Va'era in a Nutshell

The name of the Parshah, "Va’era," means "and I appeared" and it is found in Exodus 6:3.

G‑d reveals Himself to Moses. Employing the “four expressions of redemption,” take out the Children of Israel from Egypt, deliver them from their enslavement, redeem them, and acquire them as His own chosen people at “Mount Sinai”; He will then bring them to the land He promised to the Patriarchs as their eternal heritage.
