The 12 Pesukim: 3 - B’chol Dor Vador - Ft. Joey Newcomb

Thank You Hashem is proud to bring the 12 Pesukim Project to our worldwide audience. This project focuses on a curated collection of foundational biblical verses and Rabbinic sayings that were introduced by the Lubavitcher Rebbe 50 years ago in 1976. His visionary initiative encourages children worldwide to memorize these specific texts, so that every single child should know these verses deeply, being fully armed, ready, and able to teach these foundational truths to other Jews everywhere.

The Tanya famously states that a person must see themselves every single day as if they personally left Mitzrayim, Egypt. It explains that the true concept of Yetzias Mitzrayim, the Exodus, is the ability to break out of any limitation—to transcend any menia, obstacle, constraint, or self-imposed ceiling. It counters the limiting beliefs that tell a Jew, "You are restricted; you are only capable of this much in your avodas Hashem, service of God, or you can only reach that far."

By taking us out of Mitzrayim, Hashem showed that a Jew is inherently boundless and possesses infinite kochos, powers. We are capable of tapping into that essential cheirus, freedom, on any given day to break through every barrier.

Ultimately, as the Rambam writes in Hilchos Teshuva, every individual has the potential to become as great as Moshe Rabbeinu. We must truly believe that this is what Yetzias Mitzrayim empowers us to do: it allows every single Jew to access the infinite strength within themselves to become the greatest tzaddik, righteous man, or tzadekes, righteous woman, the world has ever seen.
