REVISED 10 COMMANDMENTS
An emotional Moses leaves B’nei Yisrael with his parting words: a revamped and modernized version of the Ten Commandments. Each directive is about more than what might appear at face value, and Moses makes sure the people know each deeper meaning before he leaves them in Joshua’s very capable hands. Unfortunately, not everyone seems to get the message and the Israelites begin their march into Canaan, leaving Moses to wonder what will become of them.
CIRCUMCISION
Abraham relays God’s command to seal the covenant between them with the act of circumcision, but Isaac and Ishmael have other ideas. Before Abraham does anything rash, the kids do everything they can to get God’s sign-off on some less painful alternatives.
MOSES’ SPEECH POST-OCTOBER 7
Moses apologizes for his harshness and praises the people of Israel in the wake of October 7 for their kindness, strength, and resilience and for the ways they showed up for each other during this difficult time.
WHY FOLLOW MOSES?
After the splitting of the Red Sea, the Israelites question what God and Moses are actually capable of doing. Most importantly: can they find a lost wallet?
JOSEPH AND HIS BROTHERS
Joseph recounts his dreams of grandeur to his brothers who would rather sell him into slavery than hear a second more of his arrogance.
RAPE IN THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
Moses hands down the Ten Commandments to the Israelites, but his wife Tzipora argues that “Thou Shall Not Rape” needs to be included. As the Israelites try to understand when you can and can’t rape someone, it becomes clear the importance of including that commandment. Caution: While this sketch may appear to be speaking flippantly of a very serious topic, it can actually be used to launch a serious discussion of rape culture.
THE BINDING OF ISAAC
Abraham prepares to make the ultimate sacrifice: his eldest son. Isaac is less than keen, but only the voice of God can change his father’s mind. Luckily, Isaac is a talented ventriloquist.
THE HIGH PRIEST'S BREASTPLATE
The High Priest consults God via the sacred breastplate, but his inquiries are only heard if he can complete a rigorous test of faith—or is it memory?
