Vaeschanan - Cities of Refuge

if you're listening to the weekly partial podcast with Ari goldwag recorded with hashem's never running assistance in Irma Vision Israel 5783 2023 this expansion is partially and Moshe Rabino tells us it was very important to Moshe Robin to Moses to separate three cities on the Eastern side of the Jordan River three cities that would be Cities of Refuge news foreign when a person would unintentionally murder unintentionally kill another person who like saying it was clearly not done with any premeditation he didn't hate him from before he will have an opportunity the ability to run to one of these three Ari michlet these three Cities of Refuge and he'll be able to live we find there's the concept of the goyal hadam when someone is killed even if it's unintentional so the girl hadam the Redeemer of the blood a relative of the person who is murdered he's allowed to go and kill the murderer even if it was done unintentionally now once the murderer the unintentional murder reaches the City of Refuge he's safe the Redeemer of the blood is not allowed to kill the murderer the measures tells us here why was it so important for Moshe rabenu to make sure that these three cities were set aside these cities wouldn't come into effect wouldn't be available for unintentional murderers until after the kibush after the land was conquered take another 14 years between actual kibush and the and the distribution of the land why was Moshe insistent upon creating these Cities of Refuge at this time before he passed away I'm gonna believe me had experienced something in the past where he needed Refuge because he had killed someone Whoever has tasted the food knows the tastes what was the circumstance amitri yes about a hundred years before this before they came into the land of Israel when he was a young boy so he killed the Egyptian who had been on the verge of killing a Jew so he came out on the second day and he found Dustin and aviruma fighting with each other says he came out in the second day Reb review um right it was the sun who embarrassed Moshe Rabino and said are you gonna kill me right Musha saw these two people arguing and he said to them why are you fighting why are you why are you trying to strike your friend now word got back to pharaoh lamosha Rabino had killed somebody it killed an Egyptian so pyro had seen many things that Moshe Rabino had done as a child he lived in the palace and as a child he had done many things which indicated that he was the ultimate Goyle he was going to be the ultimate Redeemer of the Jewish people for whatever reasons didn't say anything until now but at this moment when he came to one of the Egyptians being killed by Moshe he said look I was quiet until like when it comes to the fact that Moshe is killing somebody killing an Egyptian grab him okay so Moshe Rabino indeed had killed someone he had done it to prevent the death of a Jew so he had done it right there's a halacha that you're allowed to kill someone who's coming to kill you prevent the death of a Jew or nevertheless he needed to escape says he ran away from in front of pharaoh so what's the story The Message tells us what's the story what happened needed to run away from in front of the face of pharaoh it sounds like um so it was a really close call my strawberry no he was found guilty and they had brought him to the the guillotine to chop off his head and the Executioner taking the sword about to chop off the head of mushroom because a miracle happened moshrabino should have been killed but his neck became solid like like shy like uh marble well about Claudius of course includes all of the souls of Claudia Israel and shirashim the song of songs Solomon's King Solomon says that your neck is like an ivory Tower and this indicates right that migdal is always a tower is always something that the human being constructs to protect himself so there's an aspect of protection that monster Amino had miraculously Hashem protected him that he shouldn't be killed his neck became as strong as marble um not only that sister Not only was my sharabino protected from death that his neck became hard but what happened was the The Executioner took the sword and was trying to kill my shirabeno and instead it bounced back and it killed the Executioner Minaj says Hashem saved me from The Sword of pharaoh aramaically there's The Magicians making in Russia I was saved but someone else was not safe from the from the sword executioner was killed so as I'm a fortune explained everyone saw a head fall of a person who is dead they thought it was moistura that it was his head but instead it was The Executioner's head samosha was able to escape went by kapara another explanation of what happened how he was able to escape that there was a malach an angel that came the angel took on the image it looked like mushroom and because the angel went in for the execution Maisha was able to escape well you swim in any event however it was that he escaped he escaped miraculously and that's kind of the point not kind of it is the point in the ear mikulat in the City of Refuge we see that Hashem allows for creates a possibility for the unintentional murderer to be able to escape to be able to find a place of Refuge rabenu when he killed as he was supposed to do the Egyptian he needed to escape he needed divine intervention in order for him to be able to have Refuge to get to to ISRO to find his white sippora so too moshrabeno understood the necessity the importance for someone who kills unintentionally or in in this case it's unintentional to be able to escape and find Refuge to be able to have a place as Hashem commands a place where Hashem gives that person a place to escape to Arab Yeshua Ray Nissan says something amazing now listen there's so much to learn here in this madrush because when we talk about the the fact that