Machshava:

Hashem 

Parsha:

Va'era 

Description

With some preliminary thoughts on the Makkos addressing such questions as Aharon's role v. Moshe's role, whose stick is involved in which miracles, and what the purpose of the plagues were overall, we focused in the last 20 minutes on how to understand what it means that "My name 'Hashem' was not known to the Avos." Additionally, through a very novel interpretation, Haksav v'Hakabbalah explains how God has ZERO EGO in all of the Egyptian dealings. God's desire for Egypt to know His Name comes from a very important worldview which redefines for us how we are to understand Who and What God is.
