5780 — Mishpatim: Service or Slavery?

Introduction

Standing at the foot of Sinai should be the ultimate expression of freedom, and yet Parsha Mishpatim begins with the laws of the Hebrew slave. In this podcast, Rabbi Mike Feuer discusses why that might be, along with an exploration of the difference between slavery and service.

This podcast has been generously sponsored by Bob Karasov and Hanna Bloomfield in honor of their children and grandchildren.
