The Lesson of Egypt

SimchaMinute by Rabbi Avigdor Miller

In order for us to be taught that great lesson [that Yisroel is special to Hashem], we must get rid of Mitzrayim [Egypt]. The killing of Mitzrayim was a lesson; that’s our yeshua (rescue). We must be rid of the umos haolam [nations of the world]. Now, that doesn’t mean you have to go around killing goyim,.. But you certainly must learn the lesson that Mitzrayim taught us.... When we got rid of the important people of Mitzrayim, then the am Yisrael was capable of being redeemed. — Purim 19: On That Night (#728)
