Paro is warned about the plague of locusts and agrees to release only the men; Moshe insists everyone must go. During the plague, Paro calls Moshe and Aharon to stop the locusts, admitting he has sinned. Hashem ends the plague but hardens Paro's heart; yet again
Paro fails to free the Jews.

Egypt is then engulfed in a palpable darkness. Paro tells Moshe to take all the Jews out of Egypt but to leave their animals behind. Moshe tells him that not only will they take their own flocks but Paro's, too. Moshe tells Paro that Hashem will bring 1 more plague, the death of the firstborn, and then the Jews will leave Egypt. Again G-d hardens Paro's heart.

The month of Nissan is designated the 1st month. Bnei Yisrael is commanded to take a sheep on the 10th of the month and guard it until the 14th when it will be slaughtered as a Pesach offering. Its blood is put on their door-posts and its meat eaten roasted. The blood is a sign that these homes will be passed over when Hashem strikes the firstborn of Egypt.

Hashem sends the final plague, killing all first-born, and Pharaoh finally sends the Jews out of Egypt.

Laws concerning the Pesach sacrifice, Chametz and Matza, Pidyon HaBen and Tefilin are then given.

    Bemare Habazak - Rabbis Questions

    Serving as Chazan on the Shabbat Before a Yahrtzeit

    How important is it for someone to be chazan on the Shabbat before a yahrtzeit? Is it is just for parents, or also grandparents/in laws? Some people in my [the rabbi] shul feel that people use it as an excuse to “grab the amud.”

    Introduction and Biography of the Noda B’Yehuda

    After an extended period of presenting ideas of the Chatam Sofer on monetary disputes, we move on to a shorter series on the works of Rav Yechezkel Segal Landau, often called the Noda B’yehuda. (Although Rav Landau served as a dayan for many years, poskim do not usually publicize their rulings on cases in which they served as a dayan, but on questions asked by other rabbis. The Noda B’yehuda did not include many such cases in his reponsa.) Many view the Chatam Sofer and the Noda B’Yehuda as two of a kind. They were in the same basic time period (Rav Landau was around 50 years older), they were important rabbis of important communities at critical times, and the works of each are among the most respected and quoted by Acharonim.

    Relationships during the Time of Engagement

    A young engaged man and his fiancée naturally have very strong feelings for each other. It goes without saying that these will be expressed after the wedding, but what expression, if any, is permitted in the meantime? And while we're on the subject, is the attraction of men and women to each other really a good thing to begin with?
