Shabbat

Portion Bo

Portion  Bo
 
 
What did G-d's message in the Portion add to what was transmitted at the Burning Bush?
 
Do you have to be a prophet ti know whats going on in the world today?
Like
There's Enough enriched uranium in Iran for 3 bombs ( the UN reports.)
Or that
67 journalists were killed in the world last year -
and everyone complains ONLY that
 one might have died in a crossfire between Israeli troops and terrorists. 
That's Anti Semitism.
 
Are we really DIFFERENT from everyone?
 
The Portion Bo tells us that before the Israelites could leave Egypt, that
 
their families HAD to celebrate
A FAMILY PASSOVER SEEDR (the first).
 
Jewish FAMILIES are the building blocks of
CREATING A SANE WORLD
It's been known for Thousands of Years
 
(Idea from Zev Neriya - thanks)
 
(By the way there is a famous ancient Egyptian wall fresco depicting
Pharoah's Wife applying salve to him-
From around the time of JOSEPH...- while most frescos show wars and slaves)
 
And what does the Seer of Lublin learn here - 
He who we hear could read minds and commune with the Almighty-
 
He Says This Portion is given to us to
CONNECT US TO THAT FIRST
FAMILY SEDER NIGHT
 
So ASK ME NOW-
 
So what about all the firstborn Egyptians
Who were punished for enslaving our forebears? Was the Almighty a bit too tough?
BUT
Many more Egyptians were killed by the Romans.
And even more ORIgiNAL Egyptians- by the Moslems/Arab armies!
 
So where does the Portion leave US
 
ABOUT TO ESCAPE SLAVERY?
 
Sonething that gave hope-
 
American slaves gathred STRENGTH from
OUR EXODUS
 
THE WORLD NEEDS TO LEARN
 
Love of Israel
