The new Pharoah enslaves the Jewish people and orders all of their sons to be killed. Moses is put in a basket and found in the Nile. He grows up as a prince, but then learns he’s Jewish and decides that he wants to help his people.
RECENT COMMENTARY
In Parashat Sh’mot, we learn the Israelites have been enslaved in Egypt by a pharaoh who did not know Joseph. To gain some small degree of control, the Israelites examine their behavior for flaws that may have caused the situation.
