In times of calamity and danger,there will often be a few whostep forward to protect and save

others, even at the risk of their ownlives. In times of war, such individu-als are often awarded the Medal ofHonor. Their actions are so self-less,their protection of their fellow sol-diers so great that the nation pausesto recognize their special actions inthe saving of lives.

We recall how in the midst of9/11 as thousands ran down the stairsof the World Trade Center buildings,scores of “first responders” went upthe stairs to assist others in the evac-uation. When the buildings subse-quently collapsed, these firstresponders perished, but not beforesaving the many thousands who wereable to leave the buildings with theirhelp. Almost every war and majorbattle, nearly every natural disaster,and each man-made calamity yieldstories of exceptional courage andbravery. In dangerous times, a band

of special individuals often step for-ward to go “beyond the call of duty”to protect the safety of their fellowmen and women.

A band of 300 brave souls, in ro-tating shifts of 50, have remained be-hind at the Japanese nuclear plant todo what they can to keep the disasterfrom getting worse. They haveworked tirelessly and without regardto their own safety to try to restorethe cooling systems of the various re-actors to prevent a full melt-down ofthe reactor cores. They have donetheir best to keep the radioactive re-leases into the atmosphere to a mini-mum. If they can succeed inconnecting electricity to the coolingsystem, they can prevent the need foradditional hundreds of thousands ofJapanese from being forced fromtheir homes 20 or more miles fromthe reactors.

So great is the danger, I have read,that these workers can often onlywork 15 minutes at a time. Even with

precautions, many have been exposedto radioactive water that has seepedinto their boots and protective gear.These workers are well aware of thedangers, and yet they have not lefteven though they know that they facethe horrors of radioactive poisoningand the various cancers triggered byradioactivity. They know their deathsare certain, and yet they remain. Theysee themselves as the last line of de-fense in protecting a whole nationagainst the increasing dangers posedby the damaged reactors.

While some step forward in timeof crisis in self-less, courageous ways,it seems only natural that others shirkaway from danger. When I was aNavy Chaplain at Camp Pendleton,among the units I served was a smallunit that consisted of those who hadfled from Vietnam during the Viet-nam War in the face of danger.When these Marines had been or-dered to the battle front, they ranaway rather than fight. Charged with

.D.


Unauthorized Absence(going AWOL, absent with-out leave), these Marineswere either captured by thegovernment or turned them-selves in after the conclusionof the Vietnam hostilitiesand faced court martial andprison time. While somestep forward in extraordinaryways when faced with dan-ger, others turn and run.Most of the time, the fewwho run don’t affect the out-come of a battle or war.Some of the time, a singlebrave and courageous indi-vidual going beyond the callof duty will save an entirebattalion, even an entiretown or city. The 300 bravesouls who remain at thedamaged nuclear plant maybe saving an entire nation.

What causes one man orwoman to run and anotherman or woman to step for-ward in extraordinary ways?What triggers heroism insome brave souls. We don’tknow the psychologicalprocesses that lead to seem-ingly irrational fearless be-havior by some. Is theremore than a little craziness ina person who puts aside hisor her own safety to saveothers?

The special courage thatsaves lives has been the sub-ject of fictional stories ormovies. Who can forget theBruce Willis character in themovie Armageddon who iswilling to land on an asteroidbound for a collision withearth to trigger a bombwhich will send the asteroidaway from direction of the

earth, saving the people ofthe earth. We even have anentire literature of super he-roes who are uniquely specialin their ability to save trainsfrom colliding and individu-als from other means of cer-tain death. But in each majordisaster or war, we have reg-ular human beings who maylack the powers of a Spider-man or Superman or WonderWoman but yet are able toreach supernatural courageand heroism.

The State of Israel hasbeen blessed with extraordi-nary men and women whohave been able to go behindenemy lines to plot againstIsrael’s enemies leading tovictorious battles. Americahas been similarly blessedwith individuals who tookthe fire of enemies so thattheir fellow soldiers could es-cape and the battles could bewon.

The bravery of policeand fire fighters is known farbeyond the events of 9/11.Even regular citizens oftenserve to save so many others,only to lose their own lives inthe end. I remember thecrash into the Potomac Riverof a jet that had just takenoff from what was thencalled National Airport. Anunknown man going past ona nearby bridge just dove intothe river after witnessing thejet break apart in the river’swaters. This unknown herobrought person after personto the safety of ropes from arescue helicopter. When hehad finished saving virtuallyall of the passengers who

had been tossed into the river by thecrash, this exhausted unnamed herolost his strength and sunk beneath theriver current losing his own life.Dozens of individuals from the jetwho had seemed sure to perish weresaved by this one man who did nothave to stop and certainly did nothave to dive into the frigid waters ofthe Potomac that day. But thank G-dthat such an individual came forward!

