Message 1-1-11 VaEra-And I Appeared Exodus 6:2-9:35 Ezekiel 28:25-29:21 Introduction Despite God’s message that they will be redeemed from slavery, the Israelites’ spirits remain crushed. God instructs Moses and Aaron to deliver the Israelites from the land of Egypt. The ten plagues are the most sustained manifestation of Divine wrath since the Flood, way back in Parashah Noach, an awesome display of the power of the Creator. What are we to make of this display of God’s rage? The Haphtarah portion associated with this Torah portion is filled with explicit references to the destruction of the Egyptians. Ezekiel has a vision of God, who tells him, “Turn against Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and prophesy against him,” as Moses once did. The Almighty then proceeds to enumerate a new series of destructions that will befall Egypt for its mistreatment of the Israelites.   Shalom Chaverim!

Sfas Emes - Parshas Vaera

The weekly Sfas Emes is now available in a Sefer. The Seferis called Emes Ve'emunah : A Sfas Emes Companion. This Sefer contains all of the materials in the weekly emails, plus new insights. The Sefer also contains the text in lashon hakodesh on which the Sfas Emes worked to produce his ma'amar. Accessing the the Sfas Emes via the Sefer offers advantages. You have the week's Torah without having to print the email. You have the Sfas Emes' text--which could not be sent by email. Also many people who would enjoy the Sfas Emes do not have internet. You can purchase this Sefer at your favorite bokstore, or online, at the Targum or Feldheim websites. Emes Ve'Emunah will also be available for purchase or perusal at the SOY Seform Sale, January 15-January 24.   Parshas Vaera Sfas Emes, Zechuso Tagein Aleinu, Vaera, 5635 The Sfas Emes begins by quoting a Medrash (Medrash Rabba, Shemos, 9:3). That Medrash, in turn, refers us to a Mishna in Berachos (5:1): "Ein omdim lehispalel elah mitoch coved rosh." ("One should not begin to daven unless he/she is in a proper -- i.e., serious, sober -- frame of mind.") Because a proper frame of mind is so essential for davening, the Mishna continues: "... A person may not interrupt his davening -- even if a serpent has coiled itself around his heel." Scorpions, however, are more dangerous than serpents. Thus, the Gemara states (Berachos 32b) that if a scorpion is targeting a person while he is davening, the person may interrupt his prayer to take appropriate measures. The Sfas Emes comments that "nir'eh" ( "apparently "), the reason for our ancestors' descent to Egypt was to prepare them for living (afterwards) in Eretz Yisroel. In support of this interpretation, the Sfas Emes notes that when the Medrash (Parshas Shemos) lists the gifts from HaShem for whose acquisition, suffering was necessary, it includes Eretz Yisroel. How did our experience in Egypt prepare us to live in Eretz Yisroel? The Sfas Emes's answer to this question may initially mystify us even more. He cites two maxims of Chazal, both of which seem -- even at second sight -- to be totally irrelevant to the present discussion. Thus: "Only He who has triumphed over the serpent shall marry the king's daughter." And: 'Not everyone who deems himself worthy is, in fact, worthy.' A fair question at this point is: what is going on here? We start by noting the following: First, the "serpent" to which the Medrash refers is the power of sexuality and its potential for abuse. The Sfas Emes makes this connection clear by an allusion to the "serpent" who got Ahdam and Chava into trouble in Gan Eden. Second, Egypt was well known as a place where promiscuous behavior was the norm. (See, e.g., Yechezkel, 23:20.) Hence, Egypt was, so to speak, the ideal training ground for experience in learning how to deal with that "serpent." Why did Bnai Yisroel need that special training? Because Eretz Kena'an, the land to which they were going, is also a place in which the "serpent" is unusually strong.. Thus the Zohar even refers to 'Kena'an ' as a "serpent." The Zohar is especially concerned with our limited capacity to handle the 'serpent's' seductive power. This concern shows itself in an unexpected way. At one point (Shemos, 6, 4 ), the Torah refers to Eretz Yisroel as "eretz megureihem". The pshat poshut -- the simple meaning -- of this phrase is ; "the land in which they -- -the Patriarchs -- had sojourned.. " By contrast, the Sfas Emes reads the word 'megureihem ' as coming from the root g'u'r -- 'to fear; to be in awe'. This reading sees Eretz Yisroel as "the land of heightened awe of HaShem". The Sfas Emes continues, telling us that the reason HaShem and our ancestors