For this one, I jumped into a bit about being a music director @ WMUC & playing NYC jazz clubs.. butt I mostly spoke about the incredible journey of Moshe (Moses).

Moshe felt & knew that he wasn’t Egyptian, despite his upbringing and surroundings, he knew he was an Israelite. Moshe had an attachment to Yocheved & her children. He later found out he was her son and they, his siblings. As the saying goes, the truth always comes out in the end. It was then that, “Moshe grew up, and he went out to his brethren and saw their suffering.” Later in the parashah, it says “Hashem saw that he turned aside to see” referring to Moshe’s leaving his own comforts to see the pain and suffering of others and acting on it. This is what made Moshe worthy of being the redeemer and leader of B’nei Yisrael. It’s something we all need to continuously learn from: it’s not enough to see & feel empathetic toward someone else’s suffering, but we must also act on it, and work to redeem the ones who are suffering.

We have to remember that to bring the redemptive state, we need to constantly refine our bitachon (trust), so that we truly believe, as we can only bring others to the truth when we’re fully immersed in it ourselves. Truth in Hebrew is emet (אמת), which is the first, middle and last letter of the aleph bet, paralleling what is written in Isaiah, “I am the First & I am the Last, & besides Me there is no god.” There is nothing but Hashem, the truth, Oneness, represented by aleph (א). To remove aleph from emet (אמת) is to be left with met (מת) which means “death.” The other side of truth is the Sitra Achra, which represents the opposite of life, the opposite of truth and opposes Hashem by concealing Oneness.

It may feel that our generation is at a lower level than the previous, but we’re actually standing on the good deeds of those that came before us, connected to their souls & our ascents and our final redemption comes from the previous hardships and the ascents that came from the descents. We’re now in the time of the final redemption, closer than we’ve ever been. We need to tap into that reality, that truth, that Oneness, and reveal what has previously been concealed, because the revelation is becoming clearer than it’s ever been!

Thanks for listening!
Much love & Shabbat Shalom!
