PAR'SHAT SHEMOT: Broken Into Leadership

 ויאמר יהוה ראה ראיתי את־עני עמי אשׁר במצרים ואת־צעקתם שׁמעתי מפני נגשׂיו כי ידעתי את־מכאביו׃ 
 וארד להצילו מיד מצרים ולהעלתו מן־הארץ ההוא אל־ארץ טובה ורחבה אל־ארץ זבת חלב ודבשׁ אל־מקום הכנעני והחתי והאמרי והפרזי והחוי והיבוסי׃ 
 ועתה הנה צעקת בני־ישׂראל באה אלי וגם־ראיתי את־הלחץ אשׁר מצרים לחצים אתם׃ 



Adonai said, "I have seen how my people are being oppressed in Egypt and heard their cry for release from their slavemasters, because I know their pain. I have come down to rescue them from the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that country to a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey, the place of the Kena`ani, Hitti, Emori, P'rizi, Hivi and Y'vusi. Yes, the cry of the people of Isra'el has come to me, and I have seen how terribly the Egyptians oppress them. 
(Exo 3:7-9 CJB)



In this passage HaShem claimed He has seen the oppression of His people. That He heard their cries. He says, "I know their pain" which resulted in "I have come down..."
     In two weeks we will go over Par'shat "Bo". Though English texts of that parasha translate it as "Go", in Hebrew, "Bo" means "Come". The sages have therefore concluded that if HaShem tells Moshe, "Come to Pharaoh..." (Ex 10:1), as opposed to "Go to Pharaoh...", HaShem must be in Egypt. From there we learn that HaShem did not just content Himself with observing the situation from afar. He came down and took part of the afflictions of His people. 
     This sets an example for would-be leaders of HaShem's people. We cannot be satisfied with leaders which display mere remote empathy. A leader of HaShem's congregations need to be able to not just say "Sorry for your problem...!", or "I feel and understand your pain ...!", (when we really sometimes don't) but he needs to really truly empathize, and that from a heart of personal experience. If a leader is to empathize from a heart of personal experience, one cannot be a  true leader of HaShem's people without having personally gone through harrowing experiences and done some pretty awful blunders themselves. How else could they understand and have mercy on us simple people! In fact, mistakes and blunders seem to be the hallmark of those HaShem chooses to lead His people.    

I am remembered of the famous story of Jim Elliot and Nate Saint who went to teach about the God of Yeshua to the Mincayanis, a Waodani tribesman from the jungles of Ecuador in 1956.  The tribe  was so engrossed in personal vendettas that they did not know what it meant to have grandchildren. They actually killed Jim and Nate with their spears.         Later, Jim Elliot's wife of  decided to continue her husband's work and went to live among the  Mincayanis in order to care for them. That was something that took them by surprise. Her main message was about the God who could understand them  because 'He Himself had lost his son by a spear. But though it was painful to Him, He did not choose to go for revenge but rather to use His son's death as an element of life for those who killed him.'  You can watch the docu-drama rightly called 'The End of the Spear' here: http://christian-flix.com/end-of-the-spear/ 
     Because of His similar experience, those tribes people felt that that God could understand them, so they were willing to listen to His Words and let them change their lives. A beautiful true story.

Here is an anecdote to illustrate the point. (Heard from Rabbi Shalom Shwadron)

A little boy was playing in front of Rabbi Shwadron's house in Jerusalem. The child fell, and received a nasty cut. Hearing the child's cry, Rabbi Shwadron ran outside, put a towel over the cut, and rushed over with the boy to a doctor that lived nearby. As he was running, an elderly lady noticed his concern and distress and, thinking it was one of Rabbi Shwadron's children, called out, "Don't worry, don't worry, Hashem will help!"
     It so happened that the boy was the woman's grandson. Rabbi Shwadron was curious to see her reaction when she would realize the child's identity. Sure enough, as soon as she realized that it was her grandson, she stopped saying, "Don't worry," and started screaming at the top of her lungs, "My Meir! My Meir!" while neighbors tried to calm her down.
   
