Hi, Hope you’re having a great day. It’s amazing how our perspective on things can change. My nephew Yehudah has a very long road ahead of him. Thank G-d, there have been some encouraging signs.

Hi, Hope you’re having a great day. The new Egyptian king sees the Jews as a threat and enslaves them. (Exodus, 1:8-2:10) He orders the Jewish midwives to kill every newborn Jewish boy.

Hi, Jacob finally encounters his brother Esau.  (Genesis, 33) In Jewish tradition, Esau represents the power of the sword.  As opposed to the spiritual values of Jacob.