Hashem is saving Moshe Ruben from certain death as a result of the murder that he did and when we talk about these things we understand that it also teaches us something about the mistakes that we have made the situations that we find ourselves in and how Hashem gives us an opportunity to escape from them right a person you know an unintentional murderer there's nothing more terrible than that think about it person kills somebody else another human being by accident it can happen today someone recently just told me a story someone killed somebody uh ran them over in a car the person was killed instantly what a terrible situation terrible guilt but Hashem offers the unintentional murderer a place of Refuge not just from the girl had down there the one who is to redeem the blood of the murdered but also from the person for the person who has done something wrong himself right how does it happen and a person causes the death of another human being we find Hashem we find that Arkansas tell us the Hashem causes good things to happen through good people the Trump causes negative things to happen because the person needs to experience this there's something negative that they may have done there's some tikkun some rectification that they need to go through we should never know such a problem but the depth of it is as I understand it is that each and every one of us has things that we've done that we're not proud of each every one of us has done a virus we've hurt people around us we have caused spiritual damage to ourselves to others but there's something called the City of Refuge and there's a way Hashem has set up a way for each and every one of us to fix the things that we have broken now listen to what happens as most shelving runs away and this I think is very much emblematic of how this idea can apply to us I mean sure Rainey look at the Miracles that Hashem did for my show when it was time when he had to run away because he had killed the Egyptian s the officers of power they were running after emotion had to escape they became mute they became deaf they became blind they weren't able to see them they were able to locate him those were able to see him couldn't speak they couldn't say where he was those who could have seen him weren't able to see because they became blind [Music] Maisha was able to escape he was able to run away he was given the opportunity to seek Refuge through a miracle now what's interesting is when Hashem wanted Moshe Rabin to go and save the Jewish people to be the goyal to be the Redeemer Masha said I can't I can't speak I'm not I'm not an amazing orator I'm not I don't have the ability to say the things that need to be said I don't have that smoothness of speech Orlando you don't remember what I did when you needed to escape when you needed to be redeemed what happened to the officers of pharaoh Adam Hashem says tomorrow you think you can't speak but who's the one who gives the ability to speak to the human being [Music] when it came to taking away the speech of those officers when you needed to run away they should be able to tell on you I did it I took care of you when it comes to Redemption I'm good at that so to speak I know how to save you you think that I can't help you to speak in order to redeem my people in order to redeem the Jewish people so in reading this message it seems to me that the message is telling us something amazing something deep and that is Redemption his Escape his seeking of Refuge which Hashem allowed and made possible through a miraculous manner represents in his emblematic of the future Redemption of the Jewish people which would happen many years later and it's also representative of our Redemption our individual Redemption and our national Redemption Hashem promises us that when it comes to redeeming us when it comes to us escaping from the mire of sin when it comes to us escaping from the mire of our involvement and and being stuck in Exile amongst the nations of the world when we seek Refuge when we want Redemption it's going to come in a way which is unfathomable which is Supernatural foreign goes on to give us a number of different examples of situations of great sages of great sadikim of great righteous individuals who were trapped they were trapped and the measures tells us that you know sometimes you can have someone who is your protector sometimes you can have somebody who's your guarantor who takes care of you who makes sure that everything goes well for you who is your Patron it's actually the word the major she uses you have a human being so sometimes their parents aren't available for them sometimes the parents have died some whatever it is situations that require a patron that a person has someone who will take care of them who will represent them who will protect them well let's say the individual who has this Patron who has this protector somehow is caught he's caught by the judges he's caught by the law was caught by the cops he ends up in jail Allah they go and you tell the patron they say the one who you're in charge of is stuck he's been caught there's a million dollar bail ornament Sky my love so if the guy you know if it's like a lower a menial crime so then the patient will go and take care of the guy but if let's say the the person is being taken out to be killed let's say he's been described me so he's been he's been found guilty of death but that Patron can't help him I can't The Protector can't protect him from the death penalty well because not this way Hashem is different than this the angels of Glory Days the angels of Hashem they said to Hashem you're you're your house Member One of the members of your household has been caught my name is he said I'm there Hashem says they said he's been caught he's been sentenced he's they're taking him out to be killed um [Music] Hashem doesn't back off because he's kind