Parshas Bo (5769)
by Mordechai Dolinsky
These parshios of the miracles of the plagues and yetzias mitzrayim are meant for a constant source of inspiration as they were at the time they occurred.
The theme, the lesson and inspiration of most of the makos were movement; the spurting of the blood, jumping of the frogs, the springing of the fleas, the devasting movement of hail and the most obvious movement of the locust. Likewise Hashem commends Klal Yisroel for their “movement”.
12:12 The awesome significant korban Pesach is so called to commemorate Hashem”s “skipping” and “leaping” over the houses of Bnai Yisroel. This was in the merit of Bnai Yisroel’s “skipping” and “jumping” (see Rashi) which we can say was inspired by the movement of the makos.
Have a wonderful inspiring, uplifting Shabbos.
