Portion Bo ...(Why) everyone - even Pharoah - has a Bad  Day sometimes
  
  
  We all have bad days. 
  
  Moses had a bad day when the burning
  bush said he had to go back to Egypt
  
  Aron had a bad day when Moses did not
  come down from the mountain in time to
stop the golden calf  thing
  
 Abraham had a bad day when THAT Pharoah
  kidnapped Sarah
  
  But these and many other tough times - we learn from the Torah -
 
were overcome by looking at the Almighty s Big Plan  - for Israel and Torah
  
  (Some of the PLAN Is Foretold to the World and us  in a later chapter)
  
BO -  the name of the Portion  - means COME ... 
 
So the Almighty says " Come (With Me) to Pharoah ...(I will be with you)" 
 
RABBI ELIEZER WEISS says it means FOR US today too!
  
 
But Pharoah had no room for anyone  but  himself and  his hoodlums - 
  
Even when THE CHARTOOMIM - SORCERERS AND
  TRICKSTERS - when even in last week's portion
 said the plagues were too much and  to let Israel Go
 
He still had NO ROOM FOR THE ALMIGHTY 
(or even his CHARTOOMIM advisors, who were still scratching from the lice ...)
  
Life can be   Frightening sometimes
 
But if we rememeber the Almighy is With Us 
and we see part of The Plan (because we are still HERE, and not the Pharoahs)
 
Then despite the weather and the world 
we should all have a good Shabbos
 a good day ... 
and a better life - trying to Live the Plan
 
 
  SHABBAT SHALOM
