Sedra how Yisro , the Gair Tzeddek , took on the whole Torah , for that is the only true way of Jewish Conversion Commanded By HaShem , to Keep and Follow All The Laws Of HaShem's Holy Torah , converting through HaShem's Sanhedrin , or today HaShem's Beth Din , for a Gair is to follow all of HaShem's Holy Torah Laws Given By HaShem To Moshe , so as to follow Judaism , for as we learned in this Sedra , that means following the 613 Mitzvos , the entire Holy Torah Of HaShem and It's explanations . The Ten Commandments are the basic foundation to the Laws . If we count all the letters that make up the words of The Ten Commandments , one counts 620 letters , which is the 613 Mitzos that every Jew must keep and the 7 Noachide Laws , that the nations of the World are to keep . So Deep Is HaShem's Holy Torah . HaShem Reminds us In Devarim Deuteronomy , that all The Torah Laws can be kept , for they are ( as Devarim says ) not just in Heaven that we have to climb up and get them , or across the sea that we have to swim to reach them ( though if they were up in Heaven or across the Sea , we should make every effort to attain them ) . But HaShem's Full Torah Laws Are ( as it says in Devarim 30 : 11 - 14 ) very near us , in our mouth and in our heart , that we may perform it , that we may keep all The Words Of This Torah . HaShem's Commandments And Torah Mitzvos Are our life And The Only True Pathway To G-D . We all , every Jew and every Jewish soul that stood at Har Sinai , you , me and every Jew still to come Were Also Brought To Har Sinai to say To HaShem " Na ' aseh Ve Nishmah , " - " We will do and we will listen , " for we were the only nation to accept HaShem's Holy Torah without having to know what It contained , each one of us agreed to accept It upon ourselves and do all that HaShem's Holy Torah Contains , for ever more to keep It Eternally Forever , Keeping HaShem's Torah Commandments from generation to generation , every Jew you and me and also the Gairim that join us , Given By HaShem , For our Eternal Spiritual Holy Benefit . To Hear and Listen To HaShem , Is To Obey Everything That HaShem Commands . Not just what we might like , But What HaShem Likes And Wants Is What counts And What Is Important , For HaShem Knows All And HaShem Knows What we must do And HaShem Wants us to follow His Whole Torah Laws just as a special Gair Tzeddek is to do . For only then can one say that one truly " hears " HaShem And His Wishes . " Vayishma Yisro , " - " And Yisro Heard , " says so much , just in those two words that start out the Sedra . " Yisro heard , " that there is no other way But HaShem's Way And All Of HaShem's Laws Must Be Followed . Yisro advised Moshe to have his delegates assist in Judging and Teaching . Now all of us need to realize that too . HaShem Is Always Near And Close To all who call upon Him directly , with love . We are all HaShem's Children and can all speak To HaShem directly , without intermediaries . " Vayishma " - " Hearing " HaShem , Is The Only Way And Following HaShem Is The Only True Path . HaShem's Laws Are A Tree Of Life To us . All we need to do is " Vayishma " - " Hear " and grasp them and follow them and make them an inner and outer part of our body and soul And HaShem's Shamayim Will Open Up To us Forever More . I wish Ever Most Forever Eternally Beloved HaShem With Deepest And Sweetest Forever And Most Beautiful Eternal Love Always , A Most Beautiful And Special Shabbos Kodesh With Deepest And Sweetest Forever Love and to all my fellow Jews and to all of Creation , a Most Beautiful and Special Shabbos Kodesh with love .

The Parsha this Shabbos is Parashas Beshalach . In this Beautiful Sedra , we learn about The Almighty's Miracle at the Yam Suf, with the Splitting of the Reed Sea . After HaShem Saved our Jewish People , we sang a Shir - Song Of Thanks To HaShem and then Miryam too , took up her drum and she too with the women , Praised HaShem and so we also know this Shabbos as Shabbos Shira . HaShem Performed Many Miracles Within That Miracle That HaShem Performed for us At the Yam Suf . The Haftorah for this Parsha is in Judges 4 : 4 - 5 : 31 and it also includes the Shir - Song that was sung In Thanks For HaShem's Salvation , by Devorah and Barak , When HaShem Subjugated Yavin , king of Canaan , on our behalf . Our Jewish People , The Children of Israel , had left Mitzrayim Egypt And HaShem Would Have Led us straight to the Holy Land , had it not been for what the Spies later on did . Thirty years before we left Mitzrayim , some of our people from one of our Tribes , the B'nei Ephraim , had miscalculated the time of the redemption and had left Egypt earlier and so , they were attacked and killed . Their bodies had been just left strewn on the road and field . This