We don’t yet know the outcomeof the nuclear tragedy in Japan. Butwe do know of the 300 brave workerswho did not leave, but rather havegiven themselves up to almost certain

death to save a country. With the work of these 300 work-

ers, less radioactivity has escaped intothe atmosphere. The evacuation ra-dius of those forced to leave homehas remained at about 18 miles fromthe plant, instead of stretching tomany more miles and hundreds ofthousands of additional other poten-tial victims.

In the face of the tragic loss oflife, we say “Baruch Dayan Ha-Emet,” Blessed is the True Judge. Wealso say thanks to G-d for blessing uswith the extraordinary people He cre-ated who give up their own safety so

that others can be safe. Through theuniquely special people who step for-ward at such times of needs, we real-ize the true beauty of G-d’s createdworld where we are blessed with thepower to choose to be courageousand so strong. Thank G-d for thosewho step forward in time of need.

If it is true that one who saves asingle life is like one who saves the en-tire world, then those who save an en-tire nation are like those who save anentire universe.

Thank G-d for such heroes.

Parshas Met-zora dealswith the pu-

rification process of the person af-flicted with tzora'as. After the diseasehealed, the formerly afflicted personis instructed to bring a sacrifice thatincludes two very diametrical items."And he shall take two birds, cedar wood,crimson thread and hyssop (Leviticus14:4)." The Torah details the offeringand all of its intricacies, leaving thecommentaries to ponder the symbol-ism of the wood of the tallest oftrees bound together with the lowlymoss of the hyssop.

Rashi explains that, "the hyssop sym-bolizes the humility that the metzora shouldhave," and the cedar," he explains, "isa symbolic reminder that he who holds him-self as high as the cedar tree should learnto lower himself like the hyssop."

However, wouldn't hyssop aloneteach us this characteristic or at leastsymbolize humility? What point isthere in bringing cedar? And, in fact,if bringing moss represents the needfor humility couldn't the offering ofcedar represent the need for pride?Perhaps there is another explanationfor the two attributes to be joined.

A few years after Rabbi ShneurKotler succeeded his late father RebAhron as the Rosh Yeshiva of theLakewood Yeshiva, the Yeshiva's en-rollment began to expand. No longerwas Reb Shneur able to sit and studyin the large Yeshiva all day. He wassuddenly forced to raise funds day inand day out often leaving early in themorning and returning home waypast midnight.

A brief respite was the annual convention of Agudath Is-rael at which nearly 1000 laymen and rabbinical leaderswould gather for a long weekend to discuss the state ofTorah affairs.

My grandfather, Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetzky, the oldestmember of the Council of Torah Sages would often high-light the keynote session on Saturday night. As the eldest ofthe world's Torah sages, Reb Yaakov would find a way tosneak up to the dais, usually through a back door, to avoidhaving the entire crowd arise upon seeing his presence as isrequired by Jewish Law. Yet this year things were different.Reb Yaakov engaged the much younger, Reb Shneur in con-versation outside the large ballroom and waited until every-one took his or her seats. Then he took Reb Shneur by thehand and said, "I think it is time we took our seats." Heproudly held Reb Shneur by the arm and escorted him tothe dais as the throng of people rose in awe.

Reb Shneur, stunned by Reb Yaakov's departure from histrademark humility asked him why he did not go throughthe back as was his usual custom.

"Reb Shneur," he explained, "your Rebbitzen (rabbi's wife)is sitting in the auditorium . The entire year she sees you ina much-dishonored light. You run from donor to donor inorder to keep the Yeshiva open, you have hardly any time toprepare your lectures, and all she sees are people knockingon your door with their problems. Yet she stands beside youfaithful and unwavering. It is time that she sees that you geta little kavod (honor).

Rabbi Yitzchak Meir of Gur (1799-1866) explains thatsometimes people become so humbled to the point of for-getting that they can actually achieve wonderful accomplish-ments. Often, humility breeds self-effacement that may leadto despair. Of course Rashi is correct in explaining that thosewho are haughty as the cedar must humble themselves asmass, but one must also bear in mind an equally importantfact - that at times after one has been humiliated as low asthe hyssop he must rise in his own eyes to the height of acedar and proudly exclaim that he can and will accomplishthe lofty and far reaching goal to which he or she aspires.And those are goals that only the cedar's limbs can touch.

So, perhaps the lowly hyssop must be bound with a seem-ingly mismatched and more supercilious counterpart, thecedar. Because when they are offered hand-in-hand, theymay have a lot to learn from each other. •

Editor's note: This is an old Jewish story/joke/metaphor. Versionsabound. My favorite is Tuvia Bolton's rendition:

There were once two beggars who used to go aroundbegging together. One was Jewish and the other agentile. As the night of Passover approached, the

Jewish beggar offered to help his non-Jewish friend get in-vited to a seder (the festive Passover meal accompanied bymany commandments and rituals) and get a good meal. "Justput on some Jewish clothes and come with me to the syna-gogue. Everyone brings home poor guests for the seder. It'seasy, you'll see."

