Remember to Remember (Sh’mot)

What does it mean when the Torah tells us that God “hardened Pharaoh’s heart”? Rabbi Micah Streiffer explores a contemporary interpretation that understands Pharaoh’s stubbornness as a return to entrenched, harmful habits—and considers how this reading speaks to our own era of geopolitical uncertainty and our enduring responsibility to pursue justice.
