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,
