Machshava:

Middot, Prophecy, Ramban, Torah

Midrash:

Mechilta

Parsha:

General, Va'era

Collections: R' Tanchum Cohen Parsha Burst

Description

The parsha famously opens with communication - sheimos Hashem, avos vs. Moshe, 4 leshonos shel geula, and the Jews' inability to absorb Moshe's messages due to their fears and overwork. Yet 2 critical lessons about proper communication can be drawn specifically from the "nondescript" pasuk that opens the next section of Va'era. Ramban on Va'eira (6:10), and also (6:9).
