ОТРЫВКИ ИЗ БЕСЕД РЕБЕ Золото и серебро Всевышний говорит Моше: «И дам Я этому народу приязнь в глазах египтян». В Мидраше сказано об этом: «Дам вам приязнь египтян, чтобы они вам отдали и вы вышли с полными руками.
Чтобы не сказал Авраам, что обещание «и поработят их» исполнилось, а еще одно обещание «после этого выйдут с большим имуществом» не исполнилось». Продолжение на стр. 5
Never Lose the Spirit
Imagine you have been working on the job for years and years. It is hard, manual labor and you are not simply tired but exhausted, demoralized, drained and frustrated. And then, one fine day, some new fellow on the floor stands up and promises a whole new world of equality, rewards and ultimate freedom. Do you believe him or are you beyond hope? Do you dare hold out for a better tomorrow and risk being devastated and cast into despair yet again or do you simply accept your fate and give up dreaming? So it was with our ancestors
in Egypt. They were slaving away all those years when a new face appeared and began making promises. Moses brings a message from G‑d that they are about to be redeemed. There is a Promised Land ahead. All is not lost. There is light at the end of the tunnel. The Jews’ response? And they did not listen to Moses out of shortness of breath and from the hard labor. One commentary explains that “shortness of breath” shouldn’t be understood only

Our Rabbis: Rabbi Yisroel & Henya Karpilovsky Rabbi Zalman & Tamar Shuchat literally. The Hebrew for breath is ruach, which can also mean “spirit.” In other words, they weren’t able to heed Moses’ call not only from physical breathlessness, but because they lacked the spirit. Having suffered in bondage for so long, they no longer had the faith or hope to believe that freedom was still in the realm of the possible. It was simply beyond them. They had lost the spirit.
