The point of yetzias Mitzrayim, that is the miracles of the 10 makos, is to internalize them to serve as the underlying motivation for our total commitment for serving Hashem.  Stemming from our gratitude to Him and recognizing His complete sovereignty over the universe and all its powers.  Make use of these sedros to be inspired.

Have a wonderful Shabbos.

Parshas Voaira (5770)
by Mordechai Dolinsky

This week I will share something very deep with you.  6:28 the pasuk is relating something which in the simplicity of the text is not apparent.  Hashem communicated to Moshe Rabeinu something which in light of their oneness cannot be revealed.  The Mesilas Yesharim in the last chapter of the sefer revealed that a level can be reached that the tzaddik becomes one with Hashem.  The pasuk reveals this that we should know this and strive for it.

We should be worthy to see the redemption of Klal Yisroel bikarov.  Have a wonderful Shabbos and a redeeming month.

Parshas Shmos (5770)

The most awesome, shocking issue of our sedra is that despite the life-saving contribution Klal Yisroel gave the Egyptians they imposed upon us a historically radical manifestation of extreme wicked slavery.

When we mistakenly admire the mentality and the way of life of the goyim the Divine plan causes them to deal with us in an irrational manner. How relevant this lesson is for all generations and especially for today.

Have a wonderful Shabbos.

Parshas Vayechi (5770)

Yaakov Avinu gives a unique bracha to his progeny, the heads of the shevatim, according to their unique qualities and character traits.  Every moment of our lives and existence has eternal significance.  Our greatest prayer for ourselves and blessing to others is that we should harness and make use of the G-d given unique qualities given to us to achieve the ultimate purpose for which we were placed on this earth.

Have a wonderful, fulfilling Shabbos.

Parshas Mikaitz – zos Chanukah (5770)
by Mordechai Dolinsky

The key to everything is to connect with Hashem, our Creator, and to commit ourselves to His Will.  This was the essence of the success and the significance of the Hashmonaim, this is the essence of the significance of Rosh Chodesh and the true secret of success of Yosef HaTzaddik.  Let us all cry to Hashem for the true fulfillment of this and to bring the ultimate of success for ourselves and blessings for ourselves and the Redemption for all Klal Yisroel.

A freilichen and fulfilling Chanukah, a Chodesh of bracha and a wonderful Shabbos

Vayishlach Yaakov—Yaakov sent actual angels, powerful, spiritual emisarries to deal with Esav.  This is the name and the theme of the parsha.  It is imperative for us to realize that even to this very day we have accessibility to this power through the auspices of fulfilling the Will of Hashem.  So pertinent.  So pertinent

Have a wonderful Shabbos.

Parshas Vayaitzai (5770)

After Eisav having gone astray, Yaakov had to bring to the surface the Eisav side that he had within him and assume the responsibility of the new role.  When he rolled the stone, having arrived at Charan, he was showing that he had that strength.  Likewise his working for Lavan all those years he exhibited this side.  Lavan was hoping to bring this out more by presenting him with Lea who was really meant for Eisav hoping that their offspring would manifest the wicked and the wrong.  Yaakov harnessed this power for the epitome of good and produced Klal Yisroel.

Until this very day we must harness these tendencies for good.

Have a wonderful Shabbos.

In the episode of Eliezer’s endeavor to find a zivug for Yitzchok and thus the foundation of Klal Yisroel on one hand it appears smooth.  However, with greater observation one can observe the subtle attempts of Lavan to sabotage.  Such a significant message today to be sensitive to the subtle  destructive forces around us.

Have a wonderful Shabbos and a redeeming Chodesh.

Avraham Avinu, the founder of Klal Yisroel centered in fulfilling his true purpose of being in this world.  How much we must pray to Hashem for Divine assistance to be guided for the insight of the manifestation of the essence of the purpose of our coming into this world.  It is the greatest blessing we can give each other and it is the important tefilah we can ask Hashem for.

Have a wonderful Shabbos.
