דבר תורה פרשת בא

In this week’s parsha, Parshat Bo, Hashem sends the last three plagues, locust, darkness, and the death of the first born. Through the plague of darkness, we see that G-d not only has a master plan, but he always goes the extra mile for us. Hashem tells the Jewish people to go into the Egyptian homes when the Egyptians can’t see and look for the belongings that the they stole, but not to take them. Later, when Pharaoh gives Bnei Yisrael permission to leave, they go to the houses of people who stole their belongings and tell them to give the back their belongings. When the Egyptians lied and said they don’t have them, Bnei Yisrael scared them and told them where it was. The Egyptians were so scared that they gave the Jew’s belongings back. From this we see that Hashem was looking out for the nation even while they were in Egypt.

Shabbat Shalom,

דבר תורה לפרשת וארא

דבר תורה לפרשת וארא

In this week’s parsha, Rashi asks us a question. Why does Hashem start with the plague of turning water into blood? There is significance to everything that happens, what is the meaning here? Since it hardly ever rained in Egypt, the Nile was their water source. The Nile would rise and water the ground and provide the Egyptians with water. They were so dependent on this source that they would worship the Nile. With this fact, Hashem took out the Nile first, as though he was destroying their god. This shows that Hashem always has a reason for what he does. He didn’t randomly give out plagues, he made sure to punish everyone based on what they did. Each had a good “backstory” for why it was chosen.  

Shabbat Shalom,
