How does the story of the Exodus echo in our own generation and
in our own lives?
"For us to hear the Oneness of God, we must grow into a place
where the cosmic and the political are deeply the same truth." from
Part V
The story Jews retell on Passover is about rising up against
tyranny, about the triumph of the God who sides with the despised
against a resplendent emperor. Exploring how this tale applies to
our own time enriches the ancient account and it expands and
transforms the community for which Exodus is a collective family
story.
Exodus is not only the saga of the escape from slavery, but also
a story of courage, celebration, rebirth and community from which
people of all faith traditions have learned and can continue to
learn. Calling us to relearn and rethink the Passover story, Rabbi
Arthur O. Waskow and Rabbi Phyllis O. Berman share:
The enduring spiritual resonance of the Hebrews' journey for our
own time Social justice, ecological and feminist perspectives on
the Exodus How the Passover story has been adapted and used by
African American as well as Christian and Muslim communities to
provide insight and inspiration.
