Parashat Bo 5784: Aliyah by Aliyah First Reading: The War of the Reptiles “God said to Moses, ‘Come to Pharaoh” The Zohar 1 on Parashat Bo offers a mysterious and most profound explanation why God told Moses “Come to Pharaoh” instead of “Go to Pharaoh.” In a mystical allegory, Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai describes how the Almighty brought Moses through rooms within rooms, until he reached the most formidable spiritual reptile, “the upper tanin (‫)תּ ַ נִ ין‬.” This was Pharaoh’s soul root, as the Prophet Ezekiel states, “Here am I upon you, Pharaoh, king of Egypt, the great tanin that lies in its rivers.” 2 When Moses saw that Pharaoh had 1F such a profound spiritual source, he was afraid to approach it, instead, God took upon Himself the task of fighting the great reptile. It was impossible to move because of the darkness, “there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt for three days: they did not see one another, nor did anyone rise from his place for three days.” 14 The sages state that one should “believe that there is wisdom among the nations” 15 ( ‫חָ כְ מָ ה‬ ‫)בַּ גּוֹיִם תּ ַ אֲ מִ ין‬, but there is no Torah.

But when evil serves as a dark background, then the good shines and is emphasized, suggesting the adage from King Solomon, “the advantage of light derives from [i.e., can be appreciated when it is contrasted with] darkness” 23 ( ְ‫)יתְ רוֹן הָ אוֹר מִ ן הַ ח ֹ ׁשֶ ך‬. (from Wonders Issue 20, Pesach 5782) Sixth Reading: God’s Name – “Hosts” “On this very day, all the hosts of God departed the land of Egypt” A new generation, a new Name “On this very day, all the hosts of God departed the land of Egypt.” 29 Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi explains 30 that this is the first time the word “hosts” (‫ )צִ בְ אוֹת‬appea