of means Hashem says that's it I'm there I'm gonna protect him right this is what the posix says Hashem is there to protect us even though is protected and the pasta goes on the magic goes on to talk about Daniel who is thrown into the the Grava Araya as he was thrown into the lines then and still Hashem was there to protect him and save him also by hanani Michelle vazario thrown into the thrown into the fire well actually I'm sorry it's not it says Abraham was thrown into the fire someone to save him was thrown into the belly of the fish someone to save him so Hashem is there for us and I will say again Hashem is there for us when we have fallen to the mire of Cinder Meyer of Godless the mire of of needing to be redeemed from the nations of the world Hashem is pulling us out Hashem is drawing us home Hashem is saying here there's a place of Refuge generality thrall in the land of Israel return again to the land of your soul don't stay stuck out there and goes don't stay stuck come home and I like to just read to you the end of the measures the last few lines it's a final lesson an important lesson Hashem offers us Refuge do we appreciate the Refuge do we appreciate that Hashem is ready to save us we appreciate that the Miracles are happening all around us do we appreciated my sharabenu sings Shira says word us means then just like it says it says that after mushroom and Claw Israel experienced the salvation of the Sea of reeds they went through the yams of on dry land they sang a song Mr albino also sang a song when he recognized and sometimes it takes a long time to recognize that it was a approximately 100 years later after Hashem had saved my sharabino that he separated these cities and he had a had he had a the light bulb went off like they say in Hebrew it registered for him wow Hashem saved me then I have to make sure that I give an opportunity to save those unintentional murderers now and he sang a song when he recognized that he was saved that the opportunity for salvation was there she miraculously helped him and Hashem was opening up the opportunity for others to be miraculously saved and to have a place of Refuge he sang he sang a song Ivy says he sang he sang then at the beginning he sang when he was when he was saved he sang a song the public says he sat at at the he lived where Israel was near that near that uh near the well myself said a song at the air at the well so too they recognize that the well gave him sustenance my sharabino also sang when he recognized that the world gave him sustenance he recognized that Hashem who is the bear who is the source of Our Lives the source of our sustenance where I believe in the future so Remy Levy says that he sang at the time 100 years later when he recognized the Salvation that he had that was the Salvation that was offered to Those Who Kill unintentionally he recognize the Salvation that he had when he had killed someone so sometimes you recognize the Salvation right away and sometimes it takes 100 years to recognize his salvation but the point is you gotta sing you gotta sing You Gotta look for and recognize what's been going on here for 100 years in the land of Israel over the last hundred years plus who has offered us a place of salvation do we recognize you know I read I read the mishbach magazine recently there was a whole section about the dangers of how in New York the Liberals are chasing after the Jews stopping them from doing parts of Mitzvahs brzmila they're trying to enforce upon them their educational standards teach them terrible liberal ideals that are completely antithetical to our values but do we hear the message and we don't belong there we don't belong in New York we don't belong in California we don't belong in Los Angeles we don't belong in Australia in South Africa in South America we don't belong in Europe do we recognize that it's Hashem speaking to us and saying you got to get out of here they're trying to kill you yes you have a neck of stone you have a hard neck we're gonna fight back against them but don't you realize you gotta run away don't you realize you sat through a tissue buff you sat in you more and then you cried over the base of the destruction to be some English but here it is about to be rebuilt don't you want to be there for it don't you recognize this is the place of salvation if you want to know where you're going to be able to remain it's going to be Eric's Israel the mountain the mountain of Zion is the place of Refuge do we recognize that do we experience that do we take that to heart is ready to do the Miracles for us but are we gonna run away are we going to run to that place of Refuge are we going to stay in the place where the sword threatens us I believe that part of the message of what we go through on tissue and part of the message of what my sharabenu is teaching us here Maisha he sees it's it's not even the time yet but he already sees that we need that place of Refuge it's not even the time of that we've completely conquered Arts Israel with my sharabenu and yet he sees the need for a place of Refuge he sees it already at the cusp as we stand on the border of Arts Israel here we are on the border of mashiach time to recognize that we need to come to the place of Refuge we need to return to Earth Israel we need to return to the place that Hashem promises that he's going to protect us bless you I ask you to bless me some shall bless us all that we should be able to recognize the opportunity that is there for us to run to run to be redeemed from our sins through chuva through repentance from the darkness of golus the darkness of Exile which we don't have to be there anymore some should help us to recognize that it's time to come home some should help us to to open our eyes and see the place of Refuge that he has set up for us here in Arizona thank you so much for listening have a
