The second parasha of the book of Exodus begins with these words, “I have now heard the moaning of the Israelites because the Egyptians are holding them in bondage, and I have remembered My covenant. Say, therefore, to the Israelite people: I am the Lord. I will free you from the labors of the Egyptians and deliver you from their bondage.” It is only when Israel realizes they are in bondage and complain that their liberation can begin. We too are often trapped in patterns and habits that are harmful and we don’t even know it. It is only when we see our situation for what it is that we can change and grow.
