The
penultimate plague visited upon the Egyptians
was darkness. Commenting on this event,
a Chasidic master taught that "the
darkness was so dense that people could
not see one another. That is the worst
of all darknesses: when people are unable
to "see" their neighbors, that
is, notice their distress and help them."
In our own lives may we dwell in light and
not darkness, and in so doing, may we notice
and be responsive to each other's needs. |
