[Avodah] HASHEM as a Feeilng Parent in the Hagadah and Nishmas

[David Wacholder]

1. The unique Yud- Hey Vav Hey - was never shown to Avraham?? Hagadah
Maaseh Nissim Rav Yaakov Loeberbaum Z"L asks at beginning of Hallel -
[Otzzar Hatefgilos vol. 2 page "884" '] . He answers that the Name
Havayah acquired Pirsum acknowledgement in the highest echelons of
Egyptian society - Par'oh learnt his Name.

2. Little did he know - Raavan answered amazingly - Par'oh had hitories
and records. Hashem's past resume was of a reclusive Deity with only the
most dedicated followers. - Avraham had sought him for years and risked
his life for Him received acknowledgment - and for a short skirmish in
Sdom even defeated a large army. After that He returned to quiescence.

3. At the Sneh Hashem willfully changed into a permanent challenger to
all despots and dictators - He will remove bnai Yisrael from Par'oh's
despotism. That Nation - could be seen working to exhaustion and
definitely not "tuned in" to the message - Mikotzer Ruach Umei'avodah
Kasha. he announced - even the somnolent, even the Mitzrayim-identtifiers,
even Dasa and Aviram - all will be "whipped" into shape to worship Hashem -
never to be reversed.

4. This determination - even mal'achim thought Hashem had gone too far.
Par'oh thought it was a momentary mood and will soon reverse. So he
hardened his heart - why change his culture overnight? in astrology,
when a constellation is rising it is strong, when it sinks it weakens. He
kept watch for the weakening - right into Yam Suf.

5. Hashem had promised a permanent change - that is [loc. cit. below]
Ani Hashem Lo Shiniti - lo yanum v;lo yiyshan. The commitment is ongoing
and permanent.

6. By the way he points out that the word olam l'olam ha;olam ha'olamim -
in brachot and tefilos - should almost always translate as "ever-dynamic" -
chai ha'olamim - always "awake and alive" for ever. [Rambam and Rav
Saadyah perhaps Sefer yetzira are sources for the common "the world"
translation.

7. Here the point is that this is an upheaval of Hashem's new involvement
announced at the Sneh. That is the meaning of Min Ha'olam in Nishmas -
since Yetziat Mitzrayim until now. Ad ha'olam is until the last Jew
returns. That is the Klall - the prat is Mimitzraim g'altanu. See Emmet
V'yatziv for same. [Rokei'ach on chumash - was a follower in Pshat of
Raavan. ]

8. [ EV"N is self described copyist in Pisron Nishmas after Hilchos
shabbos in Machzor Vitry]

9. ===

10. When Rashbam describes secrets we must hearken. In the Parsha of
Ehkeh asher Ehkeh he hides his peirush in ATBaSH [lazy decoders can look
in chizkuni]. "i say I will be - they say He will be - yihyeh and yihveh
are same - mah hovveh l'adam"

11. Add my friend's kashya - Midrash shmos 3 times Ehkeh - ergo Hayah
hovveh yihyeh - - Does not say havayah? Tur OC 5 was careless? [Hint -
see Rokei'ach bracha after Hallel - in Siddur Rokeiach vol 2 herschler
edition]]

12. Meshech Chochmah - why no need for baal koreh to euphimize Eh yeh
when he reads it ? Only Havayah he edits out to Adnus?

13. Answers - EHH keh is self-described - He knows himself - even if
that knowledge is Primary and Highest.

14. Yihyeh - we cannot describe him - - so when we imply that we do -
we change to Adnus.

15. [Inexplicably there is a piece missing only in Coopersmith Meshech
Chochmah - manual search never solved the enigma.

16. ===

17. Using RAVN - Ehkeh is Hashem's unilateral commitment even if there
are no followers, no listeners, nobody interested - He will carry it out.
That permanent unilateral determination is Ehkeh.

