Torah in Ten: Vaeira
Post Oct. Miracles
A young boy comes home from Hebrew school, excited to share with his parents what he learned about the Exodus from Egypt.
He begins, "Mom, Dad, you won’t believe this! The Jews were running away from Pharaoh, and they got stuck at the Red Sea! But then Moses called in the Israeli engineers, and they built a huge bridge overnight so everyone could cross safely. Then, when Pharaoh’s army chased them, Moses radioed the Israeli Air Force, and they bombed the bridge, causing the Egyptians to drown!”
The parents, puzzled, look at him and ask, “Is that what your teacher told you happened?”
The boy sheepishly replies, “No, but if I told you what the teacher said, you wouldn’t believe me!”
