The Rebbe says:

1. During it’s description of the horrible Egyptian exile, the Torah says, “They embittered their lives with hard work, with mortar and with bricks…”.

2. The Rebbe analyzes this:

The true life of a Jew is not his physical life; it is his spiritual life. Therefore, when the Torah says that the Egyptians embittered the lives of the Jewish people it must also be referring to their spiritual lives, their true life.

American Jews, beware. If you run afoul of the Justice Department, your chances for bail are slim to none. That's the new legal concept created by the office of U.S. Attorney Matt Dummermuth in northern Iowa. The policy singles out Jews as a special category to be denied bail due to Israel's “Law of Return.”

The Israeli law provides citizenship to any Jew immigrating to the country. It's much like the asylum clause in U.S. immigration law, designed to offer refuge to Jews fleeing oppressive regimes. It's never been used to give haven to American criminals. The United States and Israel have an active extradition treaty. Routinely, accused criminals are sent from one country to another.
