Shemot - I want to be your neighbor!

 Shemot - I want to be your neighbor!  Who chased whom out of the Garden of Eden?   Why not send baby Moses away or come up with some other way to hide him; why risk killing him by putting him into a basket by the water?  Why did Yocheved choose this specific day to place Moses by the water; what was so special about that day which gave her confidence?   Who did the daughter of Pharaoh see in the basket with Moses?   How can one refuse a personal and direct request from Hashem?  What’s was the basis of such a refusal by Moses at the burning bush and later by Yirmiyahu as we see in the Haftara?  What does Pharaoh know that makes him wonder why Moses would want to take Benai Yisrael into the desert?  What do we learn about appreciation and recognition of good in this perasha?  How do we make sense of the sign which doesn’t seem like a sign that Hashem gives to Moses?  Why would man need to pray for Hashem‘s salvation?  Why didn’t the brothers return at the the time of Jacob’s funeral to stay in Canaan? Were they forced to keep their family and cattle in Egypt or was it a decision? And if they were forced why not gradually sneak out over the next 50 years that Joseph was inpower?  What does it mean when we learn that someone living outside of Israel is like an idol worshiper?
