Vaera 5781 / וָאֵרָא Exodus 11-6:1
There is a section of Parashat Va-eira that might sound familiar to those who have experienced a Passover seder: Say therefore, to the Israelite people: I am the Eternal. I will free you from the labors of the Egyptians and deliver you from their bondage. I will redeem you with an outstretched arm through extraordinary chastisements. And I will take you to be My people, and I will be your God. And you shall know that I, the Eternal, am your God who freed you from the labors of the Egyptians. I will bring you into the land which I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and I will give it to you for a possession, I the Eternal. (Ex. 6:6-8)
