2025/09/24

Have you ever noticed how a single word can completely transform your understanding of a familiar story? That's exactly what happens when we take a closer look at Exodus 4:6-7, where God gives Moses a miraculous sign to convince him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. The text describes Moses putting his hand into his cloak and when he removes it, his skin has become "leprous, as white as snow." When he returns his hand to his cloak, it's "restored like the rest of his flesh." This seemingl...

Proverbs 21:13 - Looking Away

Daily Proverbs with Adam Qadmon ·

2025/09/23

Why do we look away from suffering? This profound question opens a fascinating exploration into a uniquely human trait—our tendency to avert our gaze from others' pain. Drawing from neuroscience, ancient wisdom, and modern psychology, we uncover how this seemingly protective response actually shapes our brains, communities, and personal wellbeing. The science is startling. When we witness suffering, our amygdala—the brain's alarm system—triggers the same fight-or-flight response as if we our...

The sweet seduction of a white lie. The momentary relief of hiding an uncomfortable truth. We explore why 60% of people can't make it through a simple 10-minute conversation without at least one deception – and the surprising science behind why even small lies carry hidden costs that ripple through every aspect of our lives.
