Haftarah: Dylan Katz
RABBI’S SHABBAT MESSAGE
“…tomorrow I will bring locusts on your territory. They shall cover the
surface of the land, so that no one will be able to see the land. They
shall devour the surviving remnant that was left to you after the hail;
and they shall eat away all your trees that grow in the field.
Moreover, they shall fill your palaces and the houses of all your
courtiers and of all the Egyptians—something that neither
your fathers nor fathers’ fathers have seen from the day they
appeared on earth to this day.’” With that he turned and left
Pharaoh’s presence. And Pharaoh’s courtiers said to him, “How long
shall this one be a snare to us? Let the men go to worship the LORD
their God! Are you not yet aware that Egypt is lost?” So Moses and
Aaron were brought back to Pharaoh…”
This is the first time we discover a difference between the attitude
and outlook of the Pharaoh to his courtiers and servants. One should
ask why this is the case now? One commentator, Rabbi Shlomo
Ephraim Lunschitz (17th century Poland) suggested a novel
explanation – that the plague of the locusts, coupled with the past
plague of hail, was bound to leave Egypt empty of any food. This
would not impact the Pharaoh, but it would impact on them. So now
they are moved to say and argue with the Pharaoh because it was
about to hit home, not because they suddenly developed a moral
conscience as to what they were doing with the Israelites. And so it is
for many of us where the misfortunes of the world only move us
when it touches us. Our faith, on the other hand, wants us to care for
those who suffer particularly – especially – when our lot is filled with
plenty and fortune.
Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi Aaron Flanzraich
