What if the very people who hurt you the most are still controlling your life—not through their actions, but through your hatred of them? In this week's episode, we uncover one of the Torah's most shocking commands hidden in Parshas Ki Teze: "Don't despise an Egyptian" and "Don't despise an Edomite"—the very nations that enslaved and persecuted the Jewish people. Rabbi Jonathan Sacks zt"l reveals why this seemingly impossible mitzvah might be the key to unlocking true freedom in your own life. Whether you're nursing old grudges, replaying past hurts, or feeling trapped by resentment toward someone who wronged you, this episode offers a life-changing perspective on how letting go of justified anger can become your path to liberation. Discover why holding onto hate keeps us enslaved to the very people we despise—and learn the practical steps to break free.
