ABOUT THIS EVENT: The commandment to remember the Exodus serves as both a theological and ethical principle which has accompanied the Jewish people throughout our history. Rather than being a static and unchanging perspective on the past, however, this mitzvah has given voice to the responsibilities and hopes of Jews for liberation in different times and varying circumstances of persecution. This raises the question of what role the story of the Exodus plays for American Jews and how it informs both our ethical responsibilities today and how we engage in the study of textual traditions composed by those under oppression.
