Parshas Bo (5762)
by Mordechai Dolinsky
The plagues the Egyptians were subject to in our sedra are an awesome unveiling of the Divine Kingdom and Hashem’s sovereignty in the universe. Yet they failed to allow this to enter their hearts and to be a driving force to submit themselves to the kingdom of Hashem and correct their wicked ways. This phenomenon is absolutely mind-boggling and its implications are awesome.
In the course of the trials and tests that we are subject to by the Divine plan, we feel that if we were worthy of a greater demonstration of Hashem’s dominion over the universe we would have more success in standing up to our tests.
If we don’t align ourselves with aspirations of truth seeking all Hashem’s demonstrations cannot help.
Hashem, open our hearts and minds.
Have a wonderful Shabbos.
