5780 — Shemot: Who are You–What is Your Name?

This week we begin a new book–Shemot or “names.” It makes much more sense to call the book “Exodus” since most of the book describes the process of the Jewish people going from slavery to freedom–their struggle to leave Egypt and come to the Promised land. In this podcast, Rabbi Schweiger examines the significance of names in shaping identity and creating relationships among people and between people and God. Rabbi Schweiger discusses how names are at the very core of the redemption process.
