Freedom Begins When We Stop Tolerating
Episode 23
Wednesday, 14 January, 2026
Send us a textOne 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?
