How Jews RISE above HATERS (Shemos)

we are going to be free man we are going to feel great we are going to be confident passionate Jews we are not going to care what anti-semites think we are not going to care what other people think we are going to be unapologetically respectfully but unapologetically Jewish so the entire generation of Yakov and his 12 children the 12 tribes who had finally made it to Egypt to be with ysep and to escape the famine that was taking place that entire generation had finally died out and at this point Pharaoh enslaves the Jewish people many of these people had been actually Born Into Slavery because the slavery lasted 210 years now this was not just a physical oppression but this was a psychological and ideological oppression they were slaves to labor in Egypt they were slaves to Egyptian ideology to the Egyptian culture to the that in fact many of the Jewish people were actually steeped into idolatry the Egyptians had served the Nile that was their idolatry especially since their sustenance came from the Nile river that was their irrigation system they worshiped their financial sustenance in fact Pharaoh instructed earlier throw every ravy boy into the Nile River steep them into that culture of it's all about the money and that money comes from work not from God the Jewish people at this point are fully indoctrinated and this is where mosha comes into play what mosha represents is the ultimate Clarity mosha was born and hidden by his mother placed into a basket into the water Pharaoh's daughter came sees Moshe floating in the river in a basket rescues him pulls him out and names him Moshe which means to draw out it's an Egyptian name this was three months after his birth Moshe was already given a name a Jewish name at Birth moshe's name was tuvia I've always found it interesting that the Torah always references Moshe by his Egyptian given name rather than his birth name by his Jewish mother why are we referencing him by an Egyptian name God addresses him as Moshe not the name that his mother gave him at Birth he's receiving the Torah at sin conversing with God face to face God calls him Moshe the name Pharaoh's daughter baa gave him to me that's something that always did not sit well until I saw two commentaries that gave really interesting Insight fono says that he's called Moshe to draw out from the water because Moshe had a calling in life to pull people out of water to pull people out of difficult situations that was his calling that was his job so he was always referred to as mosha because he's there for the people to pull them out of difficult situations to free them from slavery the alter DEA points out that water represents awareness of your true Source fish are very aware of their Source of Life they have to be in the water they know that if they exit the water they're not going to they're not going to live they don't have a a sense of full Independence but they have an awareness of where their life comes from Moshe comes from the water mosha has that full awareness that full clarity that life centers around God he is the life force of existence and Moshe had this Clarity had this spiritual Freedom thean isra asks an interesting question Moshe is the Redeemer and savior of the Jewish people yet he did not grow up in the Jewish Community mosha was not part of Jewish life he grew up in the palace because Bas saved him Pharaoh's daughter saved him he grew up in Pharaoh's home how is he the savior of the Jewish people he never even grew up with the Jewish people obviously he was committed and passionate about Jews he felt like he was part of the Jewish people but he didn't grow up there so the Ezra explains that because he grew up in a palace he grew up in a palace of Freedom he knew what Freedom was like he was able to desire that for others in fact when the Torah first introduces Moshe to us the first thing that he does that we know that he did he's walking around empathizing with people's slavery the Torah says he went to his Brethren he saw them as brothers and he saw the burden the pain that he had Rashi says that he was empathizing with with them he was putting his eyes in heart to the pain that they were going through the says a different something else what is not their burden but their tolerance he was bothered by their tolerance they were born into slavery so they were tolerating it it was okay the IDE ology of Egypt the ideology of worshiping something other than God was okay of worshiping oppression of embracing oppression as if it's just a normal part of life because you're born into it they were tolerant of this and mosha was deeply bothered by this and because that he was able to redeem the Jewish people because of the clarity of sight he had the Zohar says that every single Jew has a Moshe within every Jew has a part within themselves that has this incredible Clarity and although we at times find ourselves enslaved oppressed whether physically we're just oppressed or bogged up by trying to pay bills we're bogged up by ideology or philosophy that perhaps in our heart of hearts we don't agree with but this is just what Society demands from us social pressure but there is a part of us emotion within us that has real Clarity and understands that there's a right and there's a wrong there's a truth there's a bigger picture there's a meaning and purpose in life beyond just paying bills and Beyond the ideology of our local Society there is a motion within that has that Clarity that is there to draw us out from that water that is there to help us and save us and if we can access it we are going to be free man we are going to feel great we are going to be confident passionate Jews we are not going to care what anti-semites think we are not going to care what other people think we are going to be unapologetically respectfully but unapologetically Jewish and it's going to be beautiful if we can access that mosha the says chapter 42 that accessing this mosha essentially means knowing god that's what mosha did he got the Jewish people to know God he inspired them to know God and when we put in the effort to know God in a very deep and meaningful way pray and connect and learn and study and understand his values and understand how God is really embracing us we are going to have Inc incredible Clarity it takes work Moses's job was to feed us Faith but in Tanya says that the Hebrew word for Faith and Muna comes from the word Omen which means to train it takes training it takes work it's challenging but if we do it we are going to be free and boy it's going to be worth it that's my story and I'm sticking to it friends
