Dvar Torah for Parshat VaEra 5765

Based on Likutey Moharan II, Lesson #7

Eight years ago this week we sent out our first weekly dvar Torah. I think it might be time to start again. So, with God's help, here we go again. Maybe just some short pieces till we get back in the swing of things.

"Therefore, say to the Jewish people, 'I am God. I will remove you... save you... redeem you... and take you to Myself as a nation... (Exodus 6:6–7).

Rebbe Nachman would offer encouragement to the darei matah (the nether dwellers), those of us who feel that Pharaoh is our master and no one is coming to tell him, "Let My people go." No, says, Rebbe Nachman. God is with you, near you and beside you. You don't have to wait long or go far for relief. The God you seek, the God Whose presence will ease your misery, is already with you. What you consider your feeble efforts are precious to Him and keep Him ever near to you. Don't give up.

agutn Shabbos!
Shabbat Shalom!
