One dramatic moment that changed history: the act that turned Moses into a leader 

Why did God choose Moses to lead the people of Israel? The answer lies in one dramatic moment that changed history.

Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Jacobson dives into Moses' past in a lesson on the interpretation of Exodus: Just before he became the leader of the people of Israel, he faced the most difficult choice - he grew up in Pharaoh's palace, enjoying all the good things, security, money, honor, and suddenly he sees an Egyptian beating a Hebrew.

Now he must choose: to remain a quiet prince in Pharaoh's palace, or to be Moses? "And he struck the Egyptian" - when Moses does this, he kills not only the Egyptian outside, but also the Egyptian inside him - the need to find favor, to be loved by everyone.
