PLOWING AHEAD
As the Jewish nation begins their glorious exodus from Egypt, the Egyptians have a sudden change of heart and are in hot pursuit of their newly freed slaves. Bnei Yisrael panic and Moshe calms their fears saying ה' ילחם לכם ואתם תחרישון. The simple understanding is that Hashem will fight for you and you, Bnei Yisrael, will remain silent.
Homiletically, it can be understood as saying that Hashem will fight for you but you must keep plowing ahead (from the word choresh, חורש). Moshe is communicating to his flock that no matter the circumstances we must remain committed and loyal to doing the right thing and Hashem always has our backs.
This critical message is especially resonant leading up to Tu B'Shvat, the New Year for trees celebrated in the dead of winter. On the surface, things look bleak. The landscape is barren and there is no apparent end in sight. Nevertheless, we are faithful that a radical change is taking place inside and the trees will eventually blossom and bear succulent fruit.
Our duty is to keep on going and to remain committed to fulfilling our duties as an eved Hashem. Keep up and intensify our commitment to davening, performance of mitzvos and chesed. In the merit of staying strong, we should taste the delicious fruit of our amazing efforts.
Wishing you all a wonderful Shabbos!
Rabbi David Claman
