Parshas Ki Savo:
Arami oveid avi vayered mitzraymah vayagar sham bimsei me'at vayhi sham l'goy gadol atzum varav. Vayarei'u osanu hamitzrim vayanunu vayitnu aleinu avoda kasha. Vanitz'ak el Hashem Elokai avoseinu... (26:5-7)
Arami = The Yezter Hora (Ohr Hachaim Hakodosh)
Alternatively;
Aramy = my haughtiness, my Ego.
Oveid = destroyed
Avi = my striving (a loshon of Lo yo've Hashem slo'ach lo).
vayered mitzraymah = and led me down to Mitzraim, the Ervas Ha'aretz
vayagar sham bimsei me'at = even though, initially it was just a small dose of lusting,
vayhi sham l'goy gadol atzum varav = the lust grew & grew. It fed on itself & morphed into a mighty monster!
Vayarei'u osanu hamitzrim vayanunu vayitnu aleinu avoda kasha = Lust made my life unmanageable!
Vanitz'ak el Hashem Elokai avoseinu... = We asked for help from a Higher Power who CAN restore us to sanity...
