IDF-Hezbollah victim-Dor Nini-Sahar Salem

Last Wednesday morning, it looked as if there might be war between Israel and the Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah after it fired anti-tank missiles toward Mount Dov, killing Israeli soldiers Major Yohai Klinger (25) and First Sergeant Dor Nini (20). An additional seven wounded were evacuated to hospitals in the north. An early investigation revealed that a minimum of five anti-tank missiles had been fired at the IDF convoy hitting at least two army vehicles on route 999, which is a public highway, in the Shebaa Farms area of Israel. The IDF responded with artillery fire into South Lebanon and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that “those behind the attack will pay.”

Parasha Bo (Come): Plagues, Freedom, and Redemption from Slavery

Ultra-Orthodox teens walk together at the Kotel (Western Wall) Plaza in Jerusalem.

This week, in Parasha Bo, God sends the final three: locust, darkness and death of the firstborn. After the last plague, Pharaoh finally gives up, triggering the Exodus of the Hebrews. But what were the purposes of the Ten Plagues? To pressure Pharaoh to let the Israelites go free? Perhaps, but God is fully capable of setting His people free without a king’s permission.
