Why was it so difficult to slaughter the Rams?

This Sunday at Kosher BLT, we’ll explore a powerful and surprising idea from the Exodus: the extraordinary challenge the Jewish people faced in publicly slaughtering the Egyptian “rams” before leaving Egypt, and the unique courage and merit that act created.

Join us for a delicious spread of fresh bagels, lox, and all the fixings, paired with a meaningful and engaging discussion that brings timeless Torah to life. It’s the perfect way to nourish both body and soul and start your week with inspiration.
