Parshat Vaera Shabbat Morning: Turning towards liberation
Services for the coming weeks will be hybrid, in the Sanctuary and on line, and they begin at 10:00 a.m. Our next interactive Zoom service on shabbat morning will be January 22. The story of the book of Exodus is the story of the birth of the people Israel as a nation. In Genesis we are a collection of families, of tribes. Now after the experience of slavery in a foreign land, we come together to form a people, a nation with a shared destiny. Before we finish Exodus, the new nation will be given laws at Mt. Sinai and then build a building, the tabernacle, around which national life will be built. Today we read about the plagues and the role played by God in the story of human liberation. How might we understand both the human and divine roles in social change?
