WALKING THROUGH FIRE

goldwasserThe river shall swarm with frogs, and they shall ascend and come into your palace, your bedroom and your bed …into your ovens and into your kneading bowls (Shemos 7:28).

We read in Sefer Daniel (3) that Nevuchadnezzar erected an idol of gold in the Valley of Dura, in Bovel.  The idol was 60 amos high and its breadth was 6 amos.  All the government leaders were called to participate in the dedication of the idol.  A proclamation was made that when the instruments sound all who are gathered must fall on their face and bow to the idol.   Whoever would not bow to the idol would be thrown into the fiery furnaces.  Everyone bowed, except Chananyah, Misha’el and Azaryah.

A FIGHTING CHANCE …

goldwasserIn the parshiyos preceding this week’s parsha Parshas Shemos -- we read about the Golden Age, when Yosef was in his position of power in Mitzrayim, and Pharaoh personally promised him and his brothers that they would be privileged to benefit from all of Egypt’s blessings and prosperity.   Many people think that Galus Mitzrayim (the Egyptian exile) begins with Parshas Shemos when, as the Torah tells us, a new king arose in Mitzrayim who did not know Yosef.  Rashi explains that Pharaoh feigned ignorance of Yosef and we read of the decrees that were promulgated and Bnai Yisroel’s subsequent servitude.

goldwasserYaakov Avinu blesses his son Yehuda (Bereishis 49:12), Chachlili einayim miyoyin ulven shinayim meichalav -- their eyes will be reddened from the abundance of wine and their teeth will be white from the abundance of milk.”    

The Talmud (Kesubos 111b) explains that one who smiles to his friend (i.e. his eyes reflect kindness and affection and he shows his teeth) is better than one who gives his friend milk to drink.

THE NINTH CANDLE

goldwasserOn both Purim and Chanukah we recite the Al HaNissim, and conclude with thanks and praise to Hashem.  However, the Birchos Shivim points out a major distinction between the two holidays.  On Chanukah there were revealed miracles, nissim gluyim.  The many and strong army of the Greeks was defeated by the few and weak army of the Chashmona’im and the small cruse of oil, which was only enough to burn for one day, remained lit for eight days.  In contrast, Purim is represented by nissim nistarim, hidden miracles, whereby Hashem brought the salvation for the Jewish nation through seemingly natural occurrences.  As a matter of fact, the name Esther is derived from the Hebrew word for “concealed.”

goldwasser“And a man wrestled with him [Yaakov] until the break of dawn …” (Beraishis 32:25)

After leaving Be’er Sheva, Yaakov encountered the Angel of Eisav.  Why did the Angel of Eisav choose to struggle with Yaakov Avinu?  He had never attempted to engage Avraham Avinu, the first and greatest of believers [in G-d], who promulgated the sovereignty of Hashem in the world. Nor had the Angel of Eisav confronted Yitzchak, who had been willing to be sacrificed on the altar at Har HaMoriah.  Why did he now choose to challenge the crushed and defeated Yaakov on the other side of the Yabbok River?
