Parashat Vaera

Éxodus 6:2-9:35

In Shemot 6:6-7 we read that God will "pluck" us out of the drudgery of Egypt, He will “free” us from slavery, “redeem” us with outstretched arm, and “take” us as His Town.

These four actions that will lead us to free ourselves from Egypt, as a representation maxim of slavery, we represent it in the Pesach Seder with the four cups of wine what we have to drink

Wine is a symbol of happiness and rejoicing, of celebration and liberation, and the number four, as we read in the Peninei Halacha of Pesaj, is a number that indicates fullness, that something is complete. The number four does not appear only in the four glasses of wine, but also in the example of the four children and their four questions. why four questions? Why four different ways of describing what, after all, could be translate as "liberation"? In this parashah we begin the long road to freedom, a word that everyone thinks they own, but that is complex enough as to not own anyone, and have at least four different faces. With every Shabbat we learn to be a little free once a week, with which of the four aspects towards freedom will we stay this week?
