Parashat Shemot in english 5769
Rav David Daniel Hacohen שליט״א
Résumé
The Rav explains the multiplication of Israel in Parashat Shemot by going back to Adam, who in his good intention mixed the souls of the nations with the souls of Israel. This mixture was repaired in stages by the Patriarchs, then by the slavery in Egypt, where Israel had to relearn faith. He reads the ten plagues as three groups, according to the sign of Rabbi Yehuda, teaching that Hashem exists, that He watches over every detail, and that He can do whatever He wants. The Rav says that good comes through the righteous and hardship through the wicked, and that one should feel pity rather than anger toward someone who harms us. He adds that a loss may be a kindness from Hashem, as in the story of Eliyahu and the cow. For the Rav, the weeks from Shemot to Mishpatim are the best time to repent and repair past mistakes.
