At some point I'd love to see a parashat hashavuah thread, and it seems that we now have (or will soon have) the numbers and mix that might make such a thread (or threads) possible. Any thoughts?

Do you think it's better to have a running threat or one for each parasha?Agreed. I was thinking the same thing

Thanks. Let's wait and see what others think
May I suggest, write up your thoughts on this week's so we could get things started regardless of how we end up doing it.
But for me the more challenging lens through which to read Exodus 10-11 is that provided by Job and Exodus 4:18-23."God, said to them: 'My creations are drowning and you are singing before me?'" The angels had every right to respond: "Yes, but it was you who set them up to die much as you enabled the death of Job's family"
In my opinion, Zornberg's "The Particulars of Rapture: Reflections on Exodus" should be required reading for those who would take seriously the questions posed by our liberation narrative.
Also. Why "BO" and not "LEKH" el paro did Hashem go with Moses?