The non-Jewish beggar happily agreed. On the first nightof Passover they went to the synagogue, and sure enough,both got invited to different homes for the festive ceremony.

Hours later they met in a predetermined place in the localpark. But to the amazement of the Jewish beggar, his friendwas blazing mad.

"What did you do to me?" He shouted. "You call that ameal? It was torture!! It was hell! I'll pay you back for this--you'll see..."

"What do you mean? What happened?" the Jew asked.

"What happened? As if you didn't know! You Jews arecrazy--that's what happened! First we drank a glass of wine.

I like wine, but on an empty stomach... My head started spin-ning a bit but I figured that any second we would begin themeal. The smell of the food from the kitchen was great.Then we ate a bit of parsley. Then they started talking, andtalking, and talking. In Hebrew. All the time I'm smiling andnodding my head as if I understand what they're saying--likeyou told me to--but my head is really swimming and hurtingfrom the wine and I'm dying of hunger.

"The smell of the food from the kitchen is making me in-sane, but they don't bring it out. For two hours they don'tbring anything out! Just talking, and more talking. Then, justwhat I needed.... another cup of wine! Then we get up, washhands, sit back down and eat this big wafer called matzahthat tastes like newspaper, leaning to the left (don't ask mewhy...). I started choking, almost threw up. And then finallythey give me this lettuce, I took a big bite and wham! Mymouth was on fire. My throat! There was horseradish inside!Nothing to eat but horseradish! You guys are crazy...

"Well, I just got up and left. Enough is enough!"

"Ah, I should have told you." replied the Jew. "What ashame! After the bitter herbs is a glorious meal. You sufferedso long; you should have just held out for a few more min-utes...!"•

A seder without wine? How can it be? You ask. Everybody knows wehave to drink four cups of wine at the seder, in remembrance of thefour stages of liberation from Egyptian bondage.

Indeed so important are these four cups of wine that we make a bless-ing on each of them, while on the first cup of wine we make the kid-dush.

A seder without wine is almost unthinkable! Yet, it happened onceupon a time when a whole Jewish community had to make the sederwithout wine. This is what our story is about.

It happened many years ago, in a land ruled by a king, who was notunfriendly to the Jews. Indeed, one of his best friends was the Rabbi ofthe community, whom the king admired for his wisdom and learning,kindness and humility?

A combination of virtues he did not find among his courtiers. Theking just loved to spend time with the Rabbi, discussing matters of im-portance. And when the king had any problem, he asked the Rabbi's ad-vice, and he never had any cause for regret.

Everything would have been well, except that the king had a primeminister who was no friend of the Jews, and who was especially jealousof the friendship the king showed to the Rabbi.

One day the prime minister asked the king why he was showing suchfriendship to the Rabbi."Why not?" replied the king. "I admire his wis-dom and learning; there is nothing but kindness and fear of G-d in hisheart, and he is most loyal to me and wishes me well. He certainly de-serves my friendship!"

"What if I proved to your Majesty that the Rabbi is not all that he pre-tends to be, and that behind your Majesty's back he will not hesitate tobreak your laws, and speak unkindly of your Majesty?"

"I doubt very much if you can prove any such thing," replied the kingconfidently. "But if you do, I will know how to deal with him. On theother hand, if you fail to prove your reckless accusation, I will knowhow to deal with you. And so, my dear prime minister, how do you pro-pose to prove your accusation?"

"The day after tomorrow the Jews will begin celebrating their Passoverfestival. On the first two nights of the festival they have a special feast,a "seder" they call it, when they drink four cups of wine.

So important is wine for their seder that a Jew will gladly sell his lastshirt to be able to have wine for the seder.

Now, I suggest, your Majesty, that you command the Rabbi to tell theJews that no one, not even the Rabbi himself, shall drink any wine atthe seder. Then you will see if the Rabbi and the other Jews carry outyour order, and what they say about your Majesty"

"And how are we going to find this out?" asked the king.

"I know that before the Rabbi sits down to his own seder table, he vis-

A SEDER WITHOUT WINE

By Nissan Mindel


its the Jewish guest house, where apublic seder is arranged for the poorand homeless wandering Jews thathappen to be in town. If we disguiseourselves, it will be easy for us to jointhe crowd and witness the seder"

"So be it," the king agreed. "But Iwarn you: you are playing with yourhead!""It's my head against theRabbi's head," the prime ministerchallenged.

The following day the king sent forthe Rabbi, and when he appeared, theking said to him: "I command you totell the Jews that no one, not even you,my friend, shall drink any wine at theseder on penalty of death!"The Rabbiwas surprised and saddened, but heanswered, dutifully: "Your Majesty'scommand shall be obeyed."

