Bo: The First Mitzvah of Freedom
from Connecting Jewish Grandparents · host Sharona Hassan - Grand Plan
In Parashat Bo, the Jewish people receive their first commandment while they are still enslaved. Surprisingly, it is not about escape or survival. It is Rosh Chodesh, the sanctification of time. Freedom begins with the ability to claim ownership over one’s time. In this episode of Connecting Jewish Grandparents, we explore how this Torah insight speaks to modern grandparenthood. Many grandparents experience a quiet loss of autonomy, whether through constant childcare, blurred boundaries, or the challenge of maintaining meaningful connection across distance. Through the lens of Bo, this episode offers practical guidance for reclaiming time, setting loving boundaries, and creating intentional rhythms of connection. These ideas sit at the heart of the Grand Plan approach to grandparenting, helping grandparents move from obligation to purpose. Listen now and discover how reclaiming your time can become your first step toward freedom.
