In the Merit of Mashiach

Parshah Insights | July 09, 2026

In his sefer Tzror Hamor, Rav Avraham Saba presents an alternate perspective on the listing of the מסעות. He explains that the purpose of this section in the Torah is to instill emunah and strengthen our bitachon in Hashem that ultimately, everything will be set right. Here, the Torah aims to fortify our belief that we will eventually be redeemed from our exile and restored to our former glory.

Rav Avraham highlights the seemingly illogical nature of Bnei Yisrael's liberation from slavery in Mitzrayim, not only from a physical aspect but from a spiritual standpoint too. At that time, redemption seemed inconceivable because the Yidden were deemed unworthy. Nevertheless, Hashem freed them from bondage on account of the merits of Moshe and Aharon.

This is why the Torah reiterates the involvement of Moshe and Aharon in the miracles of Yetzias Mitzrayim within this parshah, despite their connection to these events being extensively discussed elsewhere. With this, the Torah underscores the significance of their merit in this process. This serves as a reminder for us not to lose hope even when we perceive ourselves as lacking in merit.

The Torah hints that, just as Bnei Yisrael were released from Egypt despite their perceived unworthiness, we too should not lose hope in the prospect of redemption. When the opportune time comes, Hashem will send Mashiach, and even if we may not be worthy of it yet, we will be redeemed in Mashiach's merit!
