Great Class

Today in class Rabbi Lubetski gave us a worksheet in which we were to read a Rashi and Ramban who had very interesting things to say on why Hashem sent Moshe to greet Pharaoh in the morning. Also, we had to dig deep into the meaning of the ten plagues and why Hashem brought this horrible pain onto the Egyptians if he could have done it in one fell swoop. I agree with all of the answers pertaining to this subject and I loved figuring out these answers. I look forward to more inside-the-chumash learning and I hope we can continue the great work we have been accomplishing so far.
P.S.- I want to see everyone at the play tomorrow night

  1. Just something to consider about the worksheet. A question or something that seems very strange to me; i don't yet have an answer hopefully I will by tomorrow night. Moshe is credited with so much Hacarat Hatov, because he did not hit the water and the earth because it saved him. However, he seems to have no problem bringing on things like locusts and hail which completely destroyed the land and the crop and anything on the ground. Why is he so hesitant to hit the ground with his staff yet he doesn't mind destroying it?

  2. Hahahahahahha Efroni you finally did it! Awesome. I loved the fact that Hashem sent Moshe in the morning to embarrass Paraoh while he did his thing. A "god" wasn't supposed to do that and not only did Hashem exploit the fact that Paraoh wasn't a god but he also used it as a point to drive his power home. Hashem was pretty must saying IM the all powerful REAL G-d. You are a poser home dawg

  3. I agree with the play part. I believe these worksheets are really helping me grasp the concepts that are present in the 10 Plagues. I think Rabbi Lubetski has done an excellent job in helping us fully understand the meaning behind the plagues, and I am looking forward to learning more about them.
