Barad in Hebrew is hail which was one of the Ten Plagues visited on Egypt by God in order to release the Jewish People as written in the Torah/Teaching. The Midrash-Book of Metaphor says the hail of the plague was made from both fire and ice–both burn.
Terrorism has become a plague in our times, striking suddenly in often unsuspected places killing women and children maiming without mercy. Terrorism comes from extreme situations fostering extreme interpretations from holy texts.
In the Talmud-Book of Law there are statues written regarding the zealot who in his zeal does that which is unthinkable. At the level of zealot it is very hard to tell the difference between good and bad–no peoples are immune from this plague.
The significance of Baradar being captured is a sign of reigning in extremism; when the ice and the fire that make up the Barad/Hail melt the water becomes soothing warm. Terrorism is a sickness flashing between hot and cold.
The Cabala teaches the light which comes from the darkness is a greater light, the reason we see from the pupil the dark part of the eye.
