Passover, Episode 3: When Pharaoh Still Says No


Listen Later

What happens when you build a giant, room-spanning machine out of toys and spatulas just to avoid putting on your own shoes? Tali finds out the hard way! But her funny failed invention gets Lama wondering about the Big Question: If the miracles are already happening, why do people still need to get ready?
Join Tali, Noam, Lama, and Sabba as they buckle up the time-traveling podcast studio and head straight for ancient Egypt! First, the crew investigates Pharaoh’s dusty palace storeroom right after the plague of locusts to see what a "heavy heart" (לֵב כָּבֵד) really looks like. Then, they dash over to Goshen to meet a young Nachshon ben Aminadav and discover that true rescue requires us to take action ourselves—with our belts tied (מָתְנֵיכֶם חֲגֻרִים) and our walking shoes on!
In this episode, we explore:
The Big Question: Why sitting around and waiting for magic doesn't get you out the door.
Real Change vs. Panic: How we can tell if someone has actually changed their behavior for the better, or if they are just scared of a storm.
The Power of Choice (רְשׁוּת): Why our personal choice to step up still matters, even when big miracles are happening all around us.
Grab your walking staff, leave the soft pillows behind, and get ready to step into the action!