True to his word, the Rabbi sent outword to all the Jews in the city: "Byorder of the king, Jews are forbiddento drink wine at the seder; but exceptfor that, the seder should be cele-brated in the usual way and with theusual joy and inspiration; and eachtime, when the Haggadah calls for thedrinking of a cup of wine, an emptycup should be lifted,and the followingprayer recited:

`Master of the World! It is revealedand known to you that we sincerelydesire to do Your Will, but his Majestythe king forbade us to drink winetonight on penalty of death. Since, ac-cording to Your holy Torah, the savingof life puts aside the mitzvah of thefour cups, we pray for Your forgive-ness for not drinking wine tonight."'

In the guest house the table was setfor the seder. For each place settingthere was a Seder Plate, with matzah,bitter herbs and the other requireditems; there were spotless wine glassesand cups, and bottles filled with redwine.

Soon the room was filled with cele-brants, who seated themselves aroundthe table. Among them were twostrangers, dressed as poorly as the rest,but since all were strangers, no onepaid any particular attention to them.Certainly it did not occur to anyonethat those two were none other thanthe king and his prime minister.

Presently the Rabbi came, and allrose respectfully in his honor. Heseated himself at the head of the tableand greeted everyone with a hearty"good Yom Tov."

The first item of the seder was, ofcourse, Kaddesh: to make kiddush onthe first of the four cups of wine. TheRabbi reminded all the guests of theking's decree. He bade them to riseand lift up empty wine glasses and re-cite after him the prayer he had com-posed for this occasion: "Master ofthe World," etc.

Everyone faithfully followed theRabbi's instructions, and the wine bot-tles were left untouched. Otherwise,the seder proceeded as joyously andinspiringly as ever.

The king and his prime minister satthrough the entire seder and heard thesame prayer repeated four times.Everyone, including the king, enjoyedthe seder meal; only one person satthere like a bereaved man amongbridegrooms, the unhappy prime min-ister.When the seder was over, theking and his prime minister left theguest house together. Before partingat the gate of the palace, the king toldhis prime minister to be sure to appearbefore him the following day in mid-afternoon.

The following morning the king senta messenger to the Rabbi to summonhim to appear before the king at midafternoon. At the appointed time theRabbi and the prime minister met at

the gate of the palace, and both wereushered in before the king.

Turning to the Rabbi, the king said:"Unknown to you, worthy Rabbi, Iand my prime minister were yourguests at the seder last night. We weredisguised, of course, and we came tosee with our own eyes if you wouldobey my order. The foolish primeminister had staked his head, assuringme that you would not.

I am happy that you did faithfullycarry out my order, though I sincerelyregret having caused you and all theJews unnecessary heartache by inter-fering with your sacred seder celebra-tion. But the prime minister shall payfor his folly. I place him in your hands:choose any kind of death for him, andit shall be done!"

"Your Majesty," the Rabbi replied,"ever since we lost our Sanctuary inJerusalem no Rabbinic court is au-thorized to pronounce a death sen-tence on anyone.""In that case," saidthe king, I shall pronounce his deathsentence: he shall be hanged publiclyforthwith!"

Then the king told the Rabbi thatthe decree prohibiting wine drinkingwas lifted, and the Rabbi could nowmake it known to all Jews that theycould again drink all the wine theywanted.

The happy news quickly spreadamong the Jews and was received withgreat jubilation. The second seder wascelebrated with extraordinary joy anddeep gratitude to the Almighty in cel-ebration, not only of the miracles andwonders of the liberation from Egypt,but also of the miracle that happenedto them in getting rid of a cruelenemy.

It was the happiest Passover thatthey had ever celebrated. •

R’ Eleazar ben Azaryah said "I am likea man of seventy years old, yet I did notsucceed in proving that the exodus fromEgypt must be mentioned every night-until Ben Zoma explained it: "It is said,`That you may remember the day youleft Egypt all the days of your life;' Thewords ̀ the days of your life' refer to thedaytimes, [and the additional word] ‘all’indicates the inclusion of the nights!"The sages said: "`The days of your life'refers to the present-day world; and ‘all’refers to [the bringing of] the days ofMoshiach." This famous passage of the Haggadahis actually a quote from the last mishnain the first chapter of Brachos, whichdiscusses the daily mitzvos of readingthe Shema and remembering the exodusfrom Egypt. Many commentaries ex-plain that this mishna isn’t recording ahalachic dispute and that all partiesagree that the exodus is to be mentionedduring the day and night, both in thepresent world as well as in the futureworld. What their discussion revolvesaround is the word Kol/All; is this wordpresent in the verse to clarify this lawabout the night, or is it there to includeeven the days of the future redemption? Why is this in the Haggadah in the firstplace? On Passover, we have a mitzvahto tell the story of the exodus fromEgypt. This mishna discusses our dailyobligation to mention the redemption,but is otherwise unrelated to Passover.The Shema is a crucial and deepest mo-ment of our prayer, where we connectdirectly to Hashem’s oneness and mas-tery over the universe. If we are men-tioning the redemption during thismoment, it is because it is at the core of

