Episode Synopsis
- בשלח is a פרשה of transition in the deepest sense: ויהי בשלח. It talks about the transition of walking through the איל, the completion of כריתת הברית with אברהם אבינו who needs to accept the nature of the process of גלות וגאולה – and turns it into crossing the threshold of the איל that leads out of מצרים towards, ostensibly, freedom. And yet בני ישראל discover that the aisle/ threshold it leads to is instead a complete loss of all structure, even to the extent thatהקב"ה cancels the responsiveness on any level of all 4 כתות! They have no way of recognizing how they are meant to act, they have no sense of structure and therefore left with ויהי.
The response to this is that the breakdown of what they thought was the source of freedom – language itself פי החירות became recognized at time of שירה as being limited to מי כמוך באלים הש"ם such there would always be limitations in language of human ability to conceptualize and therefore became a source of further nihilism and terror, which becomes the confrontation with עמלק in the end of the פרשה! But what happens is thatמי כמוך is transported into an actual human מיכה who becomes להלכה the source ofמי כמוך and becomes the expression of the alternative mode of גאולה that משה רבינו had initially insisted upon in הצל לא הצלת who became מיכה, who in setting up טרפים that was not meant to be taken seriously by משה רבינו’s own grandson who now took this as his פרנסה and who becomes now the inversion of לוי וכהן as happens in story of פסל מיכה, and becomes the actualization of משה רבינו’s feeling that the human must have a place and there must be structure without it we are doomed. This becomes the search of the pleasantness of a place to live, unbothered, in which דן achieves ליש, and goes out in the very recognition that “משה רבינו’s grandchild should not be here, take him and make him the person who represents for them the solution to the pain of people who are מרי נפש and who are so threatening to everyone else until they find themselves a place”.
The power of פסל מיכה becomes now expressed in every generation’s attempt to personalize the nature of תורה – whereas according to the רמב"ם the whole point of תורה here in בשלח is to make us understand that the process is not meant to be an absolute, it is meant to be process ולא נחם אלקי"ם! This becomes the solution to עמלק: כי יד על כס י"ה מלחמה השם בעמלק makes us recognize that the whole idea of מעשה בראשית is the process of מדור דור is the element of תשובה which leads to ויסעו מרפידים ויבואו מדבר סיני is the nature of the achievement of a world through process – not that the process is a compromise but rather that that process itself the most profound sharing of the nature of הקב"ה’s Being as expressed in מעשה בראשית; a story of a road, of בשביל ישראל!
That road itself, which is the road of תשובה is not all meant for nothing until the achievement of תשובה achievement of the end but rather the greatest aspect of it is the very fact we experience the process! This becomes the שלמות הכסא in the end, this is why פסל מיכה is so important in the creation of מלכות and becomes therefore בימים ההם אין מלך בישראל.
