LSJS: The Pesach Exodus: Ultimate War of Good vs. Evil
Join Rabbi Dr Raphael Zarum on Zoom for this incredible pre-Pesach lecture. Link sent by email in advance.
So many stories we read or watch on TV replay the battle of right against wrong, good against evil. This highly-original lecture will show how the roots of this conflict lie in the clash between Moses and Pharaoh. Torah, Midrash and Egyptology will help us uncover this classic confrontation that could form the basis of a great discussion at your Seder table this year.
