46:5 – So Jacob set out from Beer-sheba. The sons of Israel put their father Jacob and their children and their wives in the wagons that Pharaoh had sent <\/span>asher shalach<\/em> <\/span>to transport him;<\/span>
\n<\/span>28 – He had sent <\/span>shalach<\/span><\/em> Judah ahead of him to Joseph, to point the way before him to Goshen. So when they came to the region of Goshen,<\/span><\/p>\n

A simple word, and root: \u05e9-\u05dc-\u05d7, <\/span>sh-l-ch<\/span><\/em>, <\/span><\/i>\u201csend.\u201d Pharaoh sends the wagons, and Jacob sends Judah along ahead (though Judah probably did not sing to Jacob the words of Sam Cooke – \u201cwhoa oh whoa – you send me\u2026<\/span>\u201d).<\/span><\/p>\n

That would have made Judah the first <\/span>shaliach<\/span><\/em>, \u201cemissary\u201d from Israel to the Diaspora. Although whereas today\u2019s <\/span>shlichim<\/em> <\/span>at least nominally promote <\/span>aliyah<\/span><\/em>, moving to Israel – Judah was going ahead to prepare the first big <\/span>yerida<\/span><\/em>, moving away from Israel. While (only) 70 souls (or perhaps 66, depending on how you count) – it was the entire Jewish people of the time. Perhaps the Chabad would count him among the first <\/span>shluchim<\/span><\/em>, <\/span><\/i>which is what they call their emissaries to spread Torah and mitzvot, \u201ccommandments.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

One mitzvah we get from this root is <\/span>mishloach manot<\/span><\/em>, the \u201csending\u201d of gifts of food on Purim. Though an earlier \u201cmitzvah\u201d would be God\u2019s demand of Pharaoh, which we will meet in just a few chapters: \u201c<\/span>Shlach et ami<\/span><\/em>,\u201d \u201cLet my people go!\u201d (literally, \u201csend [away] my people\u201d). For that, though, we need Paul Robeson, not Sam Cooke. <\/span><\/p>\n

Regarding prayers and their recital, synagogue goers might be giving thought to who will be leading the prayers, a job known as <\/span>shaliach tzibbur<\/span><\/em> (feminine: <\/span>shlichat tzibbur<\/span><\/em>) \u201cthe one sent by the public,\u201d or congregation, to represent them. Let us hope they do their job willingly, and not say as Moses did, to God who wanted him to go to Egypt (Exodus 4:13): \u201c<\/span>Shlach-na beyad tishlach<\/span><\/em>,\u201d <\/span><\/i>\u201cpray send by whose hand you would send (based on Fox and Alter) – meaning, send somebody else! God didn\u2019t like that answer too much.<\/span><\/p>\n","image":{"ID":103707,"id":103707,"title":"-624b52562bf22--624b52562bf24gen46-milim shelach.gif","filename":"624b52562bf22-624b52562bf24gen46-milim-shelach.gif.gif","filesize":0,"url":"https:\/\/cetwpuploads.blob.core.windows.net\/wp929\/uploads\/2018\/09\/624b52562bf22-624b52562bf24gen46-milim-shelach.gif.gif","link":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/milimilim-the-hebrew-corner-gen-46\/624b52562bf22-624b52562bf24gen46-milim-shelach-gif\/","alt":"","author":"7","description":"","caption":"","name":"624b52562bf22-624b52562bf24gen46-milim-shelach-gif","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":40032,"date":"2022-04-04 20:17:26","modified":"2022-04-04 20:17:41","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/gif","type":"image","subtype":"gif","icon":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":640,"height":480,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/cetwpuploads.blob.core.windows.net\/wp929\/uploads\/2018\/09\/624b52562bf22-624b52562bf24gen46-milim-shelach.gif-150x150.gif","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/cetwpuploads.blob.core.windows.net\/wp929\/uploads\/2018\/09\/624b52562bf22-624b52562bf24gen46-milim-shelach.gif-300x225.gif","medium-width":300,"medium-height":225,"medium_large":"https:\/\/cetwpuploads.blob.core.windows.net\/wp929\/uploads\/2018\/09\/624b52562bf22-624b52562bf24gen46-milim-shelach.gif.gif","medium_large-width":640,"medium_large-height":480,"large":"https:\/\/cetwpuploads.blob.core.windows.net\/wp929\/uploads\/2018\/09\/624b52562bf22-624b52562bf24gen46-milim-shelach.gif.gif","large-width":640,"large-height":480,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/cetwpuploads.blob.core.windows.net\/wp929\/uploads\/2018\/09\/624b52562bf22-624b52562bf24gen46-milim-shelach.gif.gif","1536x1536-width":640,"1536x1536-height":480,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/cetwpuploads.blob.core.windows.net\/wp929\/uploads\/2018\/09\/624b52562bf22-624b52562bf24gen46-milim-shelach.gif.gif","2048x2048-width":640,"2048x2048-height":480,"post_full_size":"https:\/\/cetwpuploads.blob.core.windows.net\/wp929\/uploads\/2018\/09\/624b52562bf22-624b52562bf24gen46-milim-shelach.gif.gif","post_full_size-width":640,"post_full_size-height":480,"home_baner":"https:\/\/cetwpuploads.blob.core.windows.net\/wp929\/uploads\/2018\/09\/624b52562bf22-624b52562bf24gen46-milim-shelach.gif-560x420.gif","home_baner-width":560,"home_baner-height":420}},"embedded_video":"","video_duration":"","show_fb_comments":true,"credit_media":"
