This week’s Parsha is Parsha Vaera the Second Parsha in Sefer Shemot.
Moshe is asked by Hashem to go and ask Pharaoh to let the Jews out of Egypt.
But when he asks, not only does Pharaoh say no but he makes the work harder for the Jews. So Moshe asks Hashem, “Why have You dealt badly with this people”?
Moshe’s Fathers Avraham,Yitzchak and Yaakov never asked these types of question to Hashem. Moshe thought that when Hashem sent him to ask Pharaoh to let the jews out he thought that the plagues would instantly begin. Hashem was waiting for Pharaoh to do one more sin and that would make it really bad. Also for the Jews to earn one more thing before leaving Egypt. As we know Pharoah does do one more sin which made Hashem send the plagues to him and the Egyptians. The jews were finally free.
Shabbat Shalom,
