Parshat Va’era introduces us to the promise given to Moses, to deliver the Israelites from bondage, as well as showcases the first seven plagues: blood, frogs, lice, wild beasts, pestilence, boils, and hail. Despite Moses’ feelings of inadequacy and Pharaoh’s unyielding heart, the narrative highlights the inevitability of justice and the power of faith in the face of continuous oppression. A story of transformation and resilience,Parsha Va’era reminds us that liberation is always within reach, even when the path forward seems impossible.
