Good Shabbos from your Seasons family 💜 Here's a short Torah thought you can share at your table.

Infinite Ascents

‎וַיְהִי מִמָּחֳרָת וַיֵּשֶׁב מֹשֶׁה לִשְׁפֹּט אֶת הָעָם וגו': (שמות יח:יג)
On the day following [Moses’ descent from Mount Sinai], Moses sat to judge the people. Exodus 18:13

When our spiritual lives seem to flow smoothly, we may think that we have overcome the challenges of life and can sit back and relax. For the proper response to this sentiment, we need only look at Moses’ example. While on Mount Sinai, Moses reached the peak of spirituality, yet, as soon as he rejoined the people, he plunged directly into his new task of judging the cases that the people brought before him.

Similarly, even when it feels as though we have reached the pinnacle of holiness, there is still tomorrow – when, like Moses, we should set our sights even higher.1

Embracing Spiritual Challenges

‎וּפַרְעֹה הִקְרִיב וגו': (שמות יד:י)
Pharaoh drew near. Exodus 14:10

The Midrash offers another interpretation: By chasing them, Pharaoh drew the Jews nearer to G‑d, as evidenced by their crying out to Him when they saw the Egyptian army approaching. Indeed, it is often opposition that awakens our deepest reserves of energy.

When we are confronted with a challenge, we should view it as an opportunity for spiritual growth rather than try to avoid it. Comfort and contentment can cause us to lose sight of priorities, weakening our sense of urgency in our Divine mission. Physical or spiritual adversity can shock us out of this indifference, undermining our self-assurance and affording us the opportunity to advance in our relationship with G‑d by breaking through the obstacle.1

Never Too Late

‎כִּי אִם מָאֵן אַתָּה לְשַׁלֵּחַ אֶת עַמִּי הִנְנִי מֵבִיא מָחָר אַרְבֶּה בִּגְבֻלֶךָ: (שמות י:ד)

[Moses said to Pharaoh,] “For if you refuse to send forth My people, I will bring locusts.” Exodus 10:4

The fact that G‑d warned Pharaoh that he would be punished for not obeying Moses’ demand means that the door to repentance was still open. True, G‑d had made Pharaoh stubborn, but that just meant that it was difficult for him to repent. Had Pharaoh summoned the inner strength to listen to his conscience, he still could have let the Jews go and spared himself and his country the impending ruin.

The lessons for us are as follows: First, no matter how estranged we may feel from G‑d, even if it seems as though G‑d has shut the door on us, nothing can resist our sincere efforts to return to Him. The apparent estrangement exists only in order to inspire us to summon a deeper, more powerful resolve.

Second, no matter how far another person may seem to have strayed from G‑d, we must never despair of him. With true love and friendship, we can encourage him to mend his ways, and with G‑d’s help he will come back to his true, inner self.1

Combining Mercy and Severity

‎וַיְהִי בָרָד וְאֵשׁ מִתְלַקַּחַת בְּתוֹךְ הַבָּרָד כָּבֵד מְאֹד וגו': (שמות ט:כד)
The hail was very heavy, with flashing lightning in the midst of the hail. Exodus 9:24

Water and fire derive from and express the Divine attributes of mercy and severity, respectively. Thus, the uniqueness of the plague of hail was its blend of ice and fire, Divine mercy and severity. Similarly, although this was a particularly severe plague, as indicated by the harsh warning preceding it, this very warning included merciful instructions how to avert it.

Only G‑d can override nature and combine fire and ice. In the same way, it is only by rising above our natural limitations and connecting ourselves to G‑d that we can be both strict and merciful at the same time – both for our own benefit and for the benefit of others.1

Jewish Identity

‎ֵלֶּה שְׁמוֹת בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל הַבָּאִים מִצְרָיְמָה וגו': (שמות א:א)
These are the names of the sons of Israel who came to Egypt. Exodus 1:1

The Jews’ physical exile was their forced slavery; their spiritual exile was their psychological enslavement to their host’s culture. Although many Jews assimilated because of their exile, others struggled to retain their Jewish identity, refusing to give up their Jewish names and language because of their faith in their destiny.

It was only after revealing their inner identity in response to the challenge of exile that the Jewish people could receive the Torah. The purpose of the Torah is to teach us how to bring Divine consciousness into the most mundane aspects of life, even those that initially oppose G‑dliness. In exile, the Jewish people learned how to overcome even these forces.

The same applies to our present exile: holding on tenaciously to our traditions – even those that appear to be unimportant – will hasten our redemption. The challenges that we overcome purify and prepare us for the exalted Divine revelations that will accompany the imminent, final Redemption.1

Transcending and Transforming
‎וַיִּשְׁלָחֵנִי אֱלֹקִים לִפְנֵיכֶם לָשׂוּם לָכֶם שְׁאֵרִית בָּאָרֶץ וגו': (בראשית מה:ז)

[Joseph told his brothers,] “G‑d sent me ahead of you to ensure that you survive in [this] land.” Genesis 45:7

It was impressive that Joseph maintained his holiness in exile, but his primary achievement was that he increased holiness in the world, by teaching the Egyptians about G‑d. Joseph’s example gives us the strength to follow in his footsteps, by first remaining immune to the negativity of exile and then by transforming it into holiness.1

Hospitality vs. Austerity

וַיֹּאמֶר לַאֲשֶׁר עַל בֵּיתוֹ . . . וּטְבֹחַ טֶבַח וְהָכֵן כִּי אִתִּי יֹאכְלוּ הָאֲנָשִׁים בַּצָּהֳרָיִם: (בראשית מג:טז)
[Joseph] said to the overseer of his household, “Have animals slaughtered and prepared, for these men will dine with me.” Genesis 43:16
Hospitality requires that hosts try their best to care for all their guests’ needs. Even if they are not sure that the guests will partake of what is prepared for them, the hosts should nevertheless provide abundantly for them.

Similarly, although living frugally is a value found in the Torah, it is one we should impose on ourselves, not on others. When we think about providing for a poor family, for example, we should not provide them with only their bare necessities, but with enough to allow them to live according to a dignified standard of living.1

Here’s a quick Parsha thought for you to share at your Shabbos table:

Avoiding Negativity
‎וְהַבּוֹר רֵק אֵין בּוֹ מָיִם (בראשית לז:כד)
The pit was empty of water. Genesis 37:24
Allegorically, the pit represents the human mind and water represents the Torah. This incident thus tells us that the surest way to keep our mind free of “snakes and scorpions” – negative and destructive notions – is to ensure that it is always full of Torah-related content, for “G‑d’s Torah is wholesome, restoring the soul.”1
