This week I have three stories for you. The first takes place at a tisch of the first Belzer Rebbe, where a single piece of fruit changes everything. The second follows a chassid of Rabbi Mordechai of Chernobyl who sets out on a long business journey carrying two etrogim — one for his Rebbe, one for the holy Ruzhiner. And the third is a story of the Baal Shem Tov, told on a wedding day, when a debt of one thousand rubles arrives at the worst possible moment.

In Parshat Bo, G-d tells Moses something unexpected: “Come to Pharaoh.” Not go… but come.In this episode Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explores a profound teaching from the Zohar and Chassidic thought: when we face a “Pharaoh” in our lives… fear, resistance, heartbreak, failure, or a person who seems to block our freedom… we are never sent alone. G-d says: Come with Me.Even more startling, G-d adds: “Because I hardened his heart.” The resistance itself is Divine. Not to stop redemption, but to reveal it.Through Torah, Kabbalah, psychology, and powerful stories (including the donkey in the pit and a letter from the Rebbe), this class reframes life's hardships as portals, not barriers. What feels like opposition is often the very force meant to uncover our deepest strength, courage, and soul-power.This is a class about fear, faith, resilience and discovering that the path forward is often a winding one, but it always leads upward.Key TakeawaysYou never face adversity alone. “Come to Pharaoh” means G-d walks with you into your hardest moments.Resistance is not random. Some of the strongest opposition in life is part of the redemption process itself.Pharaoh is not in control. What looks overwhelming is often a tool, not a tyrant.Obstacles are portals. Life's blockages are invitations to excavate hidden strength.Growth is uncomfortable by design. Muscle only grows by tearing and so does the soul.The dirt can bury you or elevate you. Shake it off. Step up. Rise.Your hardest challenges may reveal your greatest light. You discover who you truly are not when life is easy, but when it demands more of you.#Judaism #chabad #Kabbalah  #ParshatBo #Torah  #TorahPortion  #TorahLessons#ComeToPharaoh #NotAlone #FaithOverFear #KabbalahForLife #SpiritualResilience #PortalsNotBarriers #InnerFreedom #DivinePlan #SoulStrength #JewishWisdom #TheZigZagPath #Redemption #chassidus #RabbiBernath #lubavitch #Rebbe Available now:Paperback (US): https://www.amazon.com/Forgiveness-Experiment-What-Would-Your/dp/1069217638Paperback (Canada): https://www.amazon.ca/dp/1069217638Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FR2QNJL6Support the showGot your own question for Rabbi Bernath?

The Jewish people displayed immense courage by keeping the Egyptian deity (a sheep) in their homes for four days, teaching us that redemption comes from performing Mitzvos with pride and without fear. The difference between the letters Hey (Matzah) and Ches (Chametz) illustrates how humility allows for teshuvah. The Frierdiker Rebbe's unique approach was characterized by "going big" in actuality and prioritizing material aid to others as a necessary vessel for spiritual influence, rather than starting with rebuke. Amidst the confusion at the Red Sea, Nachshon ben Aminadav taught us to ignore the debates of competing factions and move decisively toward the goal even if it requires self-sacrifice. Biographical stories about the Frierdiker Rebbe, including his grandfather's prediction at his bris, receiving a "Chassidic kiss" (a Maamar) from his father, and being designated as a successor at age 17. This class, taught by Rabbi Shais Taub, is based on Parshas Bo in Likkutei Sichos Vol. 1.

One of the most surprising details in the Exodus story is that Moses, the redeemer of Israel, did not grow up as a slave, but in Pharaoh's palace. In this morning's Kabbalah class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explores why Divine Providence chose such an unlikely path for Israel's future leader and what it reveals about the nature of freedom.Drawing on Chassidic insights into the word sivlot“ burdens” that also mean tolerance, this class reframes redemption as a psychological and spiritual awakening. True liberation begins not when suffering becomes unbearable, but when we refuse to accept it as normal.Through the lens of Moses' outsider perspective, the Israelites' cry in Egypt, and our ongoing experience of personal and collective exile, the class challenges us to examine what we've learned to tolerate in our own lives. With warmth, depth, and practical reflection, this session invites participants to rediscover holy dissatisfaction, reclaim dignity, and begin their own daily Exodus from narrowness to possibility.Key TakeawaysRedemption begins internally: Before freedom can happen externally, we must stop tolerating what diminishes us.Tolerance is not always a virtue: Sometimes patience becomes a prison that keeps us stuck in unhealthy patterns.Moses could lead because he never internalized slavery: Growing up in Pharaoh's palace gave him the clarity and courage to challenge injustice.The cry matters: Change begins when we allow ourselves to feel the pain we've been numbing and cry out honestly.Exile becomes dangerous when it feels normal: Personally and collectively, redemption starts when we remember that brokenness is not the natural state.Standards shape destiny: What we accept defines what we become, raising our inner standards opens the door to transformation.Every day is an Exodus: Leaving Egypt isn't a one-time event; it's a daily practice of refusing limitation and choosing growth.#Jewish #Kabbalah #Torah #Exodus #TorahPortion #Bible #BibleStudy #Moses #moshe #ParshatVaera #SlaveMentality #Mitzrayim #Tolerance #freedom #PersonalRedemption #chassidus #SlaveMentality  #innerExile #EmotionalHealing  #spiritualgrowth #Moshiach #Geulah  #humandignity #BreakingPatterns Support the showGot your own question for Rabbi Bernath?
