Leah FeinbergHOST
And having described the defeat and the disgrace suffered by the Egyptian army in Harkamish, which weakened the standing of the empire throughout the world, Yirmiyahu now foretells the defeat of Egypt at the hands of Nebuchadnezzar.
Leah FeinbergHOST
And the remainder of this perek serves as the haftarah of Parashat Bo, in which we read the conclusion of the Ten Makot, the ten plagues that afflicted Mitzrayim at the time of the Exodus, and we'll see that this is a fitting appendix to that narrative.
Leah FeinbergHOST
The word of Hashem that he spoke to Yirmiyahu the prophet upon Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babel's arrival to attack the land of Egypt.
Leah FeinbergHOST
Hagidu v'mitzrayim v'hashmiu b'migdol v'hashmiu b'nof v'tachpenes.
Yaakov KleinHOST
There's something particularly jarring and surprising and unique about this particular teaching.
Yaakov KleinHOST
Okay, so without further ado, let's take a look at the Pesukim of which Rabbi Nachman begins the Torah.
Yaakov KleinHOST
And the Rebbe is quoting Pesukim from the beginning of Parashat Boi.
Yaakov KleinHOST
And the passage says, HaKadosh Baruch Hu invites Moshe Rabbeinu to come to the house of Pari, which is interesting, of course, because Hashem should say, Right? And there, in and of itself, is obviously a lot of material for depth and understanding why it is that Hashem would use the word boy, approach, Pari.
Yaakov KleinHOST
And we're going to get back to that.

Yaakov KleinHOST
So what do you mean, there was no room, there was no space? And the answer is that this is a metaphorical comment, a muscle, for this, that, like we just mentioned earlier, if reality was too close to the mitzias of Elikuz, in and of itself, then there would be no makum for it to exist, because even if Hashem were to have emanated it, we would not be able to look at it and say, here is creation and not creator.
Yaakov KleinHOST
It would be experienced as part and parcel of godliness, in which case nothing would be resolved, because the whole purpose of creation was that there should be the manifestation of an other creation, who at least could perceive him or herself as an other, and others as an other, in order for HaKadosh Baruch Hu's Rahmanis to be revealed.
Yaakov KleinHOST
Both from the standpoint of Hashem being compassionate toward us, and from the standpoint of sparks of godliness that manifest within each and every human being, manifesting their compassion toward others.
Fishel OsterHOST
Rab Tarfon says that it's a safek regarding both of them if there's a Bechor.
Fishel OsterHOST
So therefore, shneiem yiru achi yestavu.
Fishel OsterHOST
Both of them, there's a safek if it's a Bechor, so therefore the Israel keeps it.
Fishel OsterHOST
The kind can't take this if it's a safek 'cause I might see it in Cheveri, all of our ayah, so but the Israel keeps it, but he can't eat from it.
Fishel OsterHOST
He has to wait until it gets Amom.
Eli MenagedHOST
But if you just look at the actual mitzvah, uh, actual Midrash, this is the Midrash, ha'chodesh hazeh lachem, the Midrash actually is not found in Bereshit.
Eli MenagedHOST
It's found in, uh, i- back in, in Parsha Bo by this mitzvah ha'chodesh hazeh lachem, and this is the reason why some of the commentators say, "Why did Rashi go and search so much to find this Midrash in Yalkut Shimoni?" It's not the classic Midrash Rabbas, even though in Midrash Rabba there is a, there is a similar Midrash like this, but not exactly this way, because, uh, it says, uh, it starts off, ha'chodesh hazeh lachem amar Rabbi Yitzchak.
Eli MenagedHOST
Who's Rabbi Yitzchak? This is Rabbi Yitzchak in the Midrash, but we also know that, that Ra- that Rashi, Rashlomai Yitzchak Li or, or also known as Rashlomai Ben Yitzchak, his father's name was Yitzchak.
Eli MenagedHOST
So he says he was searching all the Midrashim, searching to find, he wanted to start the Torah with, with, with the teaching of Rabbi Yitzchak to hint to his father.
Eli MenagedHOST
Okay, so that's also hidden in that word Bereshit Bara.
Eli MenagedHOST
Okay, now I wanna look at the Zohar.
Eli MenagedHOST
The Zohar on Parashat Bo on our pasuk "וחודש הזה לכם" this is page lamed tet amud bet also has our teaching, but it says our teaching a little bit different.
Eli MenagedHOST
amar Rabbi Yitzchak says Rabbi Yitzchak, "לא הצריך אורייתא על מכתב אלא מחודש הזה לכם ראש חודשים".
