Get StartedStaff into Snake (Part 4 of 7)
The Miracles Performed By Moses In Egypt
Rabbi Fohrman focuses on the symbolism of the first sign, connecting it with Pharaoh’s dehumanization and attempted genocide of the Israelites. Through his exploration of the meaning of this sign, Rabbi Fohrman explains that God’s turning Moses’s staff into his snake was another way of acknowledging the suffering of the Israelites.