was one of the reasons Why HaShem Led our people , on the Exodus , away from the areas of the Pelishtim , for we would have seen our fellow Jews lying slain and we would have become disheartened and fearful and would have returned to Egypt Chas Ve Shalom . Another reason , was due to a long standing agreement that we had with Avimelech , from our Fore-Father's time that we would not come near each other to war , us Israel and the Pelishtim , till our and their son's son's time ( as was per the agreement ) and Avimelech's grandson was still alive and so , Does HaShem , In The Torah , Put it as " Ki Karov Hu " - " For it was near , " for this agreement was still ' near ' or in force at that time that we were leaving Egypt . Thus , HaShem Led us away from them . HaShem Led us Towards the Wilderness . With us , we were carrying the bones of Yosef and the leaders of the other Tribes too , from Succoth to Etham , Where HaShem Went Before us By day In a Pillar of Cloud To Lead us and By night , In a Pillar of Fire , with the Malachim Angels Michael and Gavriel and other Malachim that surrounded our Camp , Under The Command Of HaShem . HaShem Is A Master Strategist And Therefore HaShem Had Moshe tell the people to make a strategic move and turn back towards Egypt's direction and encamp before " Pi-hachirot , between Migdol and the Sea , before Baal-zephon ( the fake false idol worship deity Avodah Zorah of the north ) . The Egyptians had set up this false deity to supposedly prevent anyone leaving Egypt and taking any wealth or valuables out of Egypt . The word ' Mitzrayim ' - ' Egypt , ' meant 'borders , ' for the Egyptians tried to prevent people from leaving their borders when they came into them , especially us Jews . Thus HaShem Knew that the Egyptians would think that their foolish false idol had stopped us leaving and so , Pharaoh did exactly As HaShem Planned , When HaShem Had us go back and stop in this exact place . Pharaoh and his men pursue us and that was their downfall . Pharaoh had sent with the Children of Israel , Egyptian officers to make sure that after the three days originally requested , we would return to Egypt . The three days were now up and these officers tried telling us to return to Egypt , but we refused and some of the officers were slain when they became more aggressive and forceful . Some of Egypt's officers escaped and returned to Pharaoh and told him that we were not returning . HaShem Had Told us to remain in the strip of Land by the Sea so that it would appear as though our only way out would be either back in the direction of Egypt , or toward the Wilderness . But HaShem Had Gotten Wild Animals to stand bordering the Wilderness , so that we could not go that way and thus did Pharaoh get the idea that we were trapped and so , with his heart hardened and realizing how valuable we were as a work force , harnessed his own chariot by himself ( unlike other times , where he would have had servants do it for him ) and others too harnessed their chariots and he took six hundred elite chariots , with officers in them all , adding an extra horse ( that remained after the plague of pestilence , for some of the animals were taken into shelter , taking an extra horse per chariot ) , so that they would be able to ride much faster and so he and they pursued us Jews and caught up with us at the Sea . Where in Shemos 14 : 5 , HaShem's Holy Torah Mentions how Pharaoh was told that we had fled , the word " Fled , " in Hebrew is " Barach " and its Gematrical value is 2 + 200 + 8 = 210 , the exact amount of years that we spent in slavery , so they subconsciously knew that we would not return , for the years That HaShem reduced our slavery to , was now up . The reason it was called " Pi- hachirot , " is that at this particular point where we were encamped , were Two Large Pillars with carved images on the Pillars of faces and mouths , thus the word " Pi and hachirot " were to the Egyptian idol worshipers , as mouth and Pillars , for they thought that these stone mouths would speak and stop anyone leaving Egypt . Also , " Baal-zephon " was an idol statue carved in the shape of a large aggressive dog , the only idol That HaShem Had Left , to give the Egyptians the opportunity to either admit it is idol worship , or to foolishly think that it had power that prevented us leaving . The Egyptians made the wrong choice and hounded after us , for idols are worthless pieces of clay , as is anything wrong that humans put up as a deity , For Only HaShem The One And Only , Is G-D . This Was Why HaShem , The Master Strategist , Had us stop at this exact spot , To Test And Punish the Egyptians . The Egyptians were caught by their own foolish idol worship . The Children of Israel and the Eirev Rav , the mixed multitude of Egyptians and other nation's people that had joined us when we left Egypt , That HaShem Had Warned Moshe not to take with us , saw the Egyptians advancing and so , feared for their lives . Different factions showed their fear in different ways . Some wanted to return to Egypt while others wanted to give back what the Egyptians had given them when leaving and still others wanted to fight the Egyptians , while a small faction , wanted to let out war cries and go to full out war with the Egyptians and so , Moshe , the perfect Leader , calmed them all , each faction , with words suited to all their wishes , by saying , " Do not fear " ( to those who did fear ) , " stand fast " ( to those who wanted to go to war ) " and see The Salvation Of HaShem That He Will Perform For you today ; for as you have seen Egypt today , you shall not see them ever again " ( to those who wanted to return to Egypt , or that feared them ) and " HaShem Shall Do battle for you " ( for those who wanted to fight back and for those who set up for all out war ) " and you shall remain silent " ( for all those who spoke of war cries ) . Moshe cried out To HaShem , Who Told him to lift up his staff and split the Sea . But the Sea did not want to open for us . HaShem Reminded the Sea of its agreement in the Beginning , That HaShem Would Set a boundary for the Waters and so it had to obey . But it did not want to obey Moshe , and Samael the Angel who fights against us Jews from generation to generation and who tempted Chava in the Garden , tried to get the Angel of the Sea to not open and to not obey HaShem , for he wanted us Jews killed . HaShem Is G-D . The Sea had no choice but to finally open . The Angel Michael , who was standing in front of the Children of Israel , now went to stand behind us , With HaShem's Help , Helping to shield us with the Pillar of Cloud that also went behind us , putting the Egyptians in Darkness and absorbing their arrows that the Egyptians were shooting at us . The Pillar of Fire also did the same , stopping in front of the Pillar of Cloud , thus giving us light , while the Egyptians were put in darkness . It was an extra time of Darkness added to the six days of The Plague of Darkness that hit Egypt , as each Plague was seven days long except the last Plague . HaShem Moved the Sea with a strong east wind all the night And Split the Sea , Miraculously Leaving dry land as a base to walk on . Our Rabbonim also say that the Sea also relented and opened when the bones of Yosef were brought close to it , for the purity of Yosef , not listening to Zulaicha's attempts at him , also caused the Sea to respect Yosef's bones , who had not fallen to the Yetzer Horah . The Sea , according to many Rabbinical opinions , split into twelve pathways so that each Tribe could walk in its own pathway . The waters between each pathway were see-through , so each Tribe could get comfort by seeing the Tribe next to them walking along - side them too . Should any of our people want to drink , all they had to do was just stretch out their hand to the walls of water and water would come into their hand in a spring form , and when they had their fill , the spring would close again . The walls of water were of brilliant shapes and patterns , so as to calm us , full of wonderful colours . The waters shielded us from the sides and also from the top . This was the seventh day during Passover , the seventh day after leaving Egypt . From HaShem Miraculously , the Sea bed was completely dry so that we could walk safely upon it . Moshe went last through the Sea , so that we would not become disheartened , for if he would have gone first , we might fear the Sea closing afterwards . How beautiful and kind and caring and thoughtful and sensitive to other people's feelings was our Beloved HaShem and Moshe . HaShem Confounded the Egyptians and Had the Pillar of Fire , burn off a single wheel ( The word " Wheel " - " Ofan " is written in the singular in the Hebrew - Shemos 14 : 25 ) from each chariot , so that they could not manoeuvre them ( not all the wheels , as then the horses could still have pulled them ) , thus causing them to drive with difficulty and the Egyptians cried out That " HaShem Is Waging War For " us against them . HaShem Had Moshe Stretch out his hand , not staff - so those who thought it was only through a staff That HaShem had Moshe perform Miracles , would realize That HaShem Does Not Need a staff and nor does Moshe , If HaShem Wills it And Makes it Happen , and the Water came back on the Egyptians and their chariots and horse-men . Torah also says That " HaShem Churned ' Egypt ' in the midst of the sea , " which refers to the whole of Egypt , For HaShem Put the whole of Egypt in spiritual turmoil