Schneerson Adapted from Chassidic Dimensions PARSHAS SHEMOS 5785 Shemos SHEMOS C HILDREN - L ARGE AND S MALL The first time the Jewish people are referred to as "G-d's children" is in the Torah portion of Shemos, where the verse states: "Israel is My son, My firstborn."1 The term "firstborn," as Rashi explains,2 denotes maturity. The love of a parent for a very young child, however, is an elemental love - one that transcends reason - since an extremely young child does not display any particular qualities for which he should be loved; the love that emanates from parents to young children derives entirely from the fact that the parents and the child are essentially one. However, G-d also shows His elemental love for the Jewish people - a love that springs from the fact that every Jew is "truly a part of G-d above."5 This love - similar to that felt by parents for a very small child - does not depend at all on the quality of the Jews' spiritual service. This elemental love is revealed when Jews serve G-d in the manner of a small child; when they feel small and humble in G-d's presence, and obey Him as a small child obeys his parents - out of a sense of inherent loyalty, even when they fail to understand G-d's reasoning. 5 Torah Studies The reason the verse states "Israel is My son, My firstborn" will be understood accordingly: When seeking to indicate G-d's essential love for the Jewish people in and of itself, the metaphor used is that of a very small child, for in that instance the elemental love is felt naturally. 6 Shemos C OUNTING BY N AME The Torah portion Shemos begins by saying:1 "And these are the names of the children of Israel who came to Egypt...." Rashi comments:2 "Although He counted them by name while they were alive, He counted them again after their passing in order to make known (and demonstrate) his love for them; for they are likened to the stars, which He takes out and brings in by
