Beit HaLev
Beit HaLev's community prays for Israel, the Israel Defense Forces, the safe return of all hostages and a swift end to the Israel-Hamas War.
The name of this week’s Torah reading is “Bo” (Come). HaShem instructs Moshe and Aharon that they must “come” to Pharaoh because “I have hardened Pharaoh’s heart.” The eighth, ninth and 10th plagues (locusts, darkness and death of the firstborn) are recounted before Pharaoh finally relents and tells Moshe and Aharon that the Israelites are free.
