Parashat Shemot: Divine vs Man-Made, Celebrating Secular New Year

Parashah Shemot is filled with many themes that are essential to the Jewish experience as a whole and recounts the first instances of Antisemitism and Jewish persecution and a common collective Jewish identity shaped through that process. It begins with the names of 70 righteous souls that were with Yaakov and included all his children and grandchildren before him. These 70 souls were what would eventually form the complete Jewish nation. The heads of the 12 tribes including Yosef die before the start of the actual slavery in Egypt. And before that they had become very successful and powerful in Egypt. They also had become more populous than their hosts in Mitzrayim as with every birthing a woman gave birth to six children. We know about the huge numbers as majority of the Jews perished later in the plague of darkness and despite at minimum 2 million in total (600,000 men) escaped Egypt. https://www.evernote.com/shard/s33/sh/38f0168d-2642-44af-9959-e22ea8d52785/99ddaeccaa1f4377dee4ec9aa47a1020 To Support our KIRUV and Torah Teachings work please DONATE at www.BeEzratHaShem.org If you'd like to invite Rabbi Yaron Reuven to give a lecture at your synagogue, home or office please email Info@BeEzratHaShem.org Rabbi Reuven is based out of Florida but travels to give lectures to different groups.

Born in Netanya, Israel, Rabbi Yaron Reuven began his American Dream as a little boy, when his family immigrated to the United States. He went from a newspaper boy at the age of 10, to a well-known self-made Wall Street multimillionaire by the age of 23. During his time in Wall Street, he owned his own private brokerage firm, a hedge fund, and an international insurance agency. He was featured on CNBC, Bloomberg and Chinese NDTV due to his success in the financial industry. At age 26 he faced a 7-year battle for his life when a simple surgery went wrong. From that moment his life would never be the same. This moment marked the start of a series of miraculous events and an exciting pursuit of truth, ultimately resulting in Rabbi Reuven renouncing his lofty position and success in Wall Street, after 16 years, to become a full-time KIRUV rabbi. His Teshuva story is sure to catch the heart of every listener. Rabbi Reuven’s shiurim are in English and Hebrew. His classes are focused on spreading the truth and divinity of the Torah through MUSSAR, scientific proofs, and many other methods to reach each individual listener. Rabbi Reuven is the leading educator on the topic of wasting seed in the English language with over 100 videos about this topic published online.