as if they too ( those who were not at the sea ) , into that churning in the sea and they also suffered , wherever they stood . Every description of what happened to the Egyptians is given so that it shows the different suffering , each individual Egyptian suffered , depending on how they had treated us Jews . The Locust Swarm That had Been Taken By HaShem , after the Plague of Locusts And That Were Put Into the Yam Suf , now continued to attack the Egyptians from inside the water . In the Jewish Passover Haggadah , our Rabbis discuss how many more Plagues hit the Egyptians in the Sea then actually hit them in Egypt . The people doubted that the Egyptians were actually dead , So HaShem Had the Sea spit them out onto the banks so that we could see That HaShem Had Saved us and that we would no longer need to worry about them . Also in that spot , Shamayim and Gan Eiden , feeds tributaries into the Yam Suf and it was there , that Yosef , in the previous generation , had hidden certain valuables , that we found that came up in the Sea , after this event , for Yosef had been shown and thus fore - saw that we would leave Egypt through this route . The Egyptians now felt how it feels when they threw our babies into the River . The people believed In HaShem And in HaShem's Servant Moshe . But what happened to Pharaoh , we ask . HaShem Had Sent fires to burn the Egyptians' home in Egypt , which confounded the Egyptians even more , before they even entered the Sea , for they could see from afar , the burning smoke in Egypt . Pharaoh , being the only one to survive , never returned to Egypt . He ended up traveling to Nineveh , where he eventually became king there and he was the ruler who was told by the Prophet Yonah - Jonah , that he and his city must repent ( in the Book of Yonah - Jonah ) . This time he listened . Moshe and our people then sang a Shir - Song at the Sea and after that Miryam too took her drum in her hand and the other women too went forth and all Exalted And Thanked HaShem . We Daven this song in our Shacharis Davening every morning . How Beautiful Is HaShem . How beautiful it is to be Jewish . From there , Moshe " caused " Israel to journey from there - " caused " because we did not want to leave this spot where such A Saving Miracle Took Place From HaShem . When we did leave , we went to the Wilderness of Shur , a three day journey in the Wilderness and came to Marah , but there the water was " Bitter " - " Marah . " It was not just the water that had a bitter essence , but our Faith In HaShem , which makes all the difference to what happens to us and how we perceive the physical things around us , for if we are Positive and have Faith In HaShem , so is our outlook and so will be our life . We complained there at this place about what we would drink . HaShem Showed Moshe a tree , which when thrown in the water , would make it sweet . It wasn't just the tree that made the water sweet , but as I mentioned , it was also our Faith In HaShem and Outlook and Trust In HaShem . HaShem took this complaint of ours as well as our complaints at the Sea as some of the rebellion in the Wilderness . We then arrived at Elim , where there were twelve springs , for the Twelve Tribes of Israel and seventy date palms - for the seventy members of the future Sanhedrin and also the seventy nations on Earth . From there , we arrived in the Wilderness of Sin , between Elim and Sinai and again complained against Moshe and Aharon . HaShem Took this as another of the Ten Times that we tested HaShem , in the Wilderness . The people cried out for meat . HaShem Sent down here a Special Food From Shamayim , A Spiritual form of food that even the Malachim partake of , for gaining Wisdom . HaShem First Wet the ground To Clean it For us And Then On Top Of that , Laid Down A Layer Of Dew , like a tray , With Such Love And Care , All Prepared For This Special Food that we had never seen before . We asked " Mann Hu " - " What is This " and so it became known to us as " Mann " - " or Mannah . " HaShem Tested us with It , to see our spirituality for the less preparation we personally wanted to do with It , the more holy and spiritual we were and could taste It's sweetness . The less holy , had to bake It to get their physical wants of taste . It could taste like anything one thought of at the time that one ate It . " Also , HaShem Tested us that we would be given a double portion before the Shabbos on friday , with instructions not to gather It on Shabbos for It would not fall then . We were only to collect an Omer size per person . Whoever took more or less , It would Miraculously From HaShem , still be an Omer size . Sadly , Dathan and Aviram disobeyed , for we were to trust that every day , HaShem Would Look After us