Shabbat Creation and Yesiat Misrayim Welcome to the Daily Bitachon . Today on our Erev Shabbat series we speak of Shabbat . I saw a beautiful thought, real hashgacha pratit as it directly connects Sha'ar Bechina and Shabbat . The Sefer Neos Deshe written by the same author as the Avnei Nezer , a famous work. He asks the following question: Why is it that in Parshat Yitro and Ki Tissa , the reason for Shabbat given is to remember creation, and when it comes to Va'etchanan , the second Dibrot , it talks about zecher l'Yitziat Mitzrayim ? And he explains that there are two ways to recognize God. One of them is through creation, and the other one is through the miracles of Yitziat Mitzrayim . Now, which is the way to go? And he says they're both true. Looking into creation is a great way to recognize God, and he says that's what the Chovot HaLevavot bases himself on in Sha'ar HaBechina . But he says not everyone can do that and use that as a cause to recognize God. And therefore, we needed Yitziat Mitzrayim with all the wonders and all the plagues we saw with our own eyes in order that God's power and control should be seen openly to everybody. Further he says, the souls of yesteryear were very great souls, and they could see God just through creation, just through seeing the daily wonders. But the souls of later are not as powerful, their eyes are a little bit weaker, and if they don't see open miracles, they're not going to see it. But he says once a person has seen the miracles of Yitziat Mitzrayim and his vision starts getting clear, now he could see God in creation as well. And that's the additional work that we do now after we have Yitziat Mitzrayim . Explains the Gemara that says that in the future we will no longer talk about Yitziat Mitzrayim because the whole purpose of Yitziat Mitzrayim was only when we were weak and we needed to have those open miracles to see God. Once Mashiach comes and our vision will be clear, we'll go back to the pre-sin stage and be able to recognize God in creation. Now, hold on. If that's the case that we needed Yitziat Mitzrayim , then why is it the first set of commandments talk about Ma'aseh Bereishit and the second set of commandments go back to Yitziat Mitzrayim again? And he explains that after we got out of Egypt, we became purified and we were ready to see God through creation alone. But when we sinned the sin of the Eigel HaZahav , we dropped. And then we have to keep on reminding ourselves of Yitziat Mitzrayim first and then we can see God through creation. And he says therefore in Yitro and in Ki Tissa , which both were mentioned before the sin of the Eigel HaZahav , we talk about Ma'aseh Bereishit . We could see God through creation alone. After the sin of the Eigel HaZahav , we need to always start again with Yitziat Mitzrayim . We see God through Yitziat Mitzrayim . Everything's zecher l'Yitziat Mitzrayim . Pesach , which is coming soon, we work on Yitziat Mitzrayim . And therefore we can't do anything, even our Shabbat , without first going through Yitziat Mitzrayim because we need to have that clear understanding that we got from the open miracles to remove that layer from our eyes and now we're able to see things clearly and now once we see things clearly due to the message of Mitzrayim , we can once again start looking into creation and seeing God there. So it turns out that every single day of the year we talk about zecher l'Yitziat Mitzrayim in our Kriat Shema . We need that, and once we have that, then we can start going on to our Ma'aseh Bereishit which is our Sha'ar HaBechina . So all of our Sha'ar HaBechina work is important work. That's how Avraham Avinu got there. But in our times, we can't start with that. And that's probably why answers our question on the world, why don't we see the world spending their time on Sha'ar HaBechina ? And the answer is it's not so simple. Sha'ar HaBechina isn't so simple, but again it's important, that's the whole Chovot HaLevavot depends on that. That's the building. the building block of a person's personal search, but again it starts with the clear and open miracles of Yetziat Mitzrayim . That's a beautiful thought on Shabbat . Again, that's what we're talking about, that Shabbat has to be both Zecher L'ma'aseh Bereshit and once we get that message, we can go on to

