Opportunity of a setback: Parashat Bo (Exodus 10:1-13:16)
Rabbi Dov Fischer
January 16, 2013
This week’s parasha is one of the most central to the Jewish narrative. We read of the final plagues, the storm brought by God’s mighty hand and outstretched arm gathering on the border of Egypt, the Divine command to prepare for the Exodus by baking the matzot and eating the bitter herbs. It is the essence of the Passover story. Our greatest glory — Divine liberation — emanated from the nadir of our enslavement.
Divine Presence

As we journey through Exodus we see the God of great power and might, the God who sends plagues, attacks Egypt and toys with Pharaoh\’s heart, all while trying to impress both the Israelites and Egyptians.
