ChaBaD PARSHAH PICKS: How Long Can We Wait? (Shemot)

 ChaBaD PARSHAH PICKS: How Long Can We Wait? (Shemot)


General Overview

 

This week's Torah reading, Shemot, begins the Book of Exodus. Pharaoh issues harsh decrees against the Israelites, beginning decades of Jewish suffering and slavery. Moses is born and raised in the Egyptian royal palace. After killing an Egyptian, Moses escapes to Midian and marries. G‑d appears to him in a burning bush and demands that he return to Egypt to redeem the Israelites. Moses returns to Egypt with the intention of freeing the Jewish people.
