11 Nissan, Passover, and Perceptions (57:18)
Why does the book of Exodus start by saying "These are the names of the Jews that are coming to Egypt" instead of "that came to Egypt"? Are Jews defined by their sins? Must we always try to find redeeming qualities about someone and judge them favorably even if they seem irredeemable?.
