This process invites in new light, clarity, and capacity for love and compassion. We also prepare to fulfill the holiday’s injunction that we are each obligated to see ourselves as having left Egypt—a reminder that just as we have been constrained and liberated in the past, so, too, may we be liberated from our current constriction.

Explore shared resources, learning opportunities, and seder materials as we prepare together and unlock the profound meaning of Pesah this year.

Rabbi Jessica Lenza explores our sacred texts and celebrates the legacy of female power and the story of redemption. It is possible (though woefully incomplete) to retell the Passover story without mentioning a single woman. You could focus on the inspiring leadership of Moses or the hardheartedness of Pharaoh or even the masculine image of God as Ish Milhama, Man of War. Yet, the rabbis in the Talmud maintain that Israel was redeemed from slavery in Egypt precisely because of women. Who were these women and what can we learn from their leadership, courage, and ingenuity? How might we better understand this foundational story of our identity differently when we examine the unique and powerful role of our female ancestors and the Divine Feminine in midwifing the Israelites to freedom.