18. RAAVAN - see Even Haezer of RAAVAN - Deblitzky now put out only Volume
2 edited - it is there end of Masechet Brachos [quiz - by comparign the
Pisron Nishmas with peirush on bracha of atah gibor - prove they are of
one long piece!!

19. RAAVAN - the absolute unflagging determination of hashem is shown
in Yetzias Mitzrayim - and has a name - Rachamim - wombs - Klal Yisrael
as a nation - was - Maharal fans - Baby in a Womb - . "ka'asher yisa
ha'omen et hayoneik" Moshe Rabeinu says.

20. Carry a baby - before it has a say - because look at the potential.

21. Once baby born - soon it interacts with mother - then smiles at
mother - that is --- Recognition of Mother's Rachamim

22. From then on - some amount of demand from Baby also

23. That is SHem Havayah - and why EhKeh is GAnuz - but where ??? Inside
shem Havayah!!! Now the Tur - water carrier of Rabi yehudah Hachasid -
makes sense - he is discussing Hashem's commitment to Yisrael.
We recognize Ehkeh - which has source in 3 times repeated in Midrash.

24. ==

25. Ruth - bamos permitted - Hashem's unlimited Rachamim anywhere.
Melech and Mikdash - localized - only in Mikdash - elokayich tziyon.
Their greeting - with Hashem's name.

26. ==

27. Abrabenel in Hagadah and chumash - wanted someone to say this -
and found noone.

28. ==

29. Mishna Arvei psachim - Mozgin Kos ...i omrim alav Birkas Hashir -
puzzling - which blessing-prayer? May birkas hashir Nishmas or Hallel
Hagadol. Nishmas - the secret there we just explained. Nosein Lechem lchol
basar - Ki l'olam chasdo also specifically after Ytzias Mitzrayim - though
the inspiriation that he is "Marked Present" is in the entire cosmos
and fauna and flora. [If only universal it has no place in Hagadah. The
universe can use their gifts and join the Unity. This answer Raavan
surely met, and said at the Seder.

30. ==

31. This poor person - gets cup erev pesach - the poor philosopher gets
a hearing also. How does Bracha affect hashem? Poor philosopher answers -
baby doesn't ask which vitamins mother takes - the baby trusts the mother
and needs the mother and panics when mother is out of sight momentarily.
Other mothers know.

32. Batsheva - ychi hamelech David l'olam - the same thing is said by
a guardsman in Shevet Dan - without knowing that David is making Rosh
Chodesh seudah and needs 20 loaves of bread, plates, etc. As we are in
contact with hashem we need no understanding.

33. the maid on Yam Suf says "Zeh E i l y [Keili] v'anveihu -= the direct
connection. My current coinage is dyad - DYAD - ascribing a meaning of
ongoing contact of a pair.

34. ==

35. Ani v'lo mal'ach - the unilateral Ehkeh will - Bnei Yisrael - for
the one moment - static - tacharishun - hashem carrying them.

36. ==

37. MaTZPaTZ - say mkubalim anticipating Rokeiach - Atbash of He Will Be -
is B'Rachamim - shomei kol truas amo yisrael b'rachamim - ;;; Rachamim is
a brave courageous personal commitment not a Nebbish Miskein middah. [cf.
Shnos Eliyahu Brachot on blessing one of amidah, etc. ]

38. Teimani Tichlal - [quick count] in entire Amidah only one use of
Chanun - forbearance of temporary sort - in Chanun Hamarbeh Lislo'ach. We
do not want to brazenly acclaim that we will continue - to sin - so we
say - just this moment have mercy chanun. Tachanun prayer is a failsafe
measure when we feel the Rachamim appeal missed its mark. When we feel
Rachamim we do not say it.

39. Rachamim - our potential level - Nissan - Atidin l'higa'eil.

40. ==

41. Chasal Siddur Pesach ends - in Yotzer for this Shabbat hagadol -
UVchen ulcha taaleh kedushah KI ATA kedosh yisrael umoshi'a
