Shiur from Rabbi Elimelech Kohn Ztl on \u05e4\u05e1\u05d7, discussing the topic of Galus and antisemitism.

Discussed:

\n
• Analyzing the Pesukim in Ki Savo that the Haggadah Darshens to elaborate on the story of \u05d9\u05e6\u05d9\u05d0\u05ea \u05de\u05e6\u05e8\u05d9\u05dd and how the Jews became a nation as they were metaphorically born in Mitzrayim, in Galus.
\n
• The Meshech Chochma writes that Yaakov Avinu established for future generations the strategy Jews use to survive in Galus and avoid assimilation. This is what the Pasuk means \u05de\u05dc\u05de\u05d3 \u05e9\u05dc\u05d0 \u05d9\u05e8\u05d3 \u05d9\u05e2\u05e7\u05d1 \u05dc\u05d4\u05e9\u05ea\u05e7\u05e2, that Yaakov Avinu taught us not to settle in Galus.
\n
• The Meshach Chochma continues and writes about the cycle of Jewish settlement in various countries throughout Galus. It begins with the painful birth of the community which then flourishes both physically and spiritually. Afterward, the Yidden become comfortable and settle in their adopted country, declining spiritually until they ultimately end in prosecution and exile.
