Please click here to read Ethan's Chesed Reporter
Acts of chesed (loving kindness) are an essential part of TJC’s B’nai Mitzvah experience. Typically during the 6th grade year, every student commits to 10 or more hours of hands-on community service. At the conclusion of the experience, students reflect on what they accomplished and learned in the Chesed Reporter. Since the Chesed Reporter is traditionally distributed in the sanctuary on Shabbat morning, we are now sharing it with the congregation in our Weekly Newsletter.

The Israelites in Egypt are fertile; they multiply and fill the land. A new Pharaoh who “knew not Joseph” and of his service encourages Egyptians to prevent the Israelites’ increase through oppression and forced labor. But when they continue to increase, Pharaoh directs the taskmasters to make the laborers’ lives even more bitter and specifically orders Hebrew midwives to kill all newborn Hebrew sons. When midwives Shiphrah and Puah disobey this order and let the boys live, Pharaoh decrees that the babies be thrown into the Nile River to drown.
One Israelite woman places her baby boy in a basket and sends it down the river. Pharaoh’s daughter discovers the basket and rescues the child. With the help of the baby’s sister hiding in the reeds along the bank, she hires his own mother to nurse him, adopts him, and names him Moses.
As an adult, Moses intervenes in the beating of a Hebrew slave and kills the Egyptian taskmaster. When word of this incident spreads, Moses flees to Midian. There he intervenes on behalf of Midianite women and is rewarded with the gift of a wife named Zipporah, with whom he has a son.
Responding to cries for freedom from the Israelites in Egypt, God speaks to Moses in the presence of a burning bush. God tells him to return to Egypt and approach Pharaoh in order to free his people. Moses argues vigorously, but God displays several examples of divine power and promises that Aaron, Moses’ older brother, will speak on his behalf. Moses and Aaron together convince the people of the feasibility of their mission, but Moses’ first encounter with Pharaoh is a failure and leads only to an increase in the oppression. The Israelites’ foremen, caught in the middle, are angry with Moses and Aaron, but when Moses expresses his disappointment to God, he is told that deliverance will yet come.
