> “Parshas Yisro”
We know the very first commandment of the ten starts with the words, “I am the L-rd, your G-d…”
Is there a lesson to be learned from the first commandment?
Yes, according to Rashi, the classical commentator who explains the reason why the first commandment is linked with the leaving of Egypt (if you look at the continuation of the above quote, you will see that it says, “… Who brought you out of the land of Egypt…”).

> “Parshas Beshalach”
Indecisive? Don’t worry, Pharaoh was like that. Ten times.
In this week’s parsha discussion, we take a second look at how being indecisive can inconvenience others. Are we too scared to make up our minds sometimes?

> “Parshas Bo”
This week’s parsha – which continues to narrate the clash between Moses and Pharaoh just before the Jews leave Egypt – talks about the value of children. What exactly did Pharaoh say about the Jewish children, and how did Moses respond?

> “Parshas Vaeira”
There are moments in our lives when we realize we have been misrepresenting ourselves, saying one thing and doing another. In this week’s parsha – Vaeira – we read about Pharaoh and how he got caught in his trap of declaring himself a god of the Egyptians. It may be funny, but it makes us think about how we can strive to be more true to ourselves.

> “Parshas Shemos”
The Torah in this week’s parsha, Shemos, describes the beginning of the slavery of the Jewish people in Egypt. Slavery is a sad thing. But there is much to be learned from our experiences in Egypt. This week’s post to the The Living Torah blog points out to one such lesson. What lesson do you think it is?
