Daily Chizuk #1055
Weekly Parasha
Attributing the Blessing: Appreciating Hashem over Man
Parashat Shemot: In A Big Way
The pasuk says in this week's Parasha, Shemot, that Pharaoh decreed all the Jewish baby boys should be thrown into the Yeor. But the Torah testifies that the Jewish midwives feared Hashem and did not listen to Pharaoh, but rather they kept the babies alive. The Chafetz Chayim asked, the words, "ותחיינה את הילדים," that they kept the babies alive, seems superfluous, being that the Torah already told us they feared Hashem and did not listen to Pharaoh.
We should always do our best to go out of our way to help others, even if we may be exempt, because we never know what each act will produce.
Shabbat Shalom!