As children marry, family dynamics change; they build their own homes, and they create new and separate lives. It's a different dynamic. Family get-togethers, Shabbos and Festivals become more like the ingathering of the clan rather than those intimate  In 1972, Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair opened SARM Studios the first 24-track recording studio in Europe where Queen mixed "Bohemian Rhapsody". His music publishing company, Druidcrest Music published the music for The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1973) and as a record producer, he co-produced the quadruple-platinum debut album by American band "Foreigner" (1976). American Top ten singles from this album included, "Feels Like The First Time", "Cold as Ice" and "Long, Long Way from Home". Other production work included "The Enid – In the Region of the Summer Stars", "The Curves", and "Nutz" as well as singles based on The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy with Douglas Adams and Richard O'Brien. Other artists who used SARM included: ABC, Alison Moyet, Art of Noise, Brian May, The Buggles, The Clash, Dina Carroll, Dollar, Flintlock, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Grace Jones, It Bites, Malcolm McLaren, Nik Kershaw, Propaganda, Rush, Rik Mayall, Stephen Duffy, and Yes. In 1987, he settled in Jerusalem to immerse himself in the study of Torah. His two Torah books The Color of Heaven, on the weekly Torah portion, and Seasons of the Moon met with great critical acclaim. Seasons of the Moon, a unique fine-art black-and-white photography book combining poetry and Torah essays, has now sold out and is much sought as a collector's item fetching up to $250 for a mint copy. He is much in demand as an inspirational speaker both in Israel, Great Britain and the United States. He was Plenary Keynote Speaker at the Agudas Yisrael Convention, and Keynote Speaker at Project Inspire in 2018. Rabbi Sinclair lectures in Talmud and Jewish Philosophy at Ohr Somayach/Tannenbaum College of Judaic studies in Jerusalem and is a senior staff writer of the Torah internet publications Ohrnet and Torah Weekly. His articles have been published in The Jewish Observer, American Jewish Spirit, AJOP Newsletter, Zurich's Die Jüdische Zeitung, South African Jewish Report and many others. Rabbi Sinclair was born in London, and lives with his family in Jerusalem. He was educated at St. Anthony's Preparatory School in Hampstead, Clifton College, and Bristol University.

How do I ground Sinai?

Before Matan Torah, did Hashem challenge the Bnei Yisrael with something that went against their nature, as he did with other nations?

Exploring the Ten Commandments through the Rebbe's Sicha, dedicated to Levi Yitzchak. A reflection on complete devotion to Hashem, lived through love, teaching, and lifelong shlichus that transformed countless lives. https://www.torahrecordings.com/classes/by_parsha/002_shemos/005_yisro/010

What responsibility comes with being chosen? In this episode, Zvi Hirschfield and Rabbi Mike Feuer explore Parshat Yitro and the surprising choice to frame the revelation at Sinai through the presence of Yitro, an outsider. They examine how the Torah presents Jewish chosenness not as exclusivity, but as responsibility—calling Israel to become a mamlechet kohanim, a people devoted to serving God by serving the world. The conversation reflects on how particular covenant and universal mission are meant to work together.

In this conversation with Yael Leibowitz, we discuss Yeshayahu's theophany in the Haftorah within the broader context of prophecy and its function as an intermediary between God and the nation of Israel. We also discuss the geopolitical backdrop of the second half of the Ashkenazi Haftorah and how it relates to our modern reality. This parsha's podcast is dedicated to the recovery of Phyllis Hecht by her friends who love and admire her. This year the Matan Podcast is exploring the weekly Haftorah.

Torah Class - Parshat Yitro: Why Was Moses Reluctant to Delegate?Jethro comes for a visit and suggests that Moses delegate authority to judges; otherwise, he will collapse under the burden. Did Moses not realize this himself? The fascinating difference between the approaches of Moses and Jethro—and G-d's surprising decision.

In this candid conversation with Rabbanit Nechama Goldman Barash, we explore the halakhic obligations and limits of the commandment to honor one's parents in an age where the parent-child relationship has undergone tremendous change. The series asks what axiomatic ideas sit at the root of Israel's national formation, without which we wouldn't be who we are? How might we adjust our current trends in the Jewish world to realign with these principles?

1st Grade Girs on Parshat Yitro 

Parshat Yitro Shabbat Matan Torah!!! Chazal knew how *ridiculously* judgmental we are!?! How am I expected to control my thoughts!?! How to live your whole life for free!?!?!

In Parshat Yitro, we read about the revelation at Sinai and the giving of the 10 Commandments. The image of the 10 Commandments is one of the most familiar images from the Torah, but when you read the Sages' description of the tablets, not only will you be shocked to hear that we may have been depicting the image wrong all along, but we may also be missing an important part of what the 10 Commandments are all about.Join Ari Levisohn and Daniel Loewenstein as they explore the Sages' words and discuss the powerful implications of a new way to see the 10 Commandments. To hear Rabbi Fohrman's complete interview on the podcast excerpted in this week's episode, listen here. To learn more about the suzerain-vassal treaties Ari discusses, check out this article.To access the brand new season of Rabbi Fohrman's podcast, A Book Like No Other, click here to subscribe to Aleph Beta.

Many people don't understand why "You shall not covet" became one of the Ten Commandments. The Torah specifically says, "You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife… nor anything that is your neighbor's" (Exodus 20:13). A person shrugs his shoulders in innocence and protests, "What did I do wrong? Did I steal? Did I kill? Did I commit adultery? So what if I found that other woman attractive? I didn't touch her! I didn't even speak to her!" That's where the evil inclination, dressed up as the covet culprit, gets gullible people to jump in a boiling pot of troubled waters...
