The Frogs' Reward? - Mishpatim 5769


It says in the Posuk, (לַכֶּלֶב תַּשְׁלִכוּן אֹתוֹ), that we give the Nevailah to the Kelev. So it is well known that Chazal say that the Kelev deserves a reward for keeping quiet on the night of Makas Bechoirois. The Klovim get rewarded, very good. What about the Tzefar’dim (the frogs), where is their reward for jumping into the ovens?

The Velt says a Teretz, that to be quiet, not to bark, is much harder than jumping into an oven.  Therefore, the Kelev gets the S’char. The message is Emes. Sh’tika is very difficult. The Rambam writes on Pirkei Avos, Sh’tika Yafeh L’chachomim, Kal Vachoimer L’tipshim.
