Impossible? Nah! - Rabbi Doniel Staum

foreign was born for three months his mother is able to hide him from the evil Egyptians who want to throw him into the sea with the rest of the Jewish babies but after three months she couldn't hide him anymore so she takes a box and she puts him into the Nile River and who should come down to the Narada who goes down to the Nile basparo the daughter of Parow lyricos she goes to wash by the side of the river what was she really going down for it wasn't just a regular bathing she was going she wanted to divest herself from the idolatry from the polytheism of her father's house an incredible thing that the daughter of the Pharaoh should want to become a monotheist to believe in God but the question is who she went down to the Nile that's a fairly common thing a normal thing especially for Egyptian aristocracy and if you calculate was born in Zion outdoor for three months he's hidden away and now he's put into Denial on Zion Sivan incidentally the day that he's going to receive the Torah many years later Zion Sivan is the summertime it's hot especially in Egypt in Egypt so she went down to the river she went to cooler that there was a higher purpose in her bathing because I'll tell us that she saw the table of Moshe she saw the little box and she reached for it and they started before her hand extended because she really couldn't reach it and her hand was miraculously able to extend what that means literally whether that means she reached beyond their comfort zone but she reached for something that was beyond her and she was somehow miraculously scissors he says that's how you know that she was coming for a higher purpose that she was coming to believe and to become close to Hashem because the Jewish people throughout time there are so many situations where it's impossible something is beyond reach to be a faithful to you in so many situations throughout our history to maintain commitment to the Torah values it's just impossible but that never stopped us we reach we reach Beyond we're a person can normally reach our arms length leeches out the rebuilding of the Jewish people in the last 60 years since the Holocaust last 70 years since the Holocaust it's a miracle the building of Heritage thrill the proliferation of Torah that's everywhere it was beyond our control it was beyond our reach it wasn't something that was possible to happen and yet we reached for it and we achieved it within it's happened again and again and again in every single Generation by paparo comes down she's the fact that she reached for something Beyond her shows that she was there for a higher purpose of you she wanted to come close Tasha because when a person wants to come close to Hashem then they can reach Beyond to become to become Hashem person has to reach beyond their comfort zone Beyond what's capable of what's possible therefore we know that she was she wasn't coming for a typical thing was typical bathing then it's out of my age so I leave it there what do I care I'm here to bathe I'm here to have a good time so if I see something that's beyond my reach but if it's something that I'm committed to a greater purpose something higher that my soul is yearning for then I'm gonna reach Beyond and that is part of the Jewish people and what a beautiful way to begin the story of moshrabino's Life Israel who saves Chloe Israel from an impossible situation the first of many that's not the first the other side though she lived through many of those situations but First National situation of impossibility and yet that's where I am Christian Torah an impossible people we've always been an impossible people Beyond impossible that's the greatness of cloud Israel that's the greatness of the birth of the greatness of vasparo have a beautiful Shabbos as we begin the weeks of golis and a beautiful Shabbos from New Hempstead
