PARSHA CLASS A Weekly Journey Into The Soul of The Torah Portion Sometimes the reality of life, forces us to wear different masks. Freedom is the ability to know when it’s time to take them off. “Man plans, and G-d laughs.” Life is full of unexpected (and often unwanted) surprises. But we can overcome the quagmires we encounter when we realize they are created by our own perceptions. As our ancestors escaped slavery in ancient Egypt, they forged ahead toward an even greater challenge – escaping from the slavery mentality that continued to hold them back. Suggested donation: $36
