Pre-Passover Special - When the Chains are Invisible
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
There’s something about this time of year… As we prepare for Pesach, cleaning, cooking, setting the table… we’re also being invited into something deeper. Not just a historical remembrance… but a personal awakening.
Because the real question of the Seder isn’t “What happened then?” It’s “Am I free now?”
In this special pre-Passover episode, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath shares an exclusive preview from the audiobook of The Forgiveness Experiment Chapter 9.
A look into the “Mitzrayim” within, the inner narrowness, the old voices, the quiet fears that still hold us back long after we’ve “left Egypt.” Drawing on timeless Torah wisdom, including the teaching that “in every generation… a person must see themselves as if they personally left Egypt” , this episode invites you into a different kind of Exodus:
One that happens not all at once… but step by step. Breath by breath. Choice by choice.
You’ll explore:
- Why freedom is not a moment, but a process
- How trauma keeps us attached to what we’ve already outgrown
- What it means to become your own Moses
- And how to gently lead the parts of yourself that are still stuck… toward something wider, softer, freer
This episode is deeply personal. Honest. Whether you’re sitting at the Seder this year wondering if anything has really changed… or you’re ready to take one small step out of your own inner Egypt…
This is your invitation.
