I Shall Be As I Shall Be: Believing In Ourselves

Published: Jan. 7, 2021, 6 a.m.

Jenna sets the scene for the Exodus in the Torah, focusing on the famous encounter between Hashem and Moshe at the burning bush. In doing so, she addresses questions such as: What is the symbolism of the burning bush? Why did Hashem decide to redeem the Jewish people from slavery? And why did Hashem use His name  meaning "I Shall Be As I Shall Be?" The answers Jenna poses to these questions may help us understand how we can transcend anger and criticism and believe more in ourselves and each other.
