The NEW KINGS of our time | Parsha Perspectives | Shemos 5786

Description

The story of Jewish nationhood begins not with power, miracles, or redemption. It begins with identity. === Series generously sponsored by Becky & Avi Katz and Family in memory of David Grossman z"l, Dovid ben Menachem Manis z"l, their beloved father and grandfather. === Parshat Shemos introduces a troubling phenomenon that has repeated itself throughout Jewish history: leaders who once protected the Jewish people suddenly become their fiercest enemies. In this Parsha Perspectives shiur, Rabbi Efrem Goldberg examines the idea of a “new king,” not just in ancient Egypt, but in modern times. Why do powerful figures so often reverse course? What causes moral clarity to collapse under pressure? And how does the Jewish people survive, even thrive, when the political climate turns hostile? Drawing on classic commentaries, Rabbi Sacks, and contemporary examples, this episode challenges us to rethink leadership, identity, and what it truly means to remain Jewish in exile. 🛎️ Subscribe for weekly Torah for real life: https://www.youtube.com/@rabbiefremgoldberg 💬 Have a takeaway or question?
