Are We United or Just Unified • Episode 421 • Parshas Beshalach

Why does Rashi describe Egyptian unity as "one heart like one man" but flip the order for Jewish unity at Sinai - "one man with one heart"? This small textual reversal reveals something profound about what makes Jewish connection fundamentally different from any other group.

In this week's Parshas Beshalach, we explore a Gemara that uses three dream symbols - a pot, birds, and a river - to illuminate three distinct levels of unity. The Egyptians shared a goal. The Jewish people share a soul.

Through a powerful true story of a kiruv trip where a Canadian and a Mexican Jew discovered their grandmothers were neighbors in Lodz, Poland - and a transcendent Shabbos moment singing Ani Maamin with a Chassidishe Rebbe in Meah Shearim - discover why Jewish unity isn't something we create. It's something we remember.

Join Rabbi Asaf Aharon Prisman for this week's Torah wisdom on connection, family, and what it really means to be כאיש אחד בלב אחד.
