Rabbi Joey Mizrahi joins us to explore how Eretz Yisrael is fundamentally different from Egypt: it is not sustained by the Nile and predictable irrigation, but by rain that depends on Hashem. We discuss how the perasha frames life in the land as a relationship built on trust, mitzvot, and moral responsibility rather than self-sufficiency.
