Vaeira 06:02 – First Possuk in the Parsha – From Galus to Geula (5767)

Posted on November 2, 2017 by Rabbi Paltiel
The parsha deals with the plagues – as soon as the plagues started the slavery ended. This is the beginning of the geula from Mitzrayim (Egypt). This class continues our series of analysis of the first pasuk (line) of the parsha. Hashem is in the middle of talking to Moshe and then he starts talking to him again. What is the purpose of this redundancy? Why is Hashem called by two different names in this pasuk? The analysis starts off with Yonason ben Uziel, moves on to Rashi, Even Ezra, Rabbenu Bechaye, Rikanti (with commentary from the Levush), Arizal, Shaloh, and Chassidus from the Lubavitcher Rebbe (including two ma’amarim – 5731 and 5732: Vol.1 of the Rebbe’s edited ma’amarim and a sicha – 5725).
