Difficulties Are a Springboard

Parashas Shemos

Harav Hagaon Yaakov Moshe Katz Shlita

 

Parashas Shemos begins with the words:ื•ึฐืึตืœึผึถื” ืฉืึฐืžื•ึนืช ื‘ึผึฐื ึตื™ ื™ึดืฉื‚ึฐืจึธืึตืœ ื”ึทื‘ึผึธืึดื™ื ืžึดืฆึฐืจึทื™ึฐืžึธื” , after which the names of the Shevatim are listed. Rashi, citing Midrash Tanchuma, wonders why the Torah has to repeat these names, which were listed at the end of Sefer Bereishis. He answers that Hashem enumerated their names again, after their deaths, to show His love for them. Klal Yisrael, Rashi continues, are compared to stars, which are taken out and brought in by their number and by their names.

Sometimes, when you have a lot of people together, such as in Yeshivas Mir or at a public gathering, all you see is the klal โ€“ you donโ€™t look at every individual because each person alone doesnโ€™t seem important. When something is precious to you, however, even if you have a bunch of them together, you feel affection toward each one individually. In that sense, the Torah is revealing to us that not only is Klal Yisrael as a whole precious to Hashem, but every individual in Klal Yisrael has his own chavivus. And the sign of that chavivus is, as Rashi says, that they are counted โ€œื‘ืžืกืคืจ ื•ื‘ืฉืžื•ืชืโ€ โ€“ by number and name. When you address a person by his first name, that shows the person chavivus and chashivus. Similarly, when Hakadosh Baruch Hu mentions the name of each person separately yet again, that shows how beloved and important every Yid is in His eyes.

But why does the Torah choose to teach us this lesson about the chavivus and chashivus of every Yid specifically here, when Galus Mitzrayim is starting and the Egyptians are beginning to enact harsh decrees against the Yidden?

Yissurim: A Chance for Growth

By placing this lesson here, the Torah is conveying two messages to us. Galus is a time when weโ€™re among the non-Jews, and they can have an influence on the Yidden. One type of influence they might have is to lower a Yidโ€™s feelings about his Yiddishkeit and make him feel that heโ€™s not so special. The non-Jews say bad things about the Yidden and cause them bizayon. Furthermore, just being among people who live differently makes you feel uncomfortable about your Yiddishkeit and about yourself; you donโ€™t feel proud of yourself because there are people who are doing things differently. The Torah is revealing to us here that the key to surviving and thriving in galus is to always realize that you, as a Yid, are chaviv and chashuv to Hashem. This realization helps you keep your identity even when youโ€™re surrounded by non-Jews who look down on you and act differently.

In introducing Galus Mitzrayim with the lesson that every Jew is beloved, the Torah is also teaching us how to cope with yissurim. Often, when a person is suffering, he feels that he must be a bad person and must not be chashuv to Hashem. Things might be going wrong with his marriage, or his children, or his learning, or his job, and he takes that as a sign that Hashem doesnโ€™t love him. At this point in Sefer Shemos, as the galus is beginning, the Yidden might feel that theyโ€™re not chaviv and chashuv to Hashem. Thatโ€™s why the Torah begins the account of the galus by listing the names of the Shevatim, reminding us that every Yid is precious and important. The idea isnโ€™t that weโ€™re chaviv and chashuv even during times of tzaros and yissurim โ€“ itโ€™s that precisely because weโ€™re chaviv and chashuv, thatโ€™s why Hashem gives us yissurim.

The yissurim of Mitzrayim, and the yissurim of our current galus, are stepping stones in our process of growth and shteiging. With this idea, we can explain the passuk: ื•ึฐื™ื•ึนืกึตืฃ ื”ึธื™ึธื” ื‘ึฐืžึดืฆึฐืจึธื™ึดื. Rashi says that the reason the Torah is telling us that Yosef was in Mitzrayim โ€“ information we already know โ€“ is to emphasize that although Yosef was in Mitzrayim, he remained a tzaddik. But perhaps we can suggest that what made Yosef into a tzaddik was the very fact that he was in Mitzrayim, where he faced a massive nisayon and withstood it. Thatโ€™s what turned him into the tzaddik he was.

This idea is reflected in the first teaching of the Midrash Rabbah on this parashah. The Midrash cites the passuk ื•ึฐืึนื”ึฒื‘ื•ึน ืฉืึดื—ึฒืจื•ึน ืžื•ึผืกึธืจ (Mishlei 13:24), and expresses the concept that when Hashem loves someone, He gives him mussar so that he should grow.

