TRANSFORMING LIABILITY INTO ASSETS 
Challenges: Seeds for Growth
Why must a seed rot before sprouting into a flower? Why do we feel anxious before scaling new heights? Why is there no gain without pain? Why must we shed one layer to assume another? Why is challenge the catalyst of change, resistance the engine of power and pressure the fuel of strength? All growth, all progress is borne out of some form of loss. The deepest cry, the most exquisite beauty, the greatest force, originates in the anguish of the soul attempting to free itself from bondage.

Join Rabbi Jacobson as he dissects this week's Torah portion where the most sublime Divine revelation emerges, of all places, in the throes of Egyptian oppression. Discover tools that will guide you through the abyss in your own life toward the greatest of heights. Learn how liabilities can be transformed into enormous assets; how your own losses and challenges can become powerful seeds for growth.
