Feeling the Pain of the Makos
Shabbos & Yom Tov
A teaching ofRav Nosson Tzvi Finkelהרב נתן צבי בן משה פינקל
At the Seder we pour out drops of wine at the mention of each of the Makos. Perhaps this is to build our sensitivity to the suffering of others, even though the Makos caused so much pain to Klal Yisroel's enemies as well as relief to Klal Yisroel.
