Weekly Portion:
Vaera – January 13 – 26 Tevet
 
Image
In this Shabbat’s weekly Torah portion Vaera Exodus 6:2 – 9:35, God reveals Himself to Moses. Employing the “four expressions of redemption,” He promises to take out the Children of Israel from Egypt, deliver them from their enslavement, redeem them, and acquire them as His own chosen people at Mount Sinai; He will then bring them to the land He promised to the Patriarchs as their eternal heritage.

In this week’s Haftara Prophets reading Ezekiel 28:25-29:21, begins with a mention of the in-gathering of the exiles, echoing God’s promise mentioned in the Torah portion: “I will take you out of the suffering of Egypt.” The prophet then goes on to discuss the decimation of Pharaoh and Egypt, reminiscent of the primary theme of the Torah portion—the devastation God wrought upon Egypt.

Happy studying!
