Shabbat Sh'MotA new Pharaoh fears the growing number of Israelites and enslaves them. He orders their newborn sons slain. Moses, cast adrift in the Nile, is rescued by Pharaoh's daughter and grows up in the royal court. After laying an Egyptian taskmaster, he flees to Midian and marries there. At a burning bush, Moses en-counters God, who sends him back to Egypt to free the Israelites - only to anger Pharaoh, who increases the slaves' burden.
