Bo - Israel - Miraculous Nation

you're listening to the weekly partial podcast with Ari goldwag recorded with hashem's NeverEnding assistance in Rat Israel 5784 2024 this week's para is par Bo and we have the completion in our para of the last three makos the last three plagues and we have hashem's command to the Jewish people to bring a carbon PES says the PK in chapter 12 verse one hm says to M God says to Moses and in land of Egypt as follows this month which is the month of Nissan okay the first month it's going to be the first month for you for the months of the year and go to say you're to take on the 10th day of this month a sheep each family has to have a sheep they're going to bring a carbon they're going to bring the sacrifice they're going to place the blood on the doorposts it will protect them during Mak there's going to be a destructive force that comes into the world to kill out all of the firstborns of the Egyptians but that will not happen to anyone who is protected by by this Mitzvah by this Commandments okay so it's very interesting T starts talking about the month of Nissan and says that this is the first month but I mean the obvious question is uh Nissan is in the spring P PES Passover is in the spring when's Rashana when is the new year it's in the fall it's in the Autumn it's in Tish usually in September what's going on PK says this is the beginning of the year Nissan is the beginning of the year this is the first month for you and that's question number one and question number two is What's Happening Here with this this is the introduction right we have a we have a new uh a new new year right until now as we'll see in the medish the new year was was Tish really it was the beginning of the year when Hashem created the world which was in Tish which was in the in the in the Autumn but now from now on for some reason there's a new a new New Year it's going to be in the spring and somehow it's connected to bringing a carbon pesak bringing a sacrifice because this introduction and Hasam says this is the new new year now you're going to bring you're going to set aside this animal and bring this corbon in order to protect yourselves really in order that you shouldn't die during makus during when when Hashem kills the firstborn males of the Egyptians okay so we need to understand what's going on here a bit so let's learn this Mage together and we're going to learn something very deep and important and of course something that applies to us and to the Gula to the Redemption that's hopefully going to be very soon maybe even this Nissan and a few months another explanation there been multiple explanations of these these this is the month for you says praiseworthy is the nation that hasem is their God there's something special about CLA Israel there's something special about the Jewish people as we are being chosen we are being taken out of Egypt we are being chosen we will no longer be slaves to Pharaoh now instead we will serve God henceforth since since that time for 33 3,300 years when hasem chose the world which means created the world he brought the world into existence he wanted mankind as a whole starting with Adam the first man Adam arish Adam on through Noah his children in all of the nations of the world he wanted them all he created the world Inay and he said this is this is what I want you guys to do this is I want you guys to serve me but but at a certain point When The World defied God when the world re World rebelled against God Hashem chose yakob and his sons Jacob the people of Israel and he made them the center of his plan for for the [Music] world one of the moment in time which is interesting because it's a different time than when he created the world the time when hasem chose the Jewish Nation to become his special people the time when Hashem chose us made us into this nation redeemed us that time this is a new New Year this is a brand new rashash this is the time of redemption because the Jewish people were redeemed from Egypt and the Jewish people in the future are going to be redeemed at this time as well I would like to read to you from the because he explains this in a very clear way [Music] we're understanding the which indicates that this month is your month what does that mean that the Jewish people are now important they are chosen they're different now than everyone else in the [Music] world the way that Hashem is going to interact with the Jewish people is going to be different than the natural order of the entire world when hashm originally created the world there was a natural order the world had certain rules Shem did not go out of his way so to speak to to bend the rules but here in taking the Jewish people as his nation in choosing us there is a an intrinsic statement so to speak by God and that intrinsic statement is that there's no more nature nature is over the way things have been until now nature doesn't exist in regards to the Jewish people we spoke about in in the podcast that for the Jewish people for the people of Israel uh Supernatural is natural but that's what is saying wanted us to have a month a celebratory month for the moment in time when we were chosen and we became the supernatural Nation we're going to see shortly that there's other reasons why this month was chosen we'll get to that but I just want to