When someone else's child is involved, you may detachedly say, "Don't worry"; but when your own child is involved, then you'll shout!

Such kinds of leaders were the foremen of the Children of Israel in Egypt. 

The text of the Torah tells us, 

'The foremen of the people of Isra'el, whom Pharaoh's slavemasters had appointed to be over them, were flogged and asked, "Why haven't you fulfilled your quota of bricks yesterday and today, as you did formerly?"
(Exo 5:14 CJB)

Rashi, the medieval commentator writes: These officers were Israelite. They had pity for their fellow Israelites and did not force them to fill their quotas. When the officers handed over bricks to the Egyptian taskmasters, the taskmasters beat them for not having pressed the workers to fill their quotas. (Shemot Rabbah 5:20 cited by Rashi).

About the issue of leadership, the Chofetz Chayim also writes that leaders very often take unfair advantage of the people working under them. The just mode of behavior, however, is to never act condescendingly toward others, even if you are elevated to a rank above them. 
     Arrogance is a trait which is strictly forbidden. According to some authorities, the prohibition against arrogance is listed among the 613 commandments of the Torah. We should learn from the officers of the Children of Israel who not only did not take unfair advantage of those under them, but who even suffered physical pain to aid them. (Machaneh Israel, pt 2 ch 3.)



It is recorded in the Torah that when Moshe followed Jethro's advice to share the load of the care of the people by delegating responsibility onto others,  he looked for ... able men from all the people, men who fear God, who are trustworthy and hate a bribe, ....(Exo 18:21) When Moses asked the people to chose these kinds of leaders, Jewish historians tells us that the people chose these officers who had suffered the lash of the Egyptians on their behalf.


Bringing this situation closer to our concerns as disciples of the Master, about the events that happen in the desert Paul teaches that ... these things took place as examples for us, ...(1 Co 10:6). This choice by the Children of Israel should therefore serve us as a good sample of the kinds of leaders we should chose for our congregations.
 
The Master Himself taught about choices in leadership in the following words. He said,
    
"You know that among the Goyim, those who are supposed to rule them become tyrants, and their superiors become dictators. Among you, it must not be like that. On the contrary, whoever among you wants to be a leader must become your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave! (Mat 20:25-27)

..whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. (Mat 23:12)

The Master Himself, our Leader and King, set the example for us by suffering the lash of the Romans on our behalf. 

It is the conviction of this writer that only when, like the Children of Israel of old,  we will desire and establish such types of leaders over  our congregations, that is, 
  • Leaders who give their lives in service for the people they serve; 
  • Leaders who do not consider their office as gain;  
  • Leaders who reject pride and arrogance in favor of humility and service; 
  • Leaders who know that mercy is a bridge they cannot deny others without denying it to themselves;
  • Leader who, through their personal abnegation can show the miracle of the resurrection in their own lives of service to the body; 

... our messianic movement will be strong and fulfill its mission of being the Light of Messiah to the world just as it did before!

PAR'SHAT VAYECHI: Yissachar Who bears the Burden!

12/20/2018

Picture





ישׂשכר חמר גרם רבץ בין המשׁפתים׃ 
וירא מנחה כי טוב ואת־הארץ כי נעמה ויט שׁכמו לסבל ויהי למס־עבד׃


"Yissakhar is a strong donkey lying down in the sheep sheds. On seeing how good is settled life and how pleasant the country, he will bend his back to the burden, and submit to forced labor.  (Gen 49:14-15 CJB)





YISSACHAR WHO BEARS THE BURDEN


FOR THE END OF DAYS.
Before his death, Jacob commented on each of his children. As he introduced what we call his “blessings” over his children, he says, “ "Gather yourselves together, and I will tell you what will happen to you in the acharit-hayamim.”(Gen 49:1) “Achareit-Hayamim” is a Hebrew terminology that means, “At the end of days”. Jacob was prophesying things that had to do with the end-time.

