Shabbat Experience
Commentary on the Parshat
This week we begin the second book of the Torah with Parshat Shemot. The Torah portrays our descent into slavery and powerlessness quickly in a matter of chapters. Our exodus and redemption returning us to our ancestral homeland takes many books. Herein lies the message that freedom and autonomy can be lost much more easily than it can ever be reestablished. Values like justice and the free exchange of ideas must be cherished, protected, and safeguarded. As a people, we have survived the worst atrocities and thrived in free, welcoming societies. The Torah teaches us to appreciate opportunities like our communal Jewish experience today. For in the long view of history, our experience today is unique. We must always try our best to make the most of it.
Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi Nolan Lebovitz
