## Resource

In this week's episode Rabbi Kohn talks about why Moshe changed what G-D told him to say to the Pharaoh. When he told Pharoah about the plague of the firstborn he said at "about midnight" instead of at midnight. Why did Moshe do this? Does G-D not know how to tell time? He also speaks about the mitzvah of the korban Pesach. How family is important to our Judaism and how are Judaism brings our families together. Subscribe to The Practical Parsha Podcast.
