Description

What is the significance of Hashem's mockery of Pharoh emphasized by the Torah at the opening of Parshat Bo? Compare and contrast this with verses later in Bo that describe the glory of Moshe and Bnei Yisrael in the eyes of Mitzrayim. In this shiur these and other questions will be analyzed from the perspective of the great Mussar giants of the last generation. We will dedicate much time to the "boomerang" theory which reveals the greatness of man and his endless potential to achieve a transformation of the universe in which he lives and the capacity of man to inject sanctity into the very fabric of physical objects, objects which in term will uplift man who sanctified them.
