Who are we? | Part 4 of 8
3/13/2021
The Exodus narrative is interrupted as we step back further into Jewish history and relate our humble beginnings. This story is bigger than we at first thought, the canvas wider, the brush strokes more textured. A liberation from physical slavery and also a deliverance from spiritual unease. There is a pattern to Jewish history, and it repeats itself across time.

Wide-ranging discussions. Who are the four sons? Why these four, and what, really, are they asking? Who were the five rabbis and what were they doing in Bnei Brak? Apathy versus anger. The importance of critical thinking. The nature of storytelling. Seeing the Seder with fresh eyes. This is not just a story, something that happened in the distant past. This is our story – and it’s happening now.

Kadesh. Urchatz. Karpas. Yachatz. Kiddush is recited, hands are washed, bitter herbs are sampled. The middle matzah is broken. The Seder isn’t only an intellectual discussion, it’s a night of experiences – of not just telling, but tasting and touching the great origin story of the Jewish people.
