As 2020 comes to a close, I decided to curate 10 of my favorite episodes from this past calendar year and revisit them on the podcast. If you have already listened to it over the course of the year, it will give you a chance to enjoy it again, and if you missed it the first round, now is a great time to catch up on these ten episodes. This ranking will be exclusively featured on this podcast channel, All Rabbi Yaakov Wolbe Podcasts; it will not be on the individual feeds. Please email me if you agree or disagree with my ranking. I am sure that you already know my email address 🙂

After centuries of subjugation and servitude, our nation was redeemed from Egypt and taken out by God on the wings of eagles. How long, exactly, were we in Egypt? That is actually quite a tricky question to answer. In this parsha we read how the Egyptian enslavement lasted for 430 years but in Genesis, God promises Abraham that the enslavement will only last 400 years. To make matters more confounding, Rashi gives us three different durations of the enslavement: 210, 193, and 117 years respectively. How long were we there and what is the lesson of all these contradicting figures?
