PARASHAT KI TETZEI: Slave morality or Divine morality?
There was a time when Egypt “hosted you at a time of dire need” (Rashi). We cannot forget this time, and therefore we are forbidden from despising the Egyptians.
‘YOU SHALL remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt: therefore, I command you to do this thing.’(photo credit: Wikimedia Commons)ByRABBI SHMUEL RABINOWITZ
