Remembering the Exodus"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>It is a biblical commandment to remember the Exodus every day, as the Torah says: \u201cSo that you remember the day you left Egypt every day of your life\u201d (Devarim 16:3). The Torah seems to add a superfluous word (\u201c<em>kol yemei \u0125ayekha<\/em>\u201d instead of just \u201c<em>yemei \u0125ayekha<\/em>\u201d), from which the Sages derive that the mitzva to remember the Exodus is performed both during the day and at night (<em>Berakhot<\/em> 12b). This mitzva can be fulfilled by reciting any verse that discusses leaving Egypt or by mentioning the Exodus in one\u2019s own words.<\/p>\n<p>There are two reasons why the <em>Va-yomer<\/em> paragraph was incorporated into the recitation of the <em>Shema<\/em>. First, it mentions the mitzva of <em>tzitzit<\/em> that reminds us of all the <em>mitzvot<\/em>. Second, it discusses the Exodus from Egypt. It is therefore customary to say <em>Va-yomer<\/em> even at night, for although there is no need to mention the mitzva of <em>tzitzit<\/em> then, there is still reason to say it for the sake of remembering the Exodus (see <em>Berakhot<\/em> 14b, and <em>Kessef Mishneh<\/em>, Laws of <em>Keri\u2019at Shema<\/em> 1:2-3).<\/p>\n<p>There is a difference between the mitzva of <em>Keri\u2019at<\/em> <em>Shema<\/em> and the mitzva of remembering the Exodus from Egypt. The mitzva of <em>Keri\u2019at<\/em> <em>Shema<\/em> can only be fulfilled in the first three hours of the day because that is the time we wake up, whereas the daytime mitzva of remembering the Exodus can be performed throughout the entire day. However, following the enactment of the Sages, we fulfill the mitzva of remembering the Exodus by saying <em>Shema<\/em>. The Exodus is also mentioned in the <em>berakhot<\/em> of <em>Emet Ve-yatziv<\/em> in <em>Sha\u0125arit<\/em> and <em>Emet Ve-emuna<\/em> in <em>Ma\u2019ariv<\/em>, and one who recites them fulfills his obligation of remembering the Exodus even if he did not recite the <em>Shema<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding women, some <em>poskim<\/em> say that since the mitzva to remember the Exodus from Egypt lasts continuously throughout the day and night, it is not a time-bound mitzva, and women are therefore obligated to fulfill it. Hence, women are required to recite <em>Emet Ve-yatziv<\/em> in <em>Sha\u0125arit<\/em> and <em>Emet Ve-emuna<\/em> in <em>Ma\u2019ariv<\/em> (MA). Still, according to the majority of <em>poskim<\/em>, because there is a specific mitzva to remember during the day and a specific mitzva to remember at night, it is considered a time-bound mitzva from which women are exempt (<em>Sha\u2019agat Aryeh<\/em> \u00a713; MB 70:2).<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, a woman who wishes to perform this mitzva is praiseworthy. It is preferable for her to fulfill this mitzva by reciting <em>Emet Ve-yatziv<\/em>, because <em>Va-yomer<\/em> mentions the mitzva of <em>tzitzit<\/em>, from which women are exempt, whereas <em>Emet Ve-yatziv<\/em>, which discusses the redemption of Israel, pertains to both men and women. Moreover, if she recites this <em>berakha<\/em> followed immediately by the <em>Amida<\/em>, she will have fulfilled the enhancement of juxtaposing redemption and prayer (see below, section 13).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is a biblical commandment to remember the Exodus every day, as the Torah says: \u201cSo that you remember the day you left Egypt every day of your life\u201d (Devarim 16:3).
