Does anyone out here know a source that every boundary is rooted in the meytzar of mitzrayim and that evey geulah is rooted in the geulah of mitzrayim? (i remember this idea but not a source...).
also, how does THIS practically relate to a yid breaking out of his personal nisayon?
thanks!
Dear Friends,
The month of Nissan is one of healing, as it is sandwiched between Adar and Iyar. These two months’ names form an acronym of the words “Ani Hashem Rofecha - I am Hashem your Healer” (Shemos 15:26). In that verse, Hashem promised the Jewish people that as long as they adhered to the Torah, He would be their healer from “all the ailments of Mitzrayim.”
On a simple level, the verse refers to the physical plagues inflicted upon the Egyptians, but the word “all” indicates additional sicknesses as well. What other illnesses are alluded to in this verse that Hashem will heal us from?
Perhaps it alludes to the sickness that was inflicted upon the Jews in Mitzrayim, as the Torah says “And Hashem heard our voices, and He saw our affliction, our labor, and our anxieties” (Devarim 26:7). In Mitzrayim, the Jews suffered emotional torment from their near hopeless plight, until Hashem heard their cries and saved them. He thus promises to heal us not only from physical illness that plagued the Egyptians, but from emotional illness that troubles us as well.
May the month of Nissan bring us healing from “all” ailments, both physical and emotional.
