Did the Israelites experience the plagues that God sent on Egypt?

Les explains that God poured out the plagues upon the Egyptians, and the first few plagues Israel experienced as well. Then God put a division where the Jews no longer experienced the plagues that fell on Egypt. The final plague was the worst, the death of the firstborn, which struck families and parents. The angel would fly over, and every house in Egypt would lose the firstborn; everything firstborn, even the livestock, would die. But Israel had an out, depending on their faith: if they put the blood of the Passover lamb on the doorposts and stayed within the safety of their home, the death angel would pass over. This began the Passover the Jews still celebrate today in the Spring of the Year. Les also notes that Passover and Atonement are two totally different Feast Days, and that Christ is our Passover, with protection given by the blood of the Lamb.
