Page 10 PAGE 2 MESSAGE FROM THE ROSH YESHIVA Sefer Shemos is the story of the emergence of Klal Yisrael from a small tribe of the progeny of Yaakov, to a thriving nation with millions of descendants, who accepted upon themselves the yoke of Torah. It is the story of a nation that went out to a desert and sowed the seeds of the future – a future that thrives to this very day. More than sixty years ago, my grandfather Rav Yaakov Kamenetzky, zt”l, charged my father and mother with the formidable task, “Go to the desert and plant the seeds of Torah.” What started as a fledgling school with six or seven boys, flourished more than a hundred fold. With institutions of tefilah, and higher Torah learning, all the outgrowth of that initial foray into the desert, my father’s impact is not only eternal but ever-expanding. This year’s dinner will mark both the commemoration of those accomplishments and a commitment to the renewal, refurbishment and expansion of the Torah facility he built brick by brick in 1964. Whether you are a student, an alumnus, a parent or community member, my father’s vision touched your life, and I hope that you will join us in honoring his.

During the course of these arguments, Moshe asks two questions: Who am I to go before Pharaoh? And what merit do the Jewish People have to be redeemed from Egypt? (see Shemos 3:11 and Rashi ibid.) Hashem replies that Moshe is not going on his own before Pharaoh; he is going as Hashem’s messenger. As for the merit of the Jewish people to "בהוציאך את העם ממצרים תעבדון את האלוקים על leave, Hashem replies When you will take the nation out from Egypt you will serve“ ,ההר הזה" G-d upon this mountain” (Shemos 3:12).
