Thinking Lessons

Why did Hashem send 10 Seminars of Makos lessons against Egypt ?
Hashem is teaching us how to think in many ways -
- Do you have water ?
Thank Hashem that it is not blood!
- is it quiet ?
Thank Hashem that you don't have frogs croaking all around you. Etc

Frogs lesson

Each frog had a mission to go & harass the Egyptians. Some frogs chose to even jump into the hot ovens.

Subject: The weak / strong

Why do we call the Righteous Jews weak in Al Hanisim if they were
actually strong ?

The Sidur HaGra explains that in their minds they realized that without
Hashems help we are always weak !
As when Yosef Hatzadik said - Bilodoi ! Its not my power.

Saying Thank You

If someone did you 10 favors , would it suffice to only thank them for 1 or 2 of them.
On Chanuka we need to wake up & see the lights to thank Hashem & appreciate the countless favors He is always performing for us.
