Resistance to the good intensifies whenever there is a leap forward – be it personal or national. What did you expect? That the defeated forces will not try to rally their remaining strength to fight? We must wait and see the beginning of the next parasha, Parashat Va'era, where the full answer to Moses' concern is given: "God spoke to Moses and He said to him, I am Lord [YHWH, the Tetragrammaton]". The term "God" means that there is a direction ("el") that leads us in the present, but the term "YHWH" means that there is indeed a present; the first letter in this name is a "yud", which indicates the future. From the viewpoint of the media of the present, it seems that the disruptive forces are increasing the bondage and the screams in the media – but those who are connected to the emerging future know that we are in the midst of coming out of Egypt.
The bad will pass.
The good will prevail.
With God's help.

Hosha'ana Rabba FLYDUBAI & HOSHANA RABBA- ANI VAHU HOSHIA NA- I & HIM SAVE US
"Ani vaHu Hoshia Na", "I and Him, Save Us". We don't just pray to Him, but we also pray to and for ourselves that we should emulate and educate our children to have that instinctive altruism with which He created the world. President Trump seemed amused about Yaniv Hayon, our PLUMBER who confidently worked with G-d like Superman (he learned from a pilot on a TV show!) to save 174 lives on the Dubai hijacking, but we in Israel are totally accustomed already 78 years to our plumbers, teachers, garbage-men, rabbis, farmers & doctors being Hashem's shlichim! This is what Zionism is about.
