Description

Pharaoh mandates throwing all Jewish boys into the Nile river. The Rebbe explains that symbolically, the represents the ideology, passion, and perceived economy of the dominant cultural power. The dominant power demands that we sacrifice our children for the sake of the machine, either killing them or repurposing them to serve it. The only response is to have faith and resist the dominant culture no matter how hard it may seem. Then we will survive thrive and perpetuate long after the culture in question has receded into history. Likkutei Sichos Chelek Aleph Shemos Sicha 1 Summary