our Judaism; it has power and relevancyto our daily existence. R’ Eleazar benAzaryah is teaching that this redemptiveforce, which we mention twice everyday, is an active power in our daily livesduring the day, and at night, even in ourtimes, and according to the sages, evenin the future when we will experience aneven greater redemption.In a spiritual sense, the redemptionfrom Egypt is continuously taking placeevery moment of our lives, and willcontinue to do so. So, when we read thisMishna in the Haggadah, in the contextof Passover and the Seder, we realizethe relevance, power, magnitude and en-durance of the redemption from Egyptand the miracles that occurred at thattime.When did R’ Eleazar ben Azaryah saythis? The Talmud relates that R’ Elazarben Azarya was appointed and theleader and prince of the Jewish peoplewhen he was only eighteen years old. Toshow his worthiness for the position agreat miracle occurred, and overnight hegrew a long grey beard. It was on thisday that he said : "I am like a man ofseventy years old…” Why did R’ Elazar ben Azarya merit tosay this teaching, and why did he do iton this particular day?Surely R’ Elazar ben Azarya knew all ofour laws and customs, and of course heknew that every Jew is obligated tostudy as much Torah as possible, butthat which is relevant to him takesprecedence. For example, if one canchoose to study the laws of the redheifer or the laws of kashrus or Shab-bos observance, being that there is animmediate need to know how to prop-

Pesach -

From RedemptionTo Redemption

By Rabbi Wolf


erly observe Shabbos and keep kosher,these laws should be learned first; wehave to know what we are to be doing.So, if R’ Elazar ben Azarya was ap-pointed to the leadership on that day, hemust have studied the parts of the Torahthat were applicable to him assumingthis tremendous responsibility. How didthis teaching relate to his new position?Mystically, exile in Egypt is akin to beingin a state of constriction and limitation.We all have boundaries and limits to ourabilities, understanding and desires; weare born this way. Each soul is simply apiece of G-d taken from the limitlessand immeasurable divinity in Heavenand thrown into a physical body downhere on Earth. Besides for all of theaches and pains that we might sufferduring a lifetime, even more traumatic toa soul is the shock and isolation thatcomes as a result of being separatedfrom unconcealed and limitless G-dli-ness and spirituality. Perhaps even worse than the separationand yearning to reconnect with G-d, thesoul is forced to spend the majority ofher time in mundane activity. Just tomaintain even the most basic physicallife requires that a person sleep, eat andtoil for livelihood. All of this necessarytime is spent at the expense of the soul’sonly desire, which is for Torah, mitzvos,and to return to the divinity beyond.

To make matters worse, every G-dly soulis partnered with an evil inclination,often called the animal soul. A person’sevil inclination naturally works againstG-dliness. The animal within us lustsand craves for physical pleasures and de-lights, and can drive one very far fromthe path of G-dliness. It pulls us away asfar as possible from divinity and attachesus to things which are antithetical tospirituality; that is all that it understands.Even when we try to pull away fromthese things, the evil inclination can at-tack us with its powerful tools such assadness, despair, laziness or hopeless-ness.All of these factors work against us, de-spite our soul’s only true desire to recon-nect with G-d. We are taken away fromlight into darkness, and we have to strug-gle with this constantly, on a daily basis.This is our own personal exile, and eachof us has our own particular variations.Yetzias Mitzraim/The Exodus fromEgypt happens to us every day. Despitethe fact that we are all in some waytrapped, G-d empowers each and everysoul to transcend her problems andphysical limitations. A Jew is never ce-mented to Earth. We have the ability toyank ourselves out from the muck andclean up whatever mess we find our-selves in. No matter what is trying tohold us back, we can break away. More-

over, we always have the ability to growand strengthen our relationship withG-d through Torah and Mitzvos. De-spite all the demands of a physical bodyand all the disorder of the evil inclina-tion, we can still connect with G-d. Thisis the redemptive power we were grantedwhen Hashem took us out from Egypt.It remains with us constantly, and cannever be taken away from us.This Mishna teaches us that this redemp-tive power, this “exodus from Egypt,” isto be particularly remembered duringthree periods in our lives: daytime, nighttime, and during the Messianic era.Daytime is a period that is fully illumi-nated. During our lives, this is when weare fortunate to experience deep inspi-ration and connection with G-d. Heparts the veil of creation, and thewarmth of His glow spills over us andwe feel joyful, inspired and fortunate tobe alive. In these periods of great en-lightenment, we grow quickly and easily.Learning Torah and doing Mitzvos arenot chores, but an honor and a great op-portunity. Even during these moments,R’ Elazar ben Azarya teaches, we mustremember the exodus from Egypt. Weshouldn’t be satisfied with it. Despite anygreat illumination and success we feel,G-d is limitless and always far beyondthat. We must always pursue a path ofgrowth. Somewhere, there is another


