Ge'ulah Mi'Mitzrayim

Sunday, 29 January 2012

In the bracha prior to shmona esrei we say every morning: Mimitzraim gualtanu Hashem Elokeinu, mibeis avodim p'disanu, kol bechoreihem haragta, ubechorcha ge'alta, v'yam suf bakatah, v'zeidim tibata, v'didim he'evarta,.... They all are in chronological order.

But why is mimitzraim ge'altanu before mibeis avadim p'disanu? If we were still in the beis avadim, to what is the Geula referring to?

The obvious answer is that even while still working in Mitzraim, there was already a Geulah! When Moshe Rabeinu told Klal Yisroel the message from Hashem, Vaya'amen ha'am! Vayikdu Vayishtachavu!!!!(Shmos 4:31) They Believed they would leave. They had Hashem on their team! They were still in Mitzrayim and still working hard, but the end was on the horizon!

The Torah is for all generations, including our lowly one. We may be not yet be free from our personal Mitzrayim. We may still be in the vicious cycle of slips and slides. The Yetzer Horah may still be standing over us with a whip. But we are already free men. As soon as we found this site and read the handbooks, we saw for the first time that there is hope, there is a way out, we can see the end on the horizon. It may be a distant horizon, but it is there and it is achievable. WE ARE HASHEM'S NATION! Starting NOW!!! The Geulah was already; it was the day we came to GuardYourEyes.org!