wanted us to be in Eretz Yisroel was that we accept HaShem's kingship there. Why so? I suggest the following answer. Chazal tell us that "kohl hagadol meichaveiro ... " ("The temptation to sin is greater for a person who is on a higher level of spirituality than for a person on a lower level of spirituality.") Apparently, a similar relationship prevails geographically. That is, Eretz Yisroel is a place where higher levels of kedusha, (sanctity) are feasible. Likewise, it presents a heightened susceptibility to go in the opposite direction. Hence, the need for an "immunization" process in Egypt. Because Eretz Yisroel is a place of intense spirituality, its special benefits accrue only to people who are on a high madreiga (spiritual level). With this perspective in mind, we can now understand the relevance of the two maxims that the Sfas Emes cited above. Yes: 'Only he who has triumphed over the serpent shall marry the king's daughter.' And since living in Eretz Yisroel is a spiritual privilege, we know why: 'Not everyone who deems himself worthy is, in fact, worthy.' Basically, these two maxims encapsulate most of this whole ma'amar. We can be grateful to the Sfas Emes for taking the trouble of filling in the blank spaces. Further, just as this logic was in operation at the national level, so, too, at the individual level. Clearly, we cannot do a good job of accepting HaShem's kingship if our minds are full of the "machshovos zoros" (alien thoughts) placed there by the "serpent". Therefore, to free our minds from such distractions, Chazal designed our Siddur to focus on our liberation from Egypt immediately preceding our core prayer, Shemoneh Esrei. Good! Thanks to the Sfas Emes, we now have a better understanding of the role of the "serpent" -- and measures to deal with him -- both at the individual and at the national levels. What can we say about the 'scorpion'? We badly need help in understanding the 'scorpion', for, as we saw earlier, the 'scorpion' is even more dangerous than the 'serpent'. (Before proceeding further, note some essential background information. A serpent's bite inflames the victim's body, and gives him high fever. By contrast, a scorpion's sting chills the victim, lowering his temperature. I suggest that the Sfas Emes had these basic facts in mind when he discussed the features of these two deadly creatures) The Sfas Emes confronts the challenge of explanation head on. He does so by telling us that the "serpent" seeks to entice us to aveiros done with heat,. Presumably what the Sfas Emes has in mind here are aveiros of passion or of anger. By contrast, the Sfas Emes says, the 'scorpion' reflects mitzvos (!) done with "kerirus" -- i.e., coldly. I say mitzvos" because the Sfas Emes immediately refers to "Amaleik, asher karcha ..." (homiletically, "who cooled you off..."). The problem with Amaleik is not that he entices us to do aveiros coolly, but rather, that he gets us to do mitzvos coolly. (How does Amaleik achieve this goal? Part of the story is reflected in a gematria: Amaleik == safeik (doubt). The Sfas Emes states unambiguously that such "cool" behavior is "much worse" ("garu'a beyoseir") than the aveiros done with heat. In fact, the Sfas Emes says, our descent to Egypt was in order to enable us to escape. Escape from what? Escape from the 'coolness' with which Lavan -- like his colleagues Bil'am and Amaleik -- was trying to destroy us. Note: to view our enslavement in Egypt as an escape from an even greater catastrophe shows how ghastly is the state of kerirus. And to make to make things even worse, we have no remedy for the spiritual sickness of kerirus. Indeed, the Sfas Emes concludes that we may not be able to treat this moral ailment until HaShem's name is complete; that is, until the coming of Moshiach. In discussing the problem of kerirus, the Sfas Emes notes two features -- ahtzvus and ahtzlus. That is : depression and the closely related, lassitude ( inability to take iniative). The Sfas Emes does not mention a feature of kerirus that is very prominent today -- a desire to be "laid back" and "cool", i.e., emotionally and intellectually disengaged. The reason for the Sfas Emes's omission of this feature may be simple. The ultimate in being "cool" and "laid back" is a corpse on a slab of ice in the dark of a municipal morgue. Consider the alternative option: a life lit with the light of mitzvos and warmed by the warmth of Torah. We now know a possible reason why the Sfas Emes did not mention the desire to be 'cool'. Because he thought that was not a option for any intelligent person.     Comments? Reactions ? Questions? Suggestions?

