Thoughts that Count for Our Parsha

They did not see one another, nor did any rise from his place (Ex. 10:23)
The worst kind of darkness is the unwillingness to see another's distress and extend a helping hand. The end result of such indifference is that the "blind" person himself becomes mired in place, unable to rise... (Chidushei HaRim)

Let every man borrow from his neighbor, and every woman from her neighbor...and G-d gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians (Ex. 11:2-3)
When Jews act kindly and help each other out in times of need, G-d grants them favor even in the eyes of their enemies, for their actions arouse an abundance of loving-kindness from Above. (Toldot Adam)