bring out this amazing point the Jewish people when hasm created the world Tish represents nature it represents the world is created in Tish we still celebrate that rash the world's creation the beginning of God's work but it's just the beginning and it's just nature when does everything change that God interacts with us in an overt way doesn't just let everything go on its own Hashem chose the month of Nissan as the celebr month the moment in time where we have a different kind of New Year a different kind of rashash Shana Nissan is also a rashash the Mish in in rashash Shana aptly said that there are four different rashash Shas one is in Tish and one is in Nissan excuse me Nissan is a special new year for us in which we celebrate that we are Beyond nature we are Supernatural natural the fact that we are here the Jewish people are still here after 3,300 years is nothing short of miraculous but it was imbued into us at the very onset when Hashem took us as a nation he did it in a supernatural way through through the signs and and wonders he chose us in this way to show us that this is not just a onetime event this is not just a one-off that Hashem performs miracles for the Jewish people but this is the essence of who we are and this is what we're going to celebrate every single year in the month of Nissan when we celebrate pesak when we celebrate Passover and there's going to be a future Redemption which will parallel the original Redemption and it's going to be this Nissan this concept of Nissan it will will be this Nissan this will be what Nissan is at its Essence the miraculous time the word Nissan which is the month of P the name of the month means miraculous says the says in 7 verse5 just like the days when you left Egypt I will show you further miracle so it's not a one-time event it's something that stretches through our history Miracles are the natural state for us and it's also what the future moment is going to look like when we get to Nissan when we get to the Nissan of of redemption says the interestingly and this parallels talks about all the things that happened in Nissan one of them is that Isaac was born miraculous birth right his mother was 90 his father was 100 miraculous birth it's also when y was bound on the altar y a was commanded to sacrifice his son that happened on Nissan too as the marzu explains in order for there to be potential for y to be killed it has to be the day that he was born because we find that the a the there also says inash that the a they live full lives to the day they're their their the day of their birth is also the day of their death it was also the day that Jacob stole the blessings from ASA he received the blessings from his father Hashem promises is Hashem hints to us through this special day through this special month you want to know when your salvation will come you want to know when you'll be redeemed from your enemies it's it's the month of Nissan and I'll mention by the way oh says wait what about ader didn't we have a Salvation from our enemies in ader that's porm right porm is not in Nissan but the fact is that the story of porm when Esther went in and had the parties with hamon and and said he wants to kill us hamon died on P right the fast P so the per story itself also happens in Nissan this is the time Nissan is the time of Salvation as a says this is the first of the months for you this is the month the month of Nissan is the time when we have a very special relationship with Hashem and we acknowledge that we live in a supernatural way because that's the first point in the m so it's about us being us being lifted up above all of mankind now the mes says another aspect of what this month represents this is comparable to a King he had a son his son was incarcerated in jail and he took him out of jail which means think about it why would a why would a King have his son in jail his son must have done something wrong but he saw let's say I'm trying to understand the Mish you saw that his son is ready to change saw his son is ready to come out of jail and become a new person to act like a prince the king as he takes his son out of jail he says I want this to be a special aniversary for our kingdom my son coming out of jail means that there's a future for my monarchy my son coming out of jail means that there's hope for for our kingdom because he's ready to take on the mantle of leadership my someone out from Darkness to Light from being in incarcerated to life from from being enslaved to freedom and from to Redemption so to Hashem besides we spoke the first aspect here really was that Hashem brought us into a brand new existence a supernatural existence but the second Point here is that our existence was crushed our exist was crushed as long our talents were crushed our whole being our whole National Essence was crushed as long as we were in jail as long as we were under the boot of the Egyptians but when we came out it was a cele celebratory it became a celebratory time why because now we can be who we're supposed to be okay there's the the the supernatural aspect that's the first aspect but the second aspect is just simply now we can be who we're supposed to to be now our potential our our talents instead of be being used for backbreaking labor now we're going to start to to use our Artistry our artisanship in