The Plague of Blood
Question
I wanted to ask the Rabbi how he explains the plague of blood and the plague of the firstborn. As a rational person, you don’t really believe that this is what happened. Can this perhaps be explained as a kind of metaphor?
Answer
Why, as a rational person, would I not believe that this is what happened? What does this have to do with rationality? And in general, why did you single out the plague of blood and the firstborn? What about the other plagues? The creation of the world, revelations to prophets, and the like?