Parshas Vaera Thanking the River From earliest childhood, we are taught to express our gratitude for anything we receive. Think back. What were the first things your parents taught you? “Say please” and “Say thank you.” Appreciation and gratitude seem to be fundamental universal values. Why is this so? Is it only to give our benefactors a good feeling? Or is there some deeper purpose? What exactly do these words mean? In this week's Torah portion, we find a rather strange form of gratitude. As the story unfolds, Pharaoh defiantly refuses to release the Jewish people from bondage. The Ten Plagues begin. First, the Nile River turns to blood. Pharaoh persists in his stubborn refusal, and the river spawns and disgorges myriad frogs that swarm over all of Egyptian. Pharaoh still resists, and the very dust of the earth is transformed into lice. But this, too, does not convince Pharaoh to release the Jewish people, and as the plagues continue, Egypt is overrun with beasts of prey. And so it continues until Pharaoh finally lets the Jewish people go. If we look carefully, however, we notice an interesting distinction between the first three plagues and all the rest. Moses was the divine messenger to Pharaoh and the Egyptians, and he personally administered the plagues. Nonetheless, Hashem chose his brother Aaron to administer the first three plagues. Why was this so? The Sages tell us that for Moses to strike the river and turn it into blood or to generate a plague of frogs from its bowels would have been an act of ingratitude. During the decree of infanticide, Moses had been concealed among the bulrushes of the Nile, and in effect, the river had saved his life. How could he now afflict it with plagues? Furthermore, Moses had struck down an Egyptian taskmaster who had been tormenting a Jewish laborer and buried the body in the soil. Therefore, it would have been an act of ingratitude for him to transform the soil into lice. But wait! What sort of gratitude was Hashem demanding from Moses? What is the point of being grateful to inanimate entities such as the river and the soil? Clearly, the primary purpose of gratitude is for our own benefit. People sometimes have a tendency to avoid expressing their gratitude, because somehow doing so makes them feel diminished. Their egos do not allow them to acknowledge that they are beholden to others. In order to counteract this tendency, the Torah repeatedly emphasizes the importance of expressing thanks. Indeed, the Hebrew word for gratitude is hakaras hatov, acknowledgment of the favor. Acknowledgment is the key, regardless of whether the benefactor is another person or an inanimate river. The tendency to ingratitude, the commentators explain, is one of the major obstacles to a close relationship with the Creator. A person whose ego does not allow him to acknowledge his own limitations and needs will not recognize the limitless presence of the Creator in the world. Only by becoming conditioned to express gratitude at every appropriate occasion, to acknowledge dependency on others, can a person break out of the ego- driven illusions of self-sufficiency and gain a clear vision of the world. This knowledge and humble acceptance is the first step towards connecting with the Master of the Universe. A great sage was having dinner with one of his young disciples in a hotel dining room. “The owner of this hotel is a fine person,” remarked the sage. “Look at this dinner he prepared for us. And the service!” “Well, what do you expect?” said the young disciple. “He is getting paid very well for it.” “Naturally, he has to get paid,” said the sage. “He has expenses, you know. That’s the only reason he takes our money. But he is such a considerate, wonderful host.” “He takes more than to cover expenses,” the young man persisted. “He make quite a tidy profit here.” “Of course, he makes a profit,” said the sage. “Otherwise, how is he to support his family? Nonetheless, he is such a warm host. But you, my young friend, have thought of every which way to avoid being grateful to him. Do you why? Because you are afraid that acknowledging the good in others may make you indebted to them and thereby diminished. But the opposite is true. Recognizing the good in others makes you a better person.” In our own lives, we must never underestimate the importance of expressing gratitude and appreciation to others. We must recognize every good turn that is done for us, and we must declare our acknowledgement in no uncertain terms. We owe it not only to our benefactors but to ourselves even more. A person wise enough to thank the doorman for opening the door is exalted enough to be in touch with eternity.     Legacy, Copyright &copy 2010 by Rabbi Naftali Reich and Torah.org.

