This Passover, we’re noticing that folks are quick to identify with the Israelites, but what about the circumstances where we’re in the role of the Egyptians? How can we work to dismantle the binary of good and bad, victim and villain and move toward greater wholeness? Can we invite the intervention that will alter the circumstances and lead to freedom? Can we do it without drowning in the proverbial sea? A first step is to build courageous reflection into our Passover practice that acknowledges enslavement or enslavement-like conditions are present in our world right now.
CW: Mentions of sexual assault, enslavement, violence, and dehumanization.
