Passover In Our Age of Anxiety

Every great story has the same shape: a beginning, a conflict, and a resolution. We feel this instinctively. We lean forward during the tension and exhale when it breaks.

We are living inside a story right now. Not a metaphor. An actual story, with a beginning, a middle, and an end that is coming whether we can see it or not.

Passover puts this in sharp focus. The Exodus isn’t just a historical event. It is the story we are still living. The Haggadah puts you inside it. You taste slavery and freedom at the same table.........
