Parashat Shemot 5783, Generational Trauma and Public Health Care

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

This week’s parashah is Shemot (“Names”), the 13th parashah overall, and first portion of Shemot/Exodus. This is the famous “and there arose a Pharaoh who knew not Joseph” parashah. Mosheh/Moses is born, rescued and adopted by a daughter of Pharaoh, runs away after killing an overseer, and reintroduced to the promise made to his forefathers. After the names of all of those who went down to live in Egypt with Jacob/Israel are recorded. Now we begin to see the long term effects of family relationships, and how trauma can travel down through generations. Here is another reason that long term planning and access to basic survival and equal health care resources for everyone is essential to all of us, unconditionally.

Saturday Surprise — Sphen & Magic! — A Purposeful Reprise

Filosofa's Word

I first wrote this story back in October 2018, and have since written an update (link at bottom).  I felt a need to reprise it today in light of the fact that a similar story about another penguin couple, Roy & Silo, written into a children’s book in 2015, has been banned in Florida.  As you will see, it is a wonderful story, a heartwarming story, but apparently some feel threatened by inclusion, compassion, and love.  Sphen and Magic will always be welcome here at Filosofa’s Word!


I have long said that we could learn a lot from other species, those we refer to as ‘animals’, when I often think it is we who are the animals.  Animals don’t kill because they don’t like the colour of another’s fur.  Their hierarchy isn’t based on religion, ethnicity, fur colour or gender … it is merely survival of the fittest.  They may…
