Episode 200 – Parshat Vaera: Egalitarianism as a First Principle

Return to Podcasts

Listen On

Description

We continue our Shemot series titled, “First Principles of Nationhood,” with R. Dr. Joshua Berman with whom we explore how the Torah revolutionized the role and responsibilities of the individual in a religious society.  This episode relates to this week’s parsha as well as so many later narratives and laws in Shemot and beyond.

The series asks what axiomatic ideas sit at the root of Israel’s national formation, without which we wouldn’t be who we are? How might we adjust our current trends in the Jewish world to realign with these principles?

This week’s episode has been sponsored by Michelle Feiglin and Debbie Nossbaum in memory of their father Nathan Werdiger.
