JVL Introduction
Rabbi Lev Taylor retells the passover story again, explaining that if we don’t “we might believe that slavery was inevitable”.
“Throughout Jewish history, we have been able to draw on the Pesach story to talk about freedom in our own times. Seders have been used to celebrate the Emancipation Proclamation, the Russian Revolution and the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. Haggadot have been issued to draw connections with women’s liberation, racial justice struggles and disability movements. Pesach is our spiritual guide to thinking through freedom.”

"Sometimes we win"
The Exodus story teaches us that we must never lose sight of our ability to create a better world, no matter how impossible that may seem.

Very interesting read.
My question could also be a statement. The majority of humans have to battle through life, it could be that the Wealthy and Powerful will always use the majority, so that they can live their privileged lives.
What is different today is, instead of it all happening in relatively small regions, the regions have grown encompassing several countries and then grown again, now it is across the whole world, with the Working Class still being used, almost every soldier is from the Working Class, the seriously Wealthy are who were fighting for, I cannot see it ever changing. If we get through life without having to fight in a war, we are lucky. How do others feel about the way life is now, will it ever change or will it be like this until the sun starts swelling and engulfs the planets?
What an inspiring article, a timely reminder for me that there is always hope and despite the setbacks we are witnessing at the moment we can fight through this and win. Thank you.
