🎧 Shabbos HaGadol

The nes of Shabbos Hagadol, the Bechorei Mitzrayim waging war on their own nation to force Pharaoh's hand, looks at first like a natural act of self-preservation with no real gain for the Yidden. The deeper point is that it's the one moment in Yetzias Mitzrayim where kelipah didn't just get eliminated but actively turned itself toward kedushah, an it'hapcha chashucha l'nehora that even surpasses the transformation seen at Purim. That pattern is the root of what Mashiach's coming will complete on a permanent scale, and a template for every person's own daily יציאת מצרים against the yetzer hara.
