Time

Tuesdays 11:00 AM Eastern

This ten-part series will take place on Tuesdays at 11:00am Eastern (6:00pm in Israel) from February 15 to April 12

The book of Shemot follows the Israelites as they transform from an oppressed group of nameless slaves to a nation free and purposeful enough to form a covenant with God Himself. But what makes this transformation possible? And is it strong enough to withstand the challenges ahead? This course explores the different distinct experiences and trials that prepare the Israelites for the burdens of freedom, even as they introduce different strands of liberation into their social and private lives.

Topics:

Tanach, Shemot