aspect of constriction and limitation tomove past; tomorrow must always bebetter than today.Nighttime is when we have the oppositeexperience. It’s a time of great conceal-ment, and we feel the darkness allaround us. We become uninspired andfeel distant from G-d. We wallow in lazi-ness, depression, pain and misery, andsee failure again and again. It feels likeG-d is simply not there for us. Even dur-ing these moments we must know, R’Elazar ben Azarya says, that when G-dtook us out from Egypt he put such a re-demptive power into the world and intoour souls, there is always the spark of re-demption ready to be set ablaze. Thereis a kernel of freedom in the core of oursouls that is never taken away, even in thedeepest and darkest moments of ourlives, when we feel like we cannot breakfree.Through the first redemption, the exo-dus from Egypt, G-d gave us the powerto constantly grow, and break free fromany constriction or limitation; to throwoff darkness and express the true soul.The sages add a lesson even more noveland powerful: this power of redemptionis so lasting and strong, that even whenMoshiach comes, a time of ultimate spir-itual growth and permanent redemption,we will still acknowledge the exodus

from Egypt, and it will still be relevantto our lives.The Torah writes that the Jews “ran”away from Egypt. Why did they run?Pharaoh only wanted to let them leavefor three days; he didn’t want to com-pletely set them free. So, as soon as theyleft, they ran as fast as they could, andnever came back. Why did G-d arrangethe exodus in this way? Hashem is allknowing and all powerful! He could havearranged the Exodus as an unquestion-ably final break just as easily. Runningaway from Egypt seems to be the leastpowerful way of finalizing the Jewishpeople’s freedom. It happened this way because their phys-ical redemption mirrored their spiritualredemption. The Jews, after 210 years ofspiritual depravation, were trapped in thedarkness and servitude of Egypt. G-dappeared and cracked through the dark-ness so they could break free, and theirsouls immediately flared up and con-nected with Him. Temporarily, they werenumbed to the darkness that surroundedthem, but it wasn’t destroyed, and thepossibility of that darkness stirring onceagain and sneeking its way back intotheir lives was very real. For this reason,the Jewish people ran away as quickly aspossible. To say that Pharaoh liberated them com-

pletely would not have been true. Egyptstill had a hold on their souls (it was sim-ply dormant for the time being) and theyfled. This spiritual reality translated itselfinto the physical redemption, and there-fore Pharaoh only gave them a shortbreak, but didn’t actually emancipatethem.The imminent redemption will not occurthis way. Rather, through our Torah andMitzvos, the true goodness of every Jewwill be ignited and inspired. Slowly wechip away at the darkness and unholinessthat encompass the world and transformits essence, including every part of thehuman being - even the animal soul. Theyetzer hara itself will be drafted into theservice of Hashem, and will fully craveand lust for spirituality the way it nowchases mundane pleasures. Every part ofour lives will be transformed; all of thedarkness will be turned to light. It’s aslow process, and we don’t see it as it oc-curs, but it has been happening for thou-sands of years. The moment Moshiachcomes, and the divine light is turned onin the dark world, we will see the truthso clearly and openly, that we will run to-wards it with every fiber of our being,and there will not be a possibility foranything else. There will never be an-other exile.If this is the case, why do the sages teach

that even then, when final re-demption completely destroys alldarkness, will we need to remem-ber the exodus from Egypt? TheEgyptian redemption will seemimmature and incomplete incomparison!The unbelievable innovation ofthe sages informs us that leavingEgypt and the coming ofMoshach are really one in thesame. From G-d’s perspective,the full dosage of redemptive en-ergy, including the final redemp-tion, already manifest within theworld way back in Egypt. Fromour perspective it’s manifest instages.At first, leaving Egypt, we’re em-powered to free ourselves fromthe darkness, and to resist it. Thisdoesn’t destroy the darknesscompletely, but gives us the op-portunity to transform it to lightthrough Torah and Mitzvos. Verysoon, when Moshiach comes, thenext stage will manifest, and wewill see the truth that is alreadythere now – that G-dliness andspirituality exclusively fills reality,and it is the supreme good.This is why the sages use the ter-minology “‘all’ refers to thebringing of the days of Moshi-ach.” It is only through the re-demption of Egypt, an ongoingprocess which still empowers usthroughout our lives, which ishappening right now, that we areable to resist the darkness andcontinue preparing the world forthe imminent final redemption.R’ Eleazar ben Azaryah wasstudying on that day, preparing tobe the leader of the Jewish peo-ple, through thick and throughthin. It’s easy to see that G-d isthere for us during the daytime,to help guide us and inspire uswhen we are already ready and