BLESSING OVER YISSACHAR.
Of Yissachar he said, "On seeing how good is settled life and how pleasant the country, he will bend his back to the burden, and submit to forced labor (Gen 49:15). A more literal translation from the Hebrew would read, “Yissachar saw that rest was good. He bowed his shoulder to bear!”
          Jacob foresaw that as a tribe, Yissachar would have a love for Torah study. He saw that Yissachar would understand that proper Torah understanding depends on rest and peace of mind. That’s what Jacob meant when looking into the future he said that Yissachar, “Saw that rest was good.” Jacob envisioned Yissachar as a tribe in the desert looking forward to the rest in the Land of Milk and Honey. But life in the desert would be anything but peaceful so by, “He bowed his shoulder to bear”, Jacob saw that Yissachar would make sure to learn to bear with everything that came his way while not letting it affect this personal peace of mind that is essential for Torah understanding. By training himself to bear with any difficulties, Yissachar would reach the highest levels of peace of mind in all situations.
          Daat Torah on Bereshit says, “When one reaches the proper level of training, nothing will be able to take away his serenity. Therefore in reference to Yissachar the Torah states, ‘He saw that rest was good.’”
Yissachar would teach himself to have that inner peace, that shalom that passes all understanding (Phil 4:7),  even while in the midst of complicated difficulties.

As a result, Yissachar became the tribe of studies. Its reputation is mentioned later in “Of the descendants of Yissakhar, men who understood the times and knew what Isra'el ought to do, there were 200 leaders, …” (1Ch 12:32)

WHERE DOES INTERNAL PEACE/SHALOM COME FROM?
In the desert, Issachar would learn that peace of mind has very little to do with external circumstances.
People who rely on external circumstances in order to find peace will always be disappointed. Why? Because we cannot control anything around us. Issachar learned about peace in the desert, in the place where there is very little comforts, conveniences, and luxuries. In the place where he is totally dependant on HaShem.

WHAT DO WE LEARN FROM THIS?
If we are used to only have peace of mind when everything is OK, we are bound to remain in constant confusion because things are seldom OK. But when a person like Yissachar, learns to find peace in the midst of a “storm” he has now acquired a peace that is independent of his environment and that is the peace of mind that is essential to understand Torah.
          That is why HaShem had to take Israel through the desert. It is only in the midst of dire situations where we are in total dependence to Him that we learn to find the kind of internal peace that is necessary to learn Torah. Our lives may never be ideal. Our needs may never be fully met. Our outward living conditions may never be conducive to Torah study. Like Yissachar, we have to train ourselves to bear difficulties with peace.
But how do we do it?

LOOK TO THE MASTER!
Ancient Greek athletes drew their strength by training in unfavorable condition. They used to train with weights on their ankles so on the day of the race, they took off these weights and literally flew on the tracks (Heb 12:1).
          At a contest for the greatest painting illustrating peace, many had painted quiet pastoral scenes. The painting that won the prize was one of a roaring and raging torrent breaking everything in its path. If one looked carefully at the painting, he could see a nest with a bird peacefully singing on a branch taken down by the raging waters.


Service dogs are taught to focus on their prime duty to their master while being subjected to noisy distractions and temptations. This teaches them to stay focused even when conditions are less than ideal. His trainer puts a piece of meat on the ground and says, “No!” The dog knows that he is not supposed to eat that piece of meat so he intently stares at the face of his master. He dares not look at that meat. He knows that then the temptation would then be too strong, so he just stares at his master.
          The dog has a lesson for us here. If we want to have that peace that passes all understanding, if we want to have the internal peace that is essential to the proper study of Torah, if we want to stay focused on our mission and responsibility, we must keep our eyes on the Master.


PATRIARCHS OF FAITH.
Jacob foresaw Yissachar as a tribe dedicated study; as a tribe who understood the times; as a tribe who symbolized the peaceful spiritual scholarly attributes of Israel. But peace, true peace has eluded Israel since its inception. As such, Jacob and Yissachar can be called patriarchs, as they died not having received the promises of peace for Israel (Heb 11;123).


May we also believe in those promises of a Land of peace and rest no matter what happens around us. The early pioneer of modern Israel believed it or they would never have moved in.

May we like Yissachar, bear the burden that we may have the peace that passes all understanding in spite of external condition until that Day, until such a day when peace will be the hallmark of the Land where HaShem has chosen to put His Name.

