Session One: The Descent into Slavery   We know that contemplating the events of Yetzias Mitzrayim is central to our avodas Hashem.

And it’s easy to see why- we all have stuff in our history tha...

Emunah and Bitachon: Do You Understand the Difference? Do you believe in Hashem, but sometimes feel that He’s out to get you? Then you have emunah, but lack bitachon.
