this say Rabbi Shalom
oando the sth AL there was an uncanny
almost frightening parallel in a small
episode in this Aliyah and modern-day
current events after mosa and Aon go to
par and they request to let my people go
not only do things not get easier they
get more intensely difficult because par
takes away the straw one of the most
basic components necessary to make
bricks and he still keeps the quotas and
the medage teaches us that the Jewish
people panicked they needed to come up
with the quotas or else faced very
drastic consequences and they didn't
have straw so they went to their
Egyptian neighbors those that they knew
the ones they grew up alongside and they
asked them please give us straw and the
Egyptians had an abundance of straw they
would feed it to their animals they used
it in their home for different things
there was straw everywhere and not only
did they not give it to them but they
chased them away from their homes amidst
kicks and blows
why is that says the why did that have
to happen and the says because you can
ask a simple question the makas were
terrible and it punished the collective
Egyptian people why why did they deserve
to be punished they were not part of par
decree the answer is you had the ability
to show the Jewish people mercy and
compassion and you did not then you are
part of the evil and wickedness and when
there's punishment you're going to get
your fair share my friends it's a
frightening thing to think about this in
the entire episode post October 7th and
October 7th itself there's not one
recorded incident of a single gozin of
anyone in that neighborhood showing
Mercy or compassion to the Jewish people
to the hostages to anyone letting people
go it's just cruelty and barbarism and
you know what in the broader world it's
not much better on the college campuses
in the media Outlets it's challenging
it's difficult it's frightening because
you see Messiah is coming and when
Messiah comes the Jewish people are
going to get a different reality and
those around us will be demoted and some
them will say what did I do wrong I
wasn't part of it why is this Collective
punishment the answer is because you
were part of it you could have done
something you could have spoken up and
you didn't so you are just as much part
of the problem as those people that are
making it happen my friends Gula is on
the doorstep the footsteps of mhia can
be clearly heard Hashem is setting the
stage for Redemption to a time when
Hashem will be the king and we will be
his princes and nobody will be able to
say why are we not part of it why were
we demoted my friends it's too late
