5780 — Mishpatim: Service or Slavery?

Posted by Mike Feuer on February 16, 2020
Topics: Torah, Pardes from Jerusalem, Shemot (Exodus), Mishpatim

Standing at the foot of Sinai should be the ultimate expression of freedom, and yet Parsha Mishpatim begins with the laws of the Hebrew slave. In this podcast, Rabbi Mike Feuer discusses why that might be, along with an exploration of the difference between slavery and service.
