MESSAGE FROM RABBI Grossman:

 

Parshas:  Va'era

 

 "I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and increase My miracles and wonders in the land of Egypt."

(Shemos 7:3)

The hardening of Pharaoh's heart is the subject of much discussion in the Torah commentaries: what happened to the concept of free will?

Rashi explains that Hashem knew that the wicked Pharaoh would never repent sincerely. That being the case, let Pharaoh's fate serve as an example to the rest of us.

Sforno, on the other hand, writes that Hashem never took away Pharaoh's free will at all; He simply gave Pharaoh the strength to withstand the plagues, because otherwise Pharaoh might have given in out of pressure - not out of repentance. By hardening Pharaoh's heart, Hashem actually preserved his free will - enabling him to make an un-coerced choice based on what he truly wished.

Actually, all of us experience something akin to Pharaoh. In Shaarei Ohr, R' Yitzchak Blazer writes that anyone who believes in a Creator and commits a sin is really performing an irrational act. The consequences of sin are just not worth it. Why, then, do we sin? Because in order to enable free will, Hashem created a disconnect between our knowledge of His presence and the emotions that should naturally follow. Thus, we can be perfectly aware of the truth while cheerfully choosing to do exactly the opposite.

How, then, can we hope to defeat the Yetzer HaRa?

Rav Blazer explains that just as these emotions were taken from us, they can also be restored to us. The study of Mussar - the areas of Torah that address moral values, our purpose in life, and the consequences of our actions - has the power to activate our latent knowledge and kindle the emotional power that will enable us to overcome our challenges. This is the secret weapon we wield against the Yetzer HaRa. Without Mussar, self-improvement is like "trying to see without eyes, or hear without ears" (Rav Yisroel Salanter); but with Mussar, the tools for spiritual growth are at our disposal.
