Parshas Voairah (5769)
by Mordechai Dolinsky

What was the lesson of the staff turning into a snake that Moshe was commanded to demonstrate to Pharoh?  The staff symbolizes the erect spine which in turn is pride.  We work to make our spine flexible like a snake which is the crucial prerequisite to seeing and understanding the truth.  Arrogance is indeed blinding; understanding is not purely dependent on intellect.

Have a wonderful Shabbos and a month of fulfillment and redemption.