At times, we face hardships in our learning, and things donโ€™t go well for us in avodas Hashem and in middos. Donโ€™t take that as a sign that youโ€™re not chaviv and chashuv, or that youโ€™re not a good person! On the contrary, itโ€™s because youโ€™re so special that Hashem is giving you opportunities to grow. Turn the hardships into opportunities for growth!

As a prelude to the galus, Hakadosh Baruch Hu sends us the message that the difficulties shouldnโ€™t pull us down or make us think weโ€™re bad people โ€“ on the contrary, this is happening because Klal Yisrael is beloved.

In Galus Mitzrayim, the Yidden werenโ€™t learning the whole time; they were working, so they might have felt as though they were not so chaviv to Hashem. In truth, however, a Yid is chaviv in every situation.

No one is perfect: ื›ึผึดื™ ืึธื“ึธื ืึตื™ืŸ ืฆึทื“ึผึดื™ืง ื‘ึผึธืึธืจึถืฅ ืึฒืฉืึถืจ ื™ึทืขึฒืฉื‚ึถื” ื˜ึผื•ึนื‘ ื•ึฐืœึนื ื™ึถื—ึฑื˜ึธื. In Galus Mitzrayim, the Yidden also fell significantly, descending to the forty-ninth level of tumah. But even so a Yid is chaviv and chashuv, and he can rise up very quickly, just as the Yidden in Mitzrayim did: When it was time for them to leave Mitzrayim, they rose very quickly. Similarly, in our galus, at this time of Ikvesa dโ€™Meshicha, when Moshiachโ€™s arrival is so close, every person has the ability to elevate himself.

Thatโ€™s why these weeks are called Shovavim, which is roshei teivos of the parashiyos of Shemos, Vaโ€™eira, Bo, etc. Just as in Mitzrayim, even though there were tremendous nisyonos and yissurim, the Yidden grew and shteiged so much โ€“ to the point that they were able to receive the Torah, build the Mishkan, and enter Eretz Yisrael โ€“ every person in galus is similarly able to grow, itโ€™s a wonderful opportunity. But a person has to maintain a clear vision of what his aspiration is and ask himself: Where do I want to go? He has to work to elevate himself, and if he stays focused on his goal then he can overcome the nisyonos he faces.

In the Path of the Avos

The Ramban, in his introduction to Parashas Shemos, says that Sefer Shemos is the sefer of galus and geulah: it starts with galus and ends with geulah. The geulah, he says, reached its completion when Klal Yisrael returned to the level of their forefathers, which happened when the Shechinah dwelled in the Mishkan just as it dwelled in the tents of the Avos. We hope to see this happen again speedily with the building of the third Beis Hamikdash, and we will merit this, bโ€™ezras Hashem, when we continue in the ways of the Avos: when we follow the example of Avraham Haโ€™Ivri, who stood strong in his Yiddishkeit and his chessed even though the whole world was against him, and that of Yitzchak, the amud haโ€™avodah, and of Yaakov, the amud haTorah. The Avos held firmly to the foundations of Yiddishkeit despite the various nisyonos and hardships they faced, and they instilled in us the ability to similarly hold firmly in every situation, and in this way to return to their level.

Klal Yisrael are compared to stars, and just as stars shine even in the darkness, we have the ability to create light even in the darkness of the galus. Sadly, we live in a world where a โ€œstarโ€ is a ball player or an actor; they stole the concept of stardom from us. In truth, however, every Yid is a star, every Yid is special, every Yid is chaviv, and every Yid can light up the darkness if he resolves to work, to try, and to keep strong in his avodas Hashem, in his hachzakas haTorah, in his integrity, in his shemiras halashon โ€” each person in accordance with what he takes upon himself to hold strong in during the galus. That makes him a shining star.

With Hashemโ€™s help, we should merit that the light of each Yid should illuminate the darkness of galus, and we should return to the level of the Avos. When that happens, we will experience the fulfillment of the passuk: ื•ึฐืึนื”ึฒื‘ึธื™ื• ื›ึผึฐืฆึตืืช ื”ึทืฉึผืึถืžึถืฉื ื‘ึผึดื’ึฐื‘ึปืจึธืชื•ึน โ€“ the light of every Yid will be even brighter than the sun.

Always remember who you are: youโ€™re all special, youโ€™re all Hashemโ€™s stars, youโ€™re all chaviv and chashuv. Keep working to bring yourselves out, and with Hashemโ€™s help we should all merit theืื•ึนืจ ื–ึธืจึปืขึท ืœึทืฆึผึทื“ึผึดื™ืง ย that is promised for those who remain strong, and the great simchah promised to the ื™ึดืฉืึฐืจึตื™ ืœึตื‘.