The Sign of the Messiah Online - The Teaching Every Messianic Should See, Lest They Give In To Anti-Missionary's!!!

It's been a long time coming, but finally I have a good copy of The Sign of the Messiah online.  It is also available for purchase!!! (it will soon be added to the market place)  Many of you are familiar with the teaching of the Sign of the Messiah through the Torah lessons.  Now RTM has an 83 minute DVD quality teaching on the web site.  This is THE teaching that sets the record straight concerning whether or not Yeshua is the Messiah!  Many of you have seen the presentation.  If you have not, I strongly encourage you to view/listen.  Many Messianics are denying Yeshua as the Messiah simply because they cannot find Him in the Torah/Tanakh.  This teaching proves to anyone who is willing to listen that Yeshua is the Messiah.  It is unique in that it presents a Messianic paradigm from the Torah!  That's right.  We go to the Torah and discover what it says about the Messiah.  We prove beyond a shadow of doubt that the death, burial and resurrection of Yeshua in three days is the most prophesied event concerning the Messiah in the Torah as well as the entirety of the Tanakh.  If, after reading the last sentence you're thinking, "How does the Tanakh teach about death, burial and resurrection in three days?" then this teaching is for you.  Please view this teaching and pass the link on to anyone who is struggling with Yeshua being the Messiah.  It's free!  In fact, help me by e-mailing the link to any and all of your friends.  

The video is located here...

The Sign of the Messiah

It is also now a major link on my homepage.  Get the word out!  You can help.  View it, then send it with your recommendation.  Especially send it to people struggling with the Messiahship of Yeshua.

The Restoration of Torah Ministries’ Think Tank

 Strictly speaking, a think tank is an organization, institute, corporation, or group that conducts research. The term think tank itself, however, was originally used in reference to organizations that offered military advice, most notably the RAND Corporation, formed originally in 1945. Until around 1970, there were no more than several dozen think tanks, mostly focused on offering non-partisan policy and military advice to the United States government, and generally with large staffs and research budgets. After 1970, the number of think tanks exploded, as many smaller think tanks were formed to express various partisan, political, and ideological views. Some of you may be familiar with many of the conservative (and liberal) think tanks around.

Well, RTM doesn’t have a “large staff and research budget,” neither does it give military advice to the US governmnet. So, what is the RTM Think Tank?

It’s a web page devoted to presenting you with cutting edge thematic research of the scriptures. If you have studied the Torah lessons on this site (The Parashat HaShavuah Link) then you know that Adonai has arranged His eternal Words thematically. Furthermore, you've seen many examples of how themes converge to teach many, many truths. Well, I'd like to follow-up by presenting you with more studies designed to show you how the scriptures come alive when you begin to make thematic connections! These are fresh revelations not covered in the Torah lessons. You will find teachings devoted to uncovering some of the staggering number of chiastic structures and parallelisms found in the Word. But we don't stop at uncovering them. We will examine them for their theological content. These studies will 1) enhance your understanding of the scriptures and help you learn how to apply principles of thematic study. The ThinkTank is located at the following link...  The RTM Messianic Think Tank

The Scroll of the Gospel of David - Discovering a prophecy of the death, burial and resurrection of Yeshua in II Samuel 15:10 - 20:2

The book, The Scroll of the Gospel of David - If you have not bought a copy, I urge you to consider doing so. This book is an amazing source of Messianic information from an "Old Testament" perspective. There are very few sources that make such extensive use of the Tanakh (Old Testament) to prove that Yeshua is the Messiah. The Scroll of the Gospel of David is one such source. It is a practical application of what you learn each week during the Torah lessons you study from RTM. Again, if you don't have a copy...Get One! You will not be disappointed! If you would like, you can purchase The Scroll of the Gospel of David. Just go to the following web page . . .

The Scroll of the Gospel of David

 . . . and you will find instructions on where to purchase. It is an 8 1/2 x 11 inch paperback book that sells for 18.00 + shipping and handling. It can be shipped throughout the world.
