In this week's parasha , Va'era , we read about the makot that Hashem sent upon the Egyptians. These upcoming parshiyot describing Yetziat Mitzrayim form the foundation of our emunah in Hashem. It is here that Hashem demonstrated to the world that He is actively involved in every aspect of life. On Pesach, we drink four cups of wine corresponding to the four leshonot of geulah mentioned in the parasha- והוצאתי, והצלתי, וגאלתי, ולקחתי . There is, however, one more lashon , והבאתי , which refers to Hashem bringing the Jewish people into Eretz Yisrael. The Seforno asks why this lashon was not fulfilled with the generation that left Mitzrayim. He explains, based on what is written later in Parashat Ki Tisa , that this generation did not fully believe that Hashem could conquer the mighty kings inhabiting the land. While they witnessed Hashem defeat Pharaoh, they doubted His ability to defeat the 31 kings in Canaan. The pasuk says, " ויאמן העם " —the people believed Hashem could take them out of Mitzrayim, and because of this belief, they merited to see the exodus. But since they lacked belief in והבאתי , they did not experience its fulfillment. It was the next generation, which fully believed, that merited entering the Promised Land. When we believe in Hashem's limitless abilities, it creates a zechut that brings us divine assistance and enables us to witness Hashem's salvations. The Sefer Sas B'Imratecha shares a story of a taxi driver in Israel who had recently begun drawing closer to Torah and mitzvot . He attended classes regularly and was diligently practicing what he learned. One day, he drove a passenger from the center of the city all the way to Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital at the edge of the city. Not wanting to return with an empty cab, he waited outside the hospital, hoping to find another fare. Ten minutes passed, then 20, then 30—no one approached his cab. People were leaving the hospital either by bus or private car. After 45 minutes, another taxi pulled up, dropped off a passenger, and parked nearby. A few minutes later, someone exited the hospital, walked directly to the other taxi, got in, and left. This driver was frustrated. He had waited 45 minutes with no customers, while the other driver, who had just arrived, immediately got a fare. Where was the fairness? Then he remembered a lesson from one of his classes: All of a person's income comes solely from Hashem. Whatever is meant for a person will reach them, one way or another. With this thought, he calmed down and let go of his frustration. Moments later, a man who appeared to be a high-ranking official approached his cab and asked in English if he could take him to the north of Israel. The driver agreed. The man asked for the fare, and the driver replied, "A thousand." The man got into the taxi, and when they arrived at their destination, he handed the driver ten folded bills. As the driver counted the money, he realized they were hundred-dollar bills. He had meant to charge 1,000 shekels, but the passenger had paid him 1,000 dollars instead. Feeling it was wrong to keep the money, the driver looked for the man to return the overpayment. However, the man was nowhere in sight. The driver then thanked Hashem for this unexpected gift. Just moments after reaffirming his belief in Hashem's hashgacha over his parnasa , he had earned the largest fare he had ever received from a single ride. When we fully believe in Hashem, it creates a zechut that brings about salvation. Shabbat Shalom.
