52: Shelo Asani Eved: What Is Trying to Own Me?
May 11, 2026
Episode Description
This week on Tefilah Today: Shelo Asani Eved — “Who did not make me a slave.” Why does the bracha say eved, and not “who made me an eved Hashem”? We explore how Hashem formed us into a goy kadosh, redeemed us from Mitzrayim, and gave us the freedom to serve Him. What is trying to own my mind, my choices, or my peace — and what is one sincere step I can take as an eved Hashem?
