#69 Yitzias Mitzraim – A War of Ideology |  |
 |
 |
 |
 |
When we look at Pharaoh and his pagan beliefs, we usually write him off as primitive. The same goes for all idol worshippers. But surprisingly, they were tuned into spiritual secrets we modern folks tend to ignore. They just made one fatal error. Modern science isn’t all that different. Scientists have uncovered some astounding facts of nature. But for all... |

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
As we come close to Rosh Hashonah and Yom Kippur, we focus on teshuva. Most of us understand that there are areas we must improve, but only in a theoretical sense. It is rare to find a person who walks into shul on Yom Kippur with a fierce determination to get rid of his sins. Most of us just daven and try to focus on improving ourselves. The idea of heartfelt remorse and repentance just doesn't... | |