open to Him. What about thenighttime? How would R’ Eleazarben Azaryah lead and inspire theJewish people when they arestruggling to do the right thing, ifG-d forbid they feel uninspiredand unmotivated? What is he try-ing to accomplish with his leader-ship? With his wisdom, he puts thespotlight on the nighttime. Hesays that even when we are strug-gling in the dark, during a longand bitter exile, when we feeluninspired and disconnected, weare still connected to redemption.Not only do we have the powerto leave Egypt and break free ofour problems and limitations, wehave an even greater power withus - the power of ultimate re-demption – which can completelyand permanently transform alldarkness into light. He connectedevery moment of our lives, nomatter where we are or what weare doing, to the ultimate re-demption. This is how R’ Eleazarben Azaryah was preparing forhis great task of connecting withand leading every Jew, elevatingthe lives of his people.Every Jewish soul is a piece ofG-d from above, and we are al-ways connected with our source.When our souls are plucked fromheaven and thrust into a bodydown here on Earth, it is only toshow our soul’s strength anddurability through thick and thin,and a soul will always find G-d nomatter how far she strays. This isthe Pesach of our lives and ourtimes, and through this recogni-tion, that every Jew is a force ofredemption, and that every mo-ment of our lives is a moment ofredemption, not a moment ofexile, may we merit seeing thefinal redemption very quickly.

The Rabbanim and gabbaim of VaadHarabbanim experienced a thrilling mo-ment during the days of Purim, in thehome of posek hador Maran HaravYosef Shalom Elyashiv, shlita, whenMaran lifted up the money for matanosle’evyonim that were donated to VaadHarabbanim, assuming the role of shali-ach for all the contributors, and thenhanded the funds to the couriers whorushed to pass the money to the recipi-ents bo bayom.

This unprecedented step taken by theposek hador, shlita, expressed his un-qualified faith in the Vaad Harabbanimcharity fund, as he knows with total cer-tainty that every penny that had beendonated to Vaad Harabbanim formatanos le’evyonim had been given tothe truly needy all over Eretz Yisrael.

And indeed, people were rubbing theireyes in disbelief. Although everyone isfamiliar with the absolute confidencethat Maran, shlita has in the VaadHarabbanim, this was still a rare occur-rence: Harav Elyashiv himself as theshaliach!

And Am Yisrael took advantage ofthis opportunity; after all, it isn’t everyday that one could merit such a thing.

As one of the great rabbanim of

Jerusalem said, “If Harav Elyashivwould tell you that he wanted to pick themost mehudar esrog for you, wouldn’tyou take it? So, too, Maran, shlita, madea point of telling us that this is the mostexemplary matanos le’evyonim there is,and he himself was going to be ourshaliach to fulfill this mitzva! Thismeans that we could be 100% sure thatwe have fulfilled the mitzva in the bestpossible fashion!”

But Am Yisrael was not alone in its ex-citement over this historic moment.Those who were present when Maran,shlita, performed the shlichus – whichhappened six different times, morning,noon, and late afternoon, over the twodays of Purim — testified that HaravElyashiv himself was excited about per-forming this role, and was deeply im-pressed by the huge sums that AmYisrael had donated to the needy of theHoly Land.

Maran was far from the only one whowas moved; other Gedolei Yisrael alsoexpressed profound emotion when theywere shown the piles of check stubsfrom the checks that were distributedon Purim, and could see the impressivesums that had been collected to savethousands of families in Eretz Yisrael.

Cheder Menachem, a Chabad Ele-mentary School, serving over 275 boysfrom ages Pre 1A through 8th Gradein the Pico Robertson area, has cham-pioned excellence in Torah Scholarshipwith an exceptional extra-curricularprogram. The Mishnayos B’Ahl PehProject, directed by Rabbi Sholom Hei-dingsfeld, has students engrossed andimmersed in Torah study from YudShevat until Yud Aleph Nissan, everyyear.

On Tanis Esther 5771, the Chederwas honored by the visit of sevenprominent Rabbonim from the LosAngeles area: R' Ezra Douek - Rav ofKehillas Ohd Yosef Chai, R YochanonHenig- Rosh Kolel Yechiel Yehuda, R'Shloime Klein - Rav of Ohr HaChayimShul, R' Daniel Korobkin - Rav of Ke-hillas Yavneh, R' Shimon Raichik - RavKehillas Levi Yitzchok Chabad, R'Chaim Boruch Rubin - Rav of EitzChaim Shul and R' Yosef Shusterman- Rav of the Chabad community andChabad North Beverly Hills.

Rabbi Mendel Greenbaum the Mena-hel of Cheder, Rabbi Mendel Gold-man a Board Member, RabbiHeidingsfeld and many Cheder Reb-bies greeted the visiting Rabbis andjoined the proceedings.

The participating six students are re-quired to demonstrate their acuity bycommitting to memory at least 10Mesechtas/Tractates.MenachemFarkash 12 – achieved an admirable ac-ademic feat by memorizing the entiresix Sedorim of Mishnayos; LeviGreenbaum 11 - Seder Moed andSeder Kodashim, Mendel Korf 13

- Seder Moed, Levi Mishulovin 11 -Mesechtas of Seder Moed, Yossi Rae-burn 9 – ten Mesechtas includingBrachos, Avos and Tractates fromSeder Moed, and Yossi Wolowik 13 –memorized Sedorim Moed, Nezikinand Kodashim.

