Torah Lights: The Tenth Plague (6:56)
Pharaoh finally understands that G-d means business and lets the Jews go. Rabbi Shlomo Riskin contrasts Israel, the first born of G-d and the firstborn of Egypt, including Pharaoh himself. Rabbi Riskin goes back to the first encounter between Moses and Pharaoh to understand the parallels.

Mayanot Moment: Parshat Vaeira (4:27)
Consider the plague of blood. Mrs Rivka Marga Gestetner compares blood with water. Water is represented by cold analysis while blood represents excitement and passion.

This fascinating idea proves relevant with regard to the mitzva we still practice today -- the redemption of the firstborn known as pidyon haben.
