YOUR
PASSOVER GUIDE TO THE ULTIMATE REDEMPTION STORY
OUR STORY The yearning for freedom is woven into the fabric of our being, forming a central theme in the story of humanity. Passover commemorates the Israelites’ emancipation from slavery in ancient Egypt and has since become the definitive model for redemption, both historically and personally.
YOUR FREEDOM STARTS HERE In our daily journey through life’s obstacles, we invoke the Exodus as we endeavor to liberate ourselves from the constraints of our limitations, aiming for personal liberation from old habits and narrow perspectives. The journey from slavery to freedom continues, as echoed by our sages: “Every person should see themselves as if they left Egypt.”
LEAVING LIMITATIONS In Hebrew, Egypt, where our ancestors were enslaved, is called Mitzraim. This word shares the same Hebrew meaning for limitations, narrowness, and self-imposed boundaries. Egypt is thus not only a geographical location but also a state of mind.
