PARSHAS VOHEIROH 5786
Explains the Chasam Sofer ZY”A, Avos אבות can also be interpreted as “The Seekers”, those who want, from the language of לא יאבה , Hashem shows himself only to those who want that He should show himself to them. So too, interprets the Rambam, הקהא רשא הקהא, I will be with those who want that I should be with them.

וארא. )שמות ו' ג'( I appeared (Shemos 6:3)
Rashi Hakodosh explains on this “Voheiroh el Ho’Ovos”. The Admor of Krashnovitz ZT”L said in the name of HGH”K R’ Simcha Bunim of Parshischoh ZY”A “I revealed myself you should know who I am "א - ח"חפדו ק"לכע תובא "ל והמב"י:

Seforim Hakedoshim give an explanation “Avos” can also indicate “want”, Hashem reveals Himself to those who aspire for Him. The Kotzker ZY”A said on “Ahyei Mikom Kevoidoi – Where is the place of His glory” (Kedushoh, Shabbos and Y”T) “Vie Men Lozt Ehm Nor Ahrein – Wherever He is Welcomed”. If a person elevates all of his actions to Hashem, (even and specifically those that seem mundane), then he is Crowning Hashem on all his actions.
ולקחתם אתכם לי לעם וידעתם כי אני ה' )ו' ז'(
Since Hakodosh Boruch Hu Himself, we can’t comprehend, as it says, ללכ היב הסיפת הבשחמ תילno mind can attain his greatness. But we, Bnei Yisroel can attain the light of the Shechinoh through Torah and Mitzvos that Hashem gave us. That is ולקחתי I shall take you to give you the Torah. And through the Torah, ה ינא יכ םתעדיו' you shall know that I am Hashem. You will have knowledge of the light - shine of the Shechinoh.

(ט"כ 'ו) הערפ לא רבד 'וגו השמ לא 'ה רבדיו
Why does it say Hashem commanded Moshe Rabbeinu a second time and Moshe Rabbeinu’s answer? Rashi explains, it is to say that it’s repeating what was mentioned beforehand. Explains Rav Moshe Feinstein ZY”A, that there are great issues that must be repeated again, and it is not sufficient to say it once. It must be repeated to be מרמז and be done with extra Zrizus. From this we must learn to numerous subjects more so that we must hasten ourselves steadily more and more.

תומש רפס : םִיָרְצִמ תוֹלְבִס תַחַתִּמ םֶכְתֶא איִצוֹמַּה םֶכיֵק˄ֱא 'ה יִנֲא ז"פ 'ו קרפ
I am your Hashem your Almighty, who takes you out from under the burdens of Mitzrayim (Egypt).[6:7] This Possuk is explained by Rav Henoch of Aleksander as follows. The greatest Gollus is the fact that The Yidden sunk into a situation that they were Soivel – accepted the Gollus, as if it were "status quo" for them. Says The Possuk, םִיָרְצִמ תוֹלְבִס תַחַתִּמ םֶכְתֶא איִצוֹמַּה ; I, Hashem is the force, redeeming you from this awful situation of acceptance of this terrible Gollus Mitzrayim The Chidushei Ho'rim gives a similar explanation, on the Possuk שמות ב' י''א( ) םָת˄ְבִסְבּ אְרַיַּו They were Soivel (accepted) the Gollus. Such a position is the worst מצב , situation that a Yid could find himself in, "status quo" – in Gollus.
As Rav Shlomo of Karlin ZY”A said. "The worst tragedy is when a Yid forgets that he is a Ben Melech – Son of The King – Hashem, Our Father".
At the Burial of Yaakov Avienu, Eisav the brother of Yaakov Avienu (who sold his Bichorah – firstborn rights to his younger brother Yaakov Avienu) started to "make trouble", claiming that the plot in The Me'oras Hamachpeiloh in Chevron belonged to him. A heated debate erupted between The Shevotim (Sons of Yaakov) and Eisov, regarding the ownership rights. Naftoli the son of Yaakov Avienu was immediately sent back to Mitzrayim to bring the contract of ownership – the proof of the sale of the Bechorah. Chushim the son of Don, who was deaf, was observing the situation. Seeing what was happening Chushim who was not involved in any negotiations, took action in his hands and beheaded Eisov. From here we can learn that when we separate ourselves from foreign society, we are then more secure, as there are no two sides to the coin, we know the truth and we are not in any way swayed to ideas that are strange to us.
- Rav Chaim Shmuelevitz.
The Medrash asks how did the frogs enter the great marble palaces of distinguished Egyptians, during Makas Tzfardeyah. Answers the Medrash that the frog proclaimed to the marble “open a passageway for me that I may enter and fulfill the will of my creator”. The marble split open as a passageway for the frogs. Expounds The Divrei Shmuel, so too, must every Jew say to his blocked (heavy) heart, open up that I may fulfill the will of Hashem.
