In this episode of Breaking Free, Rabbi Shifman uncovers deep psychological and parenting insights from Parshas Bo, exploring why people resist change—even when it’s in their best interest. What holds us (and our children) back from growth? How can we help them embrace challenges instead of fearing them?

Through the themes of Makas Choshech (Plague of Darkness) and the Jews’ reluctance to leave Egypt, Rabbi Shifman examines:

Why 80% of Jews refused redemption—and what this teaches us about guiding children through transitions.

The plague of frogs as a lesson in choices and consequences, showing how small actions can spiral into major challenges.

How ego-driven decisions can lead to self-destruction, and how to help children (and ourselves) recognize mistakes without shame.

Fostering resilience and self-awareness, so children can learn to make better choices and move forward confidently.

This episode is essential for parents, educators, and anyone seeking to break free from limiting mindsets and nurture a growth-oriented, adaptable next generation.
