Just as there, we were required to perform physical labor, so too now, we are required to fulfill a spiritual labor. The spiritual meaning of “vayimariru es chayei avoseinu b’avodah kasha, b’chomer uv’lveinim uv’chol avodah basadeh”:“Avoseinu”: the Avos= Middos, which come from Sechel. The Neshama is, from the outset, equipped with Ahavah and Yirah. But the Neshama also has Bechirah (i.e. guf/NH”B, which conceals the latent AHV”Y), and thus it needs to be able to elicit this AHV”Y.The ideal way to draw out the latent AHV”Y of the Neshamah is through Hisbonenus, Sechel.“Avodah kasha”: In Galus, we are lacking this capacity of proper Hisbonenus (garon/charon/mitzrayim), because Hashem’s presence isn’t obvious (anochi ered imach). The way we overcome our natural tendencies is by accessing our natural Emunah through Davening out loud (kol meorer kavanah). [In this case, vayimariru describes our inability to appreciate Elokus; it describes the problem of Galus]Even in Davening, we experience M”Z. This makes us realize that we are in Galus, and should cause us to ask Hashem to have mercy on Himself, on the part of Him that is in us (NH”E) and is not revealed. The way we reach this is through Merirus (which is also avodah kasha), which leads to beseeching Hashem’s Mercy, which can then awaken our Love to Hashem. [In this case, vayimariru is the way we deal with the problem of Galus]. Even in Davening, we experience M”Z.
