Va'Era

The Alef Kabbala group (16 Jan 07) explored a discourse on VA'ERA. This discourse was taught by the Lubavitcher Rebbe in 1972. Two years later the Rebbe edited the discourse and it was published in honour of the Yartzeit of Rabbi Shneur Zalman, 24 Tevet. The discourse discusses the way the beginning of Va'era contrasts Moses and the Patriarchs, in terms of the distinction between Torah study in all its varieties and the dedication to G-d achieved through prayer.