the creation of a mishon the Tabernacle in the service of Hashem the service of God we're going to redirect our n National purpose from being a slave Nation to being a nation that is the prince of God who now expresses The Godly purpose in the world says God takes us out God takes out the [Music] captives he takes out the captives means in their chains with from their chains that's so clear exactly the is saying takes us out of Darkness the says into took us out of darkness and and the shadows of death took us out from from these a yoke a heavy Yol an iron Yol and what did instead what Yol did he place on us in said the ol of Tyra the sweetest uh Yol that could be placed on us the the the T which makes us into princes which makes us into great people From Slavery to Freedom he says you are the children of hem we become we become the children of God all of us every single Jew is a child of hem every single one of us has the potential to manifest godliness in the world to be that Prince who's LED out of jail and now and now can be all he's meant to be God is the mighty Redeemer the Lord of hosts is his name so the month of Nissan expresses this incredible Joy it's it's the moment we got out of jail it's the moment we were released our our potential was released our talents were Unleashed and now we're able to to be who we're supposed to be now we're able to be those princes the children of Hashem so that's the second aspect the second aspect first is the miraculous second is just the simple ability to be who we're supposed to be to be the princes of Hashem and the third and final aspect is as we're about to read besides for the the personal Redemption that OCC for us besides for that there's also something else that happens and it's really an obvious uh result Snowball [Music] Effect explains that means that not only is this Redemption for you this is the month that represents your miraculous nature and your moment when you left your incarceration it's also a Redemption for me God says I was redeemed with you says that Hashem as it were redeemed from Egypt the nation of the the nation of the Jewish people and their God so God redeemed himself so to speak this month is a special month not just for you but also for me says God redeems us the car PES by us bringing the PES it redeems us and it redeems God as it were now God can be manifested in the world because now we are the princes now we are the ones who have the ability to be who we're supposed to be and and have the ability to reflect God's light in the world so our Redemption is really God's Redemption so to speak it's the culmination of God's plan for the world it's the culmination of the moment when we come out and now we can manifest godliness in the world and that is the specialness of what the month of Nissan is the month of Nissan is that moment in time where Hashem reveals himself in the world there is a supernatural existence there is something more than just tea than just nature there's something more than just being crushed under the Yoke of an oppressive enemy an oppressive culture that seeks to Rob us of all we are spiritually as we come out of that oppression as we are redeemed from that oppression we start to manifest godliness and this is true then and this is true now you think about what is going to be the result of the challenging time that the Jewish people are going through here in Israel if we think about it what's it going to look like how will things change well we can't imagine it yet but there's going to be an incredible hit an incredible opening for us the Jewish people are going to be returned to their creator return to their purpose so many people are in in the middle of a a process of reconnecting to Yiddish kite to Judaism to the the traditions of our past it was already happening before but it's happening in a stronger way more open way even now and so there's a Gul that's happening there's a Redemption that's happening and I believe that we will see a very very strong manifestation of that this Nissan this Nissan starting with the beginning of the monthes Nissan spoke about it in the msah podcast number 17 check it out but this is happening but it's not just a personal Redemption it's a Redemption of the whole world when the Jewish people act as we are supposed to when we reflect the light of Hashem when we act properly we leave when we leave the jail when we leave our constriction and our un willingness to be the The Messengers of Hashem and we leave that behind and we become the prince that we are the we not only redeem ourselves we redeem the entire world and as it were Hashem is also redeemed along with us because now God is Manifest in the world in in a clear way I want to bless you I ask you to bless me hasm should help us that we should be able we should be we should Merit to to see the power of Nissan to be reminded of the power of this month that we are that we should understand that we are not bound by the Earthly we're not bound by our T by our nature but we can transcend it with hashem's help we will transcend it with hashem's help we will return to him we will return to being the princes that we are supposed to be and all the world will be the better for it thank you so much for listening have a wonderful shabas this podcast was made possible through the gracious donations of
