Living Through the Makkos: Part One: The Descent into Slavery

from The Shmuz · host JewishPodcasts.fm

You know that contemplating the events of Yetzias Mitzrayim is central to your avodas Hashem. Recognizing that this house has a Master is the very purpose of your life in this world. It is therefore your holy obligation to learn as much as you can about Pesach and gain a detailed understanding of the events that transpired. In the first session of Living Through the Makos, Rabbi Shafier explains how Klal Yisroel went from being a privileged nation in Egypt to tortured slaves. He discusses the rise of anti-Semitism amongst the Mitzri, and how their hatred of others ultimately led to their hatred of themselves. Packed with valuable life-lessons, this series is guaranteed to give you the ultimate in Pesach preparation and elevate your Sedarim like never before.  This podcast has been graciously sponsored by JewishPodcasts.fm.
