Why make* and bring geula not later, but NOW

13 Adar 5783 | י"ג אדר ה'תשפ"ג
The Fast of Esther | תענית אסתר


Shemoth שמות ל"ג, י"ב-י"ז 33:12-17, Sefaria
(bolding mine, English follows Hebrew - HDG)

 

 
י"ז וַיֹּ֤אמֶר יְהֹוָה֙ אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֔ה גַּ֣ם אֶת־הַדָּבָ֥ר הַזֶּ֛ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר דִּבַּ֖רְתָּ אֶֽעֱשֶׂ֑ה כִּֽי־מָצָ֤אתָ חֵן֙ בְּעֵינַ֔י וָאֵדָעֲךָ֖ בְּשֵֽׁם׃
 
17 And יהוה said to Moses, “I will also do this thing that you have asked; for you have truly gained My favor and I have singled you out by name.”

*** 

My comment: Moshe Rabbenu received the commandment back towards the beginning of this book to free the people and bring them to the Land haShem promised them. In the above passage, He was so angry with our ancestors for worshiping the golden statue of a calf that He threatened to wipe them out and start all over again with Moshe. It shows Moshe's derekh eretz that he remembered what his mission was, and that he convinced haShem to stick with it, rather than abandon the people altogether. After all, how did he know that his descendants wouldn't do the same thing? And how long would this process go on; hasn't this gone on long enough? We are coming up to Am Yisrael's 3,335th birthdaysee HERE  - HDG

***

OH, GOD, if YOU gave and continue to give the Jewish People the favor YOU promised Moshe Rabbenu in the above passage, PLEASE SEND and REVEAL MASHIAH NOW!!!

***

Next year there will be two months of Adar! and be"H we will live and be well to see them with him!

* Make Geula: I got this term from Shmuel Sackett, HERE

Just remember that those who followed Moshe out of the darkness of Egypt/Mitzrayim got to have the chance to go to the Land they were promised! And not everyone made it here...

  1. Great Post, Hava.
    Yes, only the grandchildren and some went with Yehoshua across the RIVER and entered into Eretz Canaan.
    Those who crossed over were explicitly commanded to DRIVE OUT THE HEATHENS, not to leave one behind from whom to learn their abominable ways. We see those who left mitzrayim did not enter the Land, except for Joshua and Calev, who were much older than those they led into the Land.
    I think we are so so close, but OTOH we cannot know the timetable of Hashem.
    Rabbi Moshe Goldsmith (of Itamar) gave a very nice dvar Torah (about the matzav)

    #קרבן_פסח_תשפג

    שורת רבנים בפניה לנתניהו ובן גביר: אפשרו להקריב השנה את קרבן הפסח בהר הבית
    חמישה עשר רבנים פנו במכתב רשמי לראש הממשלה נתניהו ולשר לביטחון לאומי איתמר בן גביר, בקריאה לפתוח את שערי הר הבית ביום י"ד ניסן הקרוב, ערב חג הפסח - על מנת לאפשר את הקרבת קרבן הפסח בהר הבית.
    "זכינו בחסדי ה' שמקום המקדש הינו בשליטה יהודית, ובמידה ומדינת ישראל תראה בהקרבת קרבן הפסח אינטרס לאומי ראשון במעלה, כפי שראוי, נוכל להקריב את קרבן הפסח במקומו ובמועדו חרף כל הקשיים." כתבו הרבנים במכתב.… See more

    Prophetic Anticipation Builds: Unblemished Red Heifers for Temple Ceremony Soon Come of Age

    “So we believe that it's very likely that the ceremony would happen somewhere in the area of Passover 2023, out to the possibility of Shavuot, 2023,” Stinson said. “Somewhere in that timeline, the cows would be old enough and it would be the proper timeline for that ceremony.”
    Stinson believes this would be the first possibility for such a ceremony in 2,000 years, and that the process toward building a Third Jewish Temple began when the Jewish people started their return to the Promised Land from the four corners of the world, culminating with Israel becoming a nation.
