Shalom Aleichim. A beautiful vort about Parashas Ki Sisa, practical everyday life. Listen to this. You're going to love it. Says the pasuk, when Moshe Rabbeinu was trying to appease Hakadosh Boruch Hu, after the Cheit HaEigel, how can you possibly achieve -- how do you make Hashem happy after the Cheit HaEigel? It's the worst cheit since the cheit of Adam HaRishon. How are you going to make that better?
So listen to what Moshe Rabbeinu says. Listen to this beautiful, beautiful pasuk and a tremendous lesson that we learn from it. The pasuksays, "V'yichal Moshe et p'nei Hashem", Moshe petitions the face of Hashem Elokav. "V'yomer", he said, "lamah Hashem yechereh ap'cha", Hashem, why are You angry "b'amecha", with Your nation, "asher hotzeisa meretz Mitzraim", which You took out of Egypt?
Now, if You're going to say why You're angry, I can understand, but why You mentioned taking them out of Egypt? What's the point? So Moshe Rabbeinu says to HaKadosh Baruch Hu, listen to this, it's amazing, it's (inaudible 00:00:50) for us. It's everything. Listen to this. He says, "HaKadosh Baruch Hu, when You took them out of Mitzraim, wasn't there an accusation against the Jewish people, halalu v'avodah zorah, halalu v'avodah zorah, both these and these are avdei avodah zorah, both the Mitzri'im and the Jewish were avdei avodah zorah. You knew when You took them out that they were avdei avodah zorah. So now that they're messing up in the same area, why are You angry?
This is an incredible lesson for us because sometimes we get married and we know that our wife or our husband has a certain chisaron, a certain lack, but we marry them anyway. Then afterwards when we see that lack coming out, we have no right to be upset. We say, listen, we knew that already. The truth is, it's the same thing with us. Because when they married us, they knew that we had this chisaron. When the boss hired us, he knew we had this lack and still he hired us and we want him to overlook that lack. It's the same thing with us. When you see a lack in somebody else, you have to say to yourself, you know what, everybody has lacks.
I have lacks and I'm counting on the fact that HaKadosh Baruch Hu knew that we had a lack, a chisaron, we had certain problems with us before He took us out of Mitzraim, so He doesn't destroy us. That's what Moshe Rabbeinu counted on and that's what we need to do ourselves.
A real relationship is knowing that I love this person, I care about this person, a lovable person, a good person and they have their problems. Everybody has problems. There's nothing or nobody in Olam Hazeh that doesn't have certain lacks and certain problems. We're like that the same way. So when you have a relationship and you see that someone has a problem, say to yourself, just like Moshe Rabbeinu said to Hashem, Hashem, You knew they had problems and still You accepted them, we also do the same thing. There's a wonderful phrase, love is blind and friendship tries not to notice. Have a wonderful Shabbos.