PAR'SHAT VAYIGASH: Life is not Random!

ויאמר יוסף אל־אחיו גשׁו־נא אלי ויגשׁו ויאמר אני יוסף אחיכם אשׁר־מכרתם אתי מצרימה׃
ועתה אל־תעצבו ואל־יחר בעיניכם כי־מכרתם אתי הנה כי למחיה שׁלחני אלהים לפניכם׃
כי־זה שׁנתים הרעב בקרב הארץ ועוד חמשׁ שׁנים אשׁר אין־חרישׁ וקציר׃
וישׁלחני אלהים לפניכם לשׂום לכם שׁארית בארץ ולהחיות לכם לפליטה גדלה׃

Yosef said to his brothers, "Please! Come closer." And they came closer. He said, "I am Yosef, your brother, whom you sold into Egypt. But don't be sad that you sold me into slavery here or angry at yourselves, because it was God who sent me ahead of you to preserve life. The famine has been over the land for the last two years, and for yet another five years there will be neither plowing nor harvest. God sent me ahead of you to ensure that you will have descendants on earth and to save your lives in a great deliverance. (Gen 45:4-7)

​

LIFE IS NOT RANDOM
“Finding meaning in life's difficulties makes them easier to cope with. The Chofetz Chaim commented that from the time the brothers first came to Egypt to get food and Yoseph accused them of being spies, they were puzzled about what exactly was happening. However, once the brothers heard the words "I am Yoseph", their questions about the chain of prior events in Egypt were immediately clarified.
Similarly, when the world hears the words "I am HaShem", all of our questions and difficulties will be answered. Realizing that HaShem has a "master plan" -- even if it beyond our comprehension -- gives meaning to our hardships and suffering. Even if you don't know the exact meaning of a particular event, the knowledge that there is an ultimate meaning will enable you to view the situation in a positive, albeit painful, manner.” Zelig Pliskin.

LIFE HAPPENS!
Life has a way of happening, and very often, against many of our wishes. These are times when our personal satisfaction and happiness hangs on whether we fight it, flow with it, or accept it. I would dare to venture and say that each of these modus operandi are good, in their proper time and place. It is like the poor soldier who was asked to go deliver a message across enemy lines. He was told to zig-zag in order to avoid the flying bullets. When he was later found wounded and bleeding from several shots he was asked what happened, he replied, “I guess I must have zigged when I should have zagged, and zagged when I should have zigged.” There are probably times when we should fight what seems to be a ill destiny, but there are also times to flow with it or even accept it. Wisdom is to have the right attitude at the right time.
I am reminded of King David who when insulted by Nabal, Abigail's husband wanted to destroy the man and all he owned (1 Samuel 25:34), but at another time, he allowed Shimei to insult him because he knew it was HaShem reminding him of his sin (2 Samuel 16:5-13).

ATTITUDE DEFINES OUR ALTITUDE!
Of all the attitudes to have about the seemingly negative things that can happen in one's life, I think Joseph had the best. He had the universal one; the one that is true and that works at all times. His attitude serves as a model for all those who have decided to let HaShem have the final say in their lives. When his brothers came to him in fear, he said to them, “Don’t be sad that you sold me into slavery here or angry at yourselves, because it was God who sent me ahead of you to preserve life. The famine has been over the land for the last two years, and for yet another five years there will be neither plowing nor harvest. God sent me ahead of you to ensure that you will have descendants on earth and to save your lives in a great deliverance. So it was not you who sent me here, but God;“ (Genesis 45: 5-8).

Joseph, who had all the reasons in the world to complain and even abandon God, was aware of the often forgotten truth: we are not the masters of our fate. The quicker we come to that realisation, the quicker our lives will seem to flow with some sort of reason. The quicker we realize that God is the one who has everything under control, the good, the bad, and even the ugly, the quicker we are able to make sense of life.