And Send Again the next day and thus we were not to leave over from It until the morning , but these two tried to keep It till the morning and It became wormy and stank , for in the morning the people saw huge worms coming out of Dathan and Aviram's tents . They also tried to trick the people , by on Shabbos , wrongly putting out purposefully , some Mannah on the ground to try and show up HaShem , But HaShem Sent birds to devour Them . We ate the Mannah in the morning and the quail in the evening . The Mannah continued till the fortieth year in the Wilderness , till we reached the borders of Canaan . HaShem Had Moshe have Aharon , put an Omer of Mann away for safekeeping for the generations . This piece of Mannah , will show itself in Moshiach's time May It Come Soon In our Days . We journeyed further and encamped in Rephidim , where again we were tested with no water . The people complained and contended again with Moshe and it was here That HaShem Gave us the Rock of Water , that became known as the Well of Miryam , which Moshe Was Told At That Time , to strike with his staff and so water gushed out . This Rock followed the Children of Israel all the years during the time that Miryam was with us in the Wilderness and would give off small streams that ran alongside each Tribe , so that they could drink . This Rock of Water Was Given By HaShem , in Miryam's honour , for it was Miryam , who had watched over little Avigdor Moishe in the basket while he was set upon the Nile . Just to mention , that when we journeyed from the Wilderness of Sin , to our journeys and when we encamped in Rephidim , where there was no water to drink and were tested and where we complained , the place was known as " Massah U' Merivah " - " Test and Contention . " The people so wrongly had asked " Is HaShem among us or not ? " How sad , Considering That HaShem Had Shown us So Much How Much He Is With us , but having suffered so much in Egypt , we kept fearing , worrying and losing faith . It was then That HaShem Sent Amalek against us - descendants of Eisav's grandson Amalek . They battled us in Rephidim . Amalek was unlike all the other nations that were in awe Of HaShem's Miracles For us , His Jewish people , The Children of Israel , but Amalek , was not in Awe and sadly mocked HaShem . They had no reason to attack us as we were not coming to occupy their land . They attacked us out of pure hatred for us . They constantly bring the thoughts of Greatness For HaShem , down . HaShem Ordered us from generation to generation , to wipe Amalek out . This is a permanent Mitzvah that where ever they are , we are to remove them and their Un - G-Dly ways from existence . Moshe sent Joshua Yehoshuah to lead our army to battle them , knowing that Yehoshuah comes from the line of Yosef Ephraim and so has the spiritual power to defeat Amalek ( " Am Lek / Lak " - " A People that Licks the blood of People " ) and when our people kept faith In HaShem , we were victorious , but when we lost faith , Amalek started to win . Such is the Way to beat Amalek - to have Faith In HaShem and Follow HaShem's Holy Torah . It got to a stage that we were loosing faith and where Moshe had gone up on top of the hill to pray spiritually for us , that his hands became heavy due to our doubt and so , Moshe was given a stone to sit upon and Aharon and Chur held up Moshe's hands in faithful prayer until sunset and so , With HaShem's Help , Joshua Yehoshuah weakened Amalek with the sword's blade . So Did HaShem Command Moshe to write this as a remembrance in the Book and recite it in the ears of Yehoshuah , that he ( and us ) " shall erase the memory of Amalek from under the Heavens . " We could not at that time completely destroy Amalek , for the time for their final destruction , had not yet arrived . It will only be at The End Of Days , when Amalek's "Sar " - " Protective Angel " who is Samael ( the angel who constantly wants our demise , Chas Ve Shalom , and who tempted Chavah in the Garden of Eden Gan Eiden ) , is destroyed . The same was with " Utz " the guardian Angel of Egypt , who we saw coming to battle us at the Yam Suf , when The Leaders of the Tribes of Binyamin and Yehudah ( Nachshon Ben Amminadav ) , faithfully stepped into the Waters of the Reed Sea , before it split , with Faith In HaShem . Moshe built there an altar and called it , " HaShem Nisi " - " HaShem Is my Miracle " and Moshe said , " For the hand is on the throne of G-D : HaShem Maintains a war Against Amalek , from generation to generation . " It is this part of The Holy Torah , that we read on Purim , a time When HaShem Turned Around the evil scheme of haman , an Amalekite And Destroyed him And his sons And HaShem Saved us . So ends the Parsha . The Parsha is called " Beshalach " - " Sent . " The Gematriah of this word " Beshalach " is 340 , where 3 + 4 + 0 = 7 , thus it totals 7 . This is the Gematrical value of the word Mashiach . The very sending of an emissary For HaShem , can bring Moshiach , depending on how we act To HaShem , in what ever time he or she ( that emissary ) comes and so can bring on The Final Days and Mashiach . Whether that emissary is an enemy like Pharaoh that " Beshalach " - " Sends , " or whether that emissary is a most holy man like Moshe , or like Moshiach will be . Either way , all roads lead To HaShem's Will . Even if we try deviating from The Correct Path Of HaShem , all roads will still end up leading to where HaShem Knows it must go , For HaShem Has many Emissaries In His Creation . In fact , the entire Creation , can end up being HaShem's Emissary . From all of Creation , we can learn Of HaShem , It's Creator . No matter how the Reshayim Evil people in this World try and mess up His Plan , HaShem Has Many Ways of counteracting them . This World is not ours . It Belongs To HaShem . HaShem Gives it all to us to use as A Gift . When we stop appreciating that And HaShem's Gift Of Creation and go our own way , away from His Oneness , to foreign ways Chas Ve Shalom , HaShem Has many Emissaries To " Beshalach " - " Send " to bring things back on track . Every Plague That HaShem " Beshalach " - " Sent " Was Sent with a message and That Message Is That HaShem Is G-D , The One And Only , and also the message to let our people go . The Amazing Miracle of the Yam Suf , that split waters , all over the World , at the same time that the Yam Suf Split , even in a glass an Egyptian might have been drinking with at the time , was a World wide Miracle that all at the time knew of . Only Amalek , who also knew of it , was the only nation at the time that derided it and tried to lessen its Beauty . Only Amalek tries to go out of its way to make mundane , All That Is Wonderful And Miraculous From HaShem . This is Amalek's way - the way away from True Faith In HaShem . But it to , is an Emissary , serving a purpose , that when our Faith In HaShem gets lost and we stop appreciating HaShem and think we can and try do it all ourselves , Chas Ve Shalom , that we are sent a reminder , that we are nothing without HaShem . At The End Of Days , when the whole of Creation will have total Faith In HaShem , HaShem's Laws , HaShem's Holy Torah and HaShem's Oneness And HaShem's Truth , then there will be no need for Amalek and his Sar Samael , and they will cease to exist . But until then , we are to make war with Amalek and their very sentiments , even when they rise up within us , of a lack of Awe In The Almighty HaShem , when their spiritual feelings try and creep in and put down HaShem , His Oneness and His Awesomeness , Chas Ve Shalom . So we are to destroy them from generation to generation , them and their sentiments , where ever we find them ( even if this lack of faith creeps up within us ) . All things in Creation , as Shlomo Ha Melech so wisely put it , are not new , for he said that there is nothing new under the sun . That is true , for even at the beginning of Creation , HaShem Had Already Created the Miracles to take Place against Egypt and at the Yam Suf . HaShem Creates Creation with preparation for every choice anyone can ever make . How Great And Awesome Is HaShem's Awesomeness . So HaShem Has Also Created the Time Of The End Of Days , which if we would all and only choose correctly to Follow HaShem And HaShem's Torah And HaShem's Laws Only , They , The End Of Days , Would Then Come about , for as I mentioned , we and all Creation are HaShem's Emissaries and so every time that we are " Beshalach " - " Sent " to be that emissary , we are to be that emissary , which if we do As HaShem Asks And Wants , can help bring in Moshiach , as the Gematriah of the word " Beshalach " links to the Gematriah of the word ' Moshiach , ' thus as emissaries of HaShem , we can all have the ability to bring on The Time of Mashiach , in that " Beshalach " - " Sending " and so , enter forever and eternally into The End Of Days Olam Habah . The choice in each and every moment is ours . HaShem Has Already Created That Choice Of Olam Habah . So let us all be Faithful and Appreciative To Him , Following Him Only and so , let us choose HaShem And HaShem's Holy Way Only , and then can we all walk into The End Of Days Olam Habah With HaShem HaKadosh Baruch Hu , HaShem The Holy One Blessed Be He . I wish Ever Most Forever Eternally Beloved HaShem With Sweetest And Most Beautiful Forever Love , A Very Special And Very Beautiful Shabbos Kodesh With Deepest Everlasting Love and to all of my fellow Jews and to all of Creation , a Very Special and Very Beautiful Shabbos Kodesh with love .
