¨From the Rabbi’s Study¨

Rashi cites a Midrash very early on in this weeks Parsha that expresses the view that only one fifth of the Jewish people left Egypt in the grand exodus that we read about this Shabbos and know full well from the Pesach seder. At first glance this would seem preposterous. After 10 plagues years of persecution and undeniable miracles one would have thought every individual would be so enthusiastic to get up and leave immediately. Yet Rashi prominently cites this Midrash and its commentary is part of our traditional lore. There are of course many traditional interpretations of this Midrash. For the time being however I’ll leave it to you to consider what might have gone through the minds and emotions of a persecuted nation, the hardships realities and naysayers. Its important that we study, analyze and understand Chazal in the traditional ways of the mesorah which will help guide us in the present world in which we live.
Good Shabbos
Rabbi A. M. Abramson
