Bo
Israel and Eygpt:
In the Eyes of the Prophets
From the Haftorah Series

Both Parshas Bo and its Haftorah describe sieges on Egypt, but while the first occurred through open miracles, the other was an earthly military defeat, though of course, God’s guidance was behind it. Rabbi Wein expands on the theme of God’s unseen hand in the defeat of Egypt, proving that even a mighty empire can fall if God wills it.