LIFE IS NOT RANDOM.
We might not know the sense, but the fact of knowing that life is not random but that there is a maker, a decided, someone watching makes the difference. This is the realisation that has kept me going through a rather turbulent life, knowing that whatever the turbulence, I am not a ship helplessly abandoned to the elements of a vast wild ocean. There is a Plan. There is a Planner. There is an Idea. There is a Purpose. Joseph's tests of faith also taught him that there was a Plan, a Planner, an Idea, and a Purpose.

When Yeshua addressed the Israelite multitude of His days, He did not promise that God would alleviate their present day suffering. He did not tell them that he would kick the Romans out. He did not tell them that if they gave their lives to HaShem they would be healed of all their sicknesses, would not know hunger or thirst anymore, nor suffer under the pain of diseases. What He told them was,

"How blessed are the poor in spirit! for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs. "How blessed are those who mourn! for they will be comforted. "How blessed are the meek! for they will inherit the Land! "How blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness! for they will be filled. "How blessed are those who show mercy! for they will be shown mercy. "How blessed are the pure in heart! for they will see God. "How blessed are those who make peace! for they will be called sons of God. "How blessed are those who are persecuted because they pursue righteousness! for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs. "How blessed you are when people insult you and persecute you and tell all kinds of vicious lies about you because you follow me! (Mat 5:3-11)

No matter what their present conditions were, and no matter even if they lived or died, not even a sparrow does falls to the ground, not even a hair falls off our head without the Father knowing about it.

All Yeshua told people is that life is not random. A child can be afflicted from cancer and it is not random. A husband or a wife can die of a car accident because someone chose to drink and drive, and it is not random. A baby can be born with a handicap and it is not random. Understanding that there is a purpose in everything changes the way think about life.

This was Joseph's attitude. An attitude that kept him from harboring hateful revenge against his brothers. An attitude that kept him from abandoning the God of his ancestors when things went wrong. An attitude that brought him from the lowest of hell to the highest command in Egypt under pharaoh himself.

MAY WE LEARN FROM THIS.
May we learn from Joseph. May we learn his lesson.
May we use today's small and great troubles as tests, as training grounds to prepare us, so that when  the times called, Jacob’s Troubles come, we will be strong in the face of he who will tempt us to backslide towards hatred, anger, and vengeance.
A story is told that once the passengers of a vessel steaming along the St. Lawrence River were very angry because, in spite of the fact that heavy fog was encircling the boat, full speed ahead was maintained. At last they went to the first mate, & complained, "Oh, don't be afraid!" the mate replied, with a smile. "The fog lies low, & the captain is high above it, & can see where we are going."
               Would we be tempted to complain of the way our Great Captain is leading us? He can see the end of the way. Our ship may seem to be aimlessly tossed to and fro in the fog and winds of adversity, but we should not jump ship. We should instead  remember that Yeshua is a seaworthy captain who sits high above and sees where we are going.

PAR'SHAT MIKETZ: In the Footsteps of Joseph.

12/5/2018

 ויאמר פרעה אל־עבדיו הנמצא כזה אישׁ אשׁר רוח אלהים בו׃

And Pharaoh said to his servants, "Can we find a man like this, in whom is the Spirit of God?"  (Gen 41:38)

​





​IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF JOSEPH

The parasha this week has so much to offer along the lines of ethical life within the congregation.




WALKING IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF HIS FATHERS.
Wherever he goes, whatever he does, Joseph is found to be  a reliable, faithful, honest worker and servant. His masters come to admire him and his nameless invisible God who is constantly in  his lips. No matter what happened to him, Joseph never deviated from his father’s, grandfather’s , and great-grandfather's examples of integrity,  honesty and faithfulness.

HOW DOES HE DO THAT?
It seems that Joseph lived his life according to Murphy's law, “If anything can go wrong, it will.” In spite of it, we don't have any records of any complaints from Joseph. He kept plugging in never complaining, demanding his rights, or pleading his cause. In this we can see the attitude of Isaac with Abimelech (Gen 26), and of Jacob with Laban (Gen: 31:38-42).

This patient resilient attitude seems to be a hallmark of the patriarchs. This spirit of humility and abnegation appears to be a blueprint, almost a messianic blueprint for all the would-be kings and prophets of Israel's history,of  in fact, Israel itself, who constantly seems to have to earn its very own divine given right just to exist. Messiah himself was presented to us as one who opened not his mouth in protests against the injustice done against him (Is 53:7).

IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF THE WORLD.
I have written in the past about the need to emulate the silent resilience of the patriarchs, but I think that this parasha has an extra layer of truth to offer us.

Yeshua said,we are in the world but of the world (John 17). The spirit of the world is anti-God. We live in a society that is diametrically opposite to our beliefs. How do we live in it? How do we keep the peace with it and yet preserve our integrity? Joseph's life presents us with a blueprint on how to do that.

We must remember the early disciples whom Yeshua asked to leave Israel and go abroad. They were asked to go live in a place where everything Jewish was complicated, where kosher meat would hard to find, and where everything wreaked of the idolatry they so despised.

In the same manner today, the disciples of the master are asked to live in a world where pride, violence, and lying subterfuges reign. Everywhere we turn we are subject to the vanity and sensuality of this depraved generation which in it's attempt to re-invent God, calls evil “good” and good “evil.”

The most beautiful part of this parasha is this. When Joseph the convict, Joseph the ex-con, Joseph the prisonnier from a foreign land of uneducated folks admonishes Pharaoh to find a "... man both discreet and wise to put in charge of the land of Egypt. …  to receive a twenty percent tax on the produce of the land of Egypt during the seven years of abundance. (Gen 41:33-34) A job that could only be entrusted to someone honest and faithful,
...
“Pharaoh said to his officials, "Can we find anyone else like him? The Spirit of God lives in him!" So Pharaoh said to Yosef, "Since God has shown you all this -- there is no one as discerning and wise as you --you will be in charge of my household; all my people will be ruled by what you say. Only when I rule from my throne will I be greater than you." Pharaoh said to Yosef, "Here, I place you in charge of the whole land of Egypt." Pharaoh took his signet ring off his hand and put it on Yosef's hand, had him clothed in fine linen with a gold chain around his neck and had him ride in his second best chariot; and they cried before him, "Bow down!" Thus he placed him in charge of the whole land of Egypt. (Gen 41:38-43)



Pagan idolatrous Pharaoh saw the spirit of God in Joseph. He saw the spirit of God in Joseph because of Joseph’s behavior. Joseph really never attempted to verbally teach Pharaoh about the God he served, but his godly behavior was the visual testimony of his invisible nameless God and for this, Pharaoh put Joseph over his whole empire. This often made me think of what King Solomon said, ”When a man's ways please Adonai, he makes even the man's enemies be at peace with him.” (Pro 16:7)


AND WHAT DO WE LEARN FROM THIS?
In every generation the children of God have had to deal with harassment, ridicule,  or persecution from ungodly folks. The Talmud has many stories about resilient Rabbis who humbly accepted martyrdom.
http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/10447-martyrs-the-ten
Many are even found in the Foxe's Book of Martyrs. I have also heard of many stories of Jews and Christians martyrs under stalinist Russia or Nazi Germany.

It is believed by many that we are heading back to a time when those who want to remain faithful to live in the ways of the God of Abraham will find themselves in the minority. We therefore need to learn from people like Joseph, as well as Daniel and Esther. These were people who by their humility, faithfulness, and wisdom ascended to the top of their world and were therefore able to be a positive influence on the government, and even save their people.

We have seen this story with Oscar Schindler whose patient and resilient Jewish accountant became the bridge to save the lives of many. So as it was with Joseph, in times of persecution it could be that our sense of ethical living, honesty, trust, and integrity could be the key to move the mighty hands of the powers that be in the favor of God's children.

Pharaoh who did not know the God of Abraham recognised godliness in Joseph. This visual witness tops any verbal profession of belief.

May we live lives where even the ungodly may be able to to see our good works and praise our Father who is in Heaven.
​


May we live lives that makes the non-believer want to know the Gd serve.

May we live lives in ways that please HaShem so much that he makes even our enemies to be at peace with us.

May we remember the Maccabees who fought for our way of life at a time when many in Israel had compromised with worldly hellenism.
