Episode Synopsis "The Real Bitterness of the Bitter Waters"

In episode two, Rabbi Fohrman and Imu looked deeper into the Biblical sources found in Refa’einu--the story of the splitting of the sea, and the story of the bitter waters of Marah. They discovered that these stories point to a mysterious illness which God cures the Israelites of... but what is this illness exactly? In this episode, Rabbi Fohrman and Imu begin to answer this question. Their journey leads them back to Egypt, and an in-depth account of the trauma the Israelites experienced there. Could it be this trauma is the mysterious illness alluded to? And, if yes, what would it mean to heal from this type of illness, physically, emotionally, and spiritually?
