Our Saturday morning service on January 18th, 2025 fell just two days before Martin Luther King Day, which also just so happened to be Inauguration Day, ushering in the second term of the Trump presidency. Just like in the Exodus story of our parshah, Pharaoh is back. Well, technically, it was two different pharaohs, the one Moses fled from and the one that he stood up to, but you get the idea. With Pharaoh dividing us to make us weak enough to subjugate, there is only way out of Egypt: coming together as a mixed multitude.
