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.
