Two Pharaohs in One Heart - How Comfort, Self-Interest, and Perspective Rewrite Our Moral Vision

 Why do we embrace truth when it benefits us — and resistit when it costs us? In this powerful Breakfast & a Class, we explore oneof the most unsettling patterns in human nature: how the same facts can lead tocompletely opposite moral judgments depending on comfort, self-interest, andperspective. From Pharaoh’s embrace of Yosef to his rejection of Moshe, theTorah exposes a hypocrisy that isn’t ancient history — it’s alive in every oneof us.     Drawing on Midrash, Talmud, Zohar, sifrei mussar, and amemorable story shared by Rabbi Mordechai Kamenetzky, this class challenges usto look inward with honesty and courage. It’s not about judging Pharaoh — it’sabout judging ourselves. If Torah inspires you when it’s easy but unsettles youwhen it demands, this class is for you.