For one hour, the Rabbonim chal-lenged the students to recite numerousMishnayos of the Sedorim, and askedquestions related to the understandingof the Mishnayos, for example: "Howmany times is R' Yosei Bar Yehudamentioned in Seder Moed and what isunique about this?" [Answer: “Twice -once he is meikil, and once he is mach-mir.”]

The Rabbonim toured the Cheder,and were presented with a Teshu-rah/Memento - a Kuntres of MegilasEsther with the Lubavitcher Rebbe’scommentary.

Program History: This year marksthe 11th annual Mishnayos Baal PehProgram - “ a Tribute in honor of theRebbe’s Birthday” - from the Chederstudents. The above-mentioned stu-dents are joined by their fellow school-mates in this school-wide effort. Todate, 9 weeks into a 12 week program,-- over 1200 prakim of Mishnayos in-cluding 135 complete Mesechtas, and4700 lines of Tanya including 90 com-plete prakim -- have been committedto memory by Cheder students. TheCheder Rebbies and Tzivos Hashemcoordinators play a major role in theenthusiasm, accomplishment and ex-citement generated by this outstandingTorah project. •

“And you should love your neighbor as yourself…”(Vayikra 19:18)

How can the Torah obligate an emotion oflove?

Rabbi Moshe Cordovero writes in Tomer De-vorah, “This is why all Jews are “guarantors onefor another” since each individual actually has aportion of everyone else, so that if one damageshimself he damages that portion of himself thatis in his friend. It follows that his friend is a guar-antor for that portion. Therefore it is fitting for aperson to desire the best for his fellow, and viewhis good fortune benevolently and cherish hisfriend’s honor as his own- for they are actuallyone in the same! For this reason we are com-manded to “love your neighbor as yourself ” andit is proper that a person should desire the well-being of his fellow and not speak ill of or wishill for him.”

Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch ztl. approachesthe same point for an etymological approach. Theword for “your neighbor”-“rayechah” finds itsroot in the same word for shepherd as it says inthe famous 23rd Psalm “HASHEM royi”-“HASHEM is my shepherd…” Curious that theTorah chose that category of personage to whomwe are obligated to demonstrate our love, RavHirsch writes, “Everyone is to find and recognizein everybody else his “mireh”- “the pasturage ofhis life”, the furthering of his own well-being, theconditions for his own well-being in life. Nobodymay look at the progress of another as a hin-drance to his own progress or look at the down-fall of another as the means for his own risingand nobody may rejoice in his own progress if itis at the expense of his neighbor’s failure…In ex-actly the same way and from the same conscious-ness of duty he directs his love to the well-beingof his neighbor, loves him as a being equally acreation of G-d, he proclaims his love of G-d byhis love of His creatures.”

Every person is our shepherd, as HASHEM isour shepherd. We are all equally vulnerable and-inter-dependant economically, socially, spiritually,and emotionally. No man is an island and thereare no victimless crimes.PARSHAS ACHAREI MOS

The Shepherd’s Shepherds


By Rabbi Label Lam • www.torah.org

The Tanna D’Bei Yishmael explains why the Jewish Peopleare compared to a sheep. Just as if any single limb of thelamb is smitten all the limbs feel it so it is with all of Israel.He offers the following parable about a group of peopletraveling on a ship. One passenger takes out a drill and be-gins to bore a hole beneath his seat. His friends say to him,“Why are you doing this?” He says back to them, “Whatdoes it matter to you? I’m only drilling under my seat!” Theyanswer him back, “You are going to cause the whole ship tosink on us!”

I heard once a story about a fellow that climbed to thepeak of some great mountain. There he was, with his tim-berland boots and backpack, alone and aloof from theworld. Like an eagle, the paradigm of arrogance accordingto the Zohar, he reveled in his achievement. He thought tohimself, “Who needs other people!? I’m king of the hill!”Just then, his glasses fell from his face and while feeling

around for them he stepped on them and crushed them. Hewas helpless and visionless without his glasses. Within ashort while he was curled up in a fetal position awaiting as-sistance.

We don’t make our own clothing or create our own foodfrom scratch daily. An intricate army called economy pro-vides for most of our daily needs. A cup of coffee is anenormously sophisticated accomplishment when we con-sider from how far coffee beans come and how water is de-livered and heat is produced and milk and sugar areprocessed and shipped. No wonder we make a Brocho,“Shehakol Nehiah B’dvaro” –“Everything comes aboutthrough His speech”. That’s just a coffee. What about all theother grandiose and subtle brands of goodness that we arethe beneficiaries of ?! To the extent that we can keep anawareness of these myriads of matters big and small, so willwe naturally love the Shepherd’s shepherds. •
