Parashas Bo

Harav Hagaon Yaakov Moshe Katz Shlita

The Shelah brings down from the Arizal the principle that ื”ืงืจื™ืื” ืžืขื•ืจืจืช ืืช ื”ื–ืžืŸ โ€” whatever happens in the parashah is not just ancient history, but is very likely to recur during that week. The Shelah also cites the Arizalโ€™s insight that these weeks are called โ€œShovavimโ€ because they are designated as a time for us to return to the level of our forefathers, a time of teshuvah.

Some people think that teshuvah is something thatโ€™s only for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, and the rest of the year, they can do whatever they want. But the Arizal is revealing to us that there are auspicious times for teshuvah during the year.

The apex of Shovavim is Parashas Bo, because that is when Klal Yisrael actually left Mitzrayim. This is an extremely auspicious time for each person to go out of his individual Mitzrayim. What does it mean to go out of your Mitzrayim?

We know that Galus Mitzrayim had two aspects: the physical subjugation, and the spiritual exile. Similarly, the galus we re in now has two aspects, and the primary one is the spiritual aspect. We all have our nisyonos; weโ€™re so busy in life, running to make a parnassah and to take care of the physical needs of Olam Hazeh, so we have very little time to think about Olam Haba, and thereโ€™s a big disconnect.

But thereโ€™s a time that has the power for a person to go out of his galus. Halevai that would mean going out to the Beis Hamikdash and the geulah, but even if that is not possible, there are times when a person has the ability to lift himself up from the galus and be zocheh to romemus, to connect with Hashem on a much higher level.

Parashas Bo is a very auspicious time for that, particularly during this period, when we feel the pangs of Ikvesa dโ€™Meshicha. We donโ€™t know how long they will last, but we definitely see signs that this is a time to be nisโ€™orer and elevate ourselves.

How can we do that?

At the beginning of the parashah, Rashi notes that during Makkas Choshech, many Yidden died โ€” those who were not worthy of geulah. The Midrash explains that these were people who were living very comfortably; even though the Yidden had to work hard, some people had it better, and had nicer homes and more comfortable lives, so they werenโ€™t running to leave Mitzrayim. Those were the people who died in Makkas Choshech.

R’ Chatzkel Levenstein points out that we would think the ones who died were the reshaโ€™im, the ones who did terrible aveiros, and the ones who went out were the tzaddikim, who did only mitzvos. But we see from the Midrash that this was not the case. Indeed, Chazal teach that before Krias Yam Suf, the malachim protested, ื”ืœืœื• ืขื•ื‘ื“ื™ ืขื‘ื•ื“ื” ื–ืจื” ื•ื”ืœืœื• ืขื•ื‘ื“ื™ ืขื‘ื•ื“ื” ื–ืจื” โ€” how are they different from one another? Similarly, the Arizal teaches that the Yidden were at the forty-ninth level of tumah in Mitzrayim; many of them didnโ€™t even want to perform bris milah. We see, then, that Klal Yisrael was not on a high level; many of them worshipped idols and did other aveiros. So why were some zocheh to leave Mitzrayim while others were not?

Do You Want to Leave?

R’ Chatzkel explains that the Midrash is teaching us that the difference between those who went out and those who didnโ€™t is that the ones who merited to leave were the ones who wanted to go out. They wanted to change, they wanted to live on a higher level, with greater connection to Hashem. True, they werenโ€™t on such a high level โ€” they had fallen to the forty-ninth level of tumah โ€” but they wanted to leave, they wanted to lift themselves up. The ones who died in Makkas Choshech were those who were comfortable with life as it was. They were very busy, and had no time to yearn or to think.

This is a great lesson for us regarding how we can improve during this week of Parashas Bo, so that we can go out of our own Mitzrayim. The first step is to have a strong ratzon to live on a higher level, a more meaningful level, and lift ourselves up from the yoke of Olam Hazeh, which weighs us down so heavily, like the enslavement in Mitzrayim. This form of bondage that we are experiencing takes over our emotions. To be zocheh to the geulah, which is a higher connection to Hashem, we have to want to live on a higher level and move away from the shibud of our exile among the goyim.

So step number one is to have the desire and yearning to leave galus.

Step number two is do an action, to make some kabbalah. This week, Parashas Bo, let us declare, โ€œI want to go out of my Mitzrayim! I want to live on a higher level of kedushah and dveikus baShem!โ€ Every person can assess whatโ€™s in his capability to do, and try to make a step of teshuvah to show Hashem, โ€œI want to go up a step!โ€

Let us make a suggestion that is shaveh lechol nefesh, based on the first perek of Mesillas Yesharim: to better understand what life is all about and what weโ€™re here for. There are so many people who daven by rote, as if itโ€™s just a procedure they have to carry out. The same is true of learning; people think, โ€œEveryone does it, Iโ€™m part of the crowd.โ€ That kind of learning and davening is not on a deep level, and such ruchniyus lacks deep feeling and meaning. Now is a time when we can make a change in this regard.

Slaughtering Olam Hazeh

Parashas Bo describes how the Yidden took sheep for the Korban Pesach, even though sheep was the Egyptian avodah zarah, and slaughtered it: ืžึดืฉึฐืื›ื•ึผ ื•ึผืงึฐื—ื•ึผ ืœึธื›ึถื. Itโ€™s time for us, too, to figuratively kill that sheep, by making a huge change in our outlook on life and strengthening ourselves in the first perek of Mesillas Yesharim. As the Ramchal writes, no one is completely happy in Olam Hazeh. There are so many people who are suffering, or ill, or experiencing agmas nefesh, that this world cannot possibly be the ultimate purpose. And indeed, there is a much greater purpose: Olam Haba. This world is merely a corridor to Olam Haba, which is the ikar, and there it is going to be so good, better than anything we can imagine in Olam Hazeh. There we will experience the fulfillment of ื•ึผืžึธื—ึธื” ื”’ ื“ึดึผืžึฐืขึธื” ืžึตืขึทืœ ื›ึธึผืœ ืคึธึผื ึดื™ื, and there wonโ€™t be any more pain or distress. It will be a whole different world โ€” but you have to work to get there. You have to think about it, and you have to invest in it.

The more you invest, the more youโ€™ll make it happen. As they say, the future is in your hands โ€” your Olam Haba is in your hands, and no one else can make it happen.

This is a way for us to begin moving out of the galus we are in, which has really overtaken us. We are so busy with Olam Hazeh pursuits โ€” which car we drive, what kind of food we eat, where weโ€™re vacationing, how weโ€™re earning money. This takes over our life, and we forget what weโ€™re really here for.

So letโ€™s try to be nisโ€™orer together, and resolve that we want to rise above that. We want to go out of galus! We want a better and higher life! We want to be in a more special place! Thatโ€™s the first step โ€” the build that ratzon inside, on a deep level. Then, we should try to make a kabbalah of something we can do to go out of the galus, by investing more in our ruchniyus and in our real future. It can be a chizuk in Torah, in tefillah, in middos โ€” each person according to what he needs to do.

If we take this step out of galus, then Hashem should give us siyatta dโ€™Shmaya. Every Yid should do a little bit, on his level, and cultivate that ratzon to grow, so that he can be zocheh to go out of the darkness of his galus. Then all these efforts should join together, so we can all go together to a much more beautiful future, where no one can harm us, kill us, or torture us. We should all merit the geulah, together.
