Shnayim Yomi - Vayelech - Chamishi - #5- Rabbi Ephraim Ilyaguev

[Music] Friends, we're up to fifth aliyah. The fifth aliyah. Hashem is telling us there will be time when the Jewish people will kind of go over there. They will turn their back to Hashem. They will worship idols. Things are not going to be great. And at that moment, Hashem says, "I'm going to hide my face. I'm going to pretend like I'm not paying attention and bad things are going to happen to you. On this on the I will surely hide my face. The learns out from this that how do we know Esther? Each person's name is in the Torah. You just have to know how to find it. So the Gh says when we see the name of Queen Esther in the Torah and it quotes this this and I will surely hide my faith. The word could be read as a and now during the times of a we saw that the world changed before the times of a there were prophets there was open miracles. Hashem got involved in a very very dramatic open way and we we see like when the Jewish people came out of Egypt there was 10 plagues there was splitting of the sea it was very very different kind of experience during the times of Aair it look like the politicians are running the world there's a king there's a minister there's hmon there's a all kinds of political games going on says I'm going to hide my face I'm going to pretend like I'm not here but behind the scenes I'm actually running the show. I'm going to put the Jewish queen in the palace. I'm going to make her turn the things around in a way that Morai is going to be now in charge and Hmon is Haman is going to be hanged. We see the last 2,000 years. This is exactly what's happening. There's no more open miracles. From time to time, we see like a flashlight maybe, but nothing like we saw in Egypt. Nothing like that. Everything is we're operating now in a different mode. We're operating in a in a mode of hester panim is hiding his face and through events which look natural. Hashem is taking care of our enemies. One by one we see in the last two years how many enemies of the Jewish people vanished gone executed no more here. Why? Because Hashem loves us. And fora quotes he says wherever the Jewish people go Hashem says I will be with them when you're in Galut the in galut I'm with you even though I'm hide my face but I'm with you I'm going to help you
