Vaera: The Enchanting Truth of What Lies Beyond Nature
byyonah sklare

 Does nature
reveal or conceal the truth of Hashem? This is the fundamental point of
departure between the believer from the non-believer. Through the prism of our
parsha it will become apparent how this modern-day religious-secular divide is
the very same kulturkampf that was waged upon the Nile Delta in the story of
Yetzias Mitzrayim.
