Text of excerpt, if available
As we find ourselves in unprecedented times, the Passover story will speak differently to us than it has in years past. As we sit in small seders, Zoom seders, or read the haggadah alone, we will be presented with an opportunity for both external reflection on our world and situation, as well as asked how we can shake free the bonds of our inner slaveries. Rabbi Heschel teaches that we are all Pharaohs or slaves in some way and Pesach presents us with the opportunity to wrestle with that paradigm. Are you a slave to the Pharaoh of convenience? Are you a Pharaoh in your inability to follow stay-at-home orders? Are you a slave to the Pharaoh of time? Are you a slave to the Pharaoh of standards for those around you?
