The second book in the Torah, Exodus, provides shockingly direct parallels to our moment in history. From its description of the origins and tactics of state repression to its account of the numerous forms of resistance our forebears used to survive and gain their freedom, Exodus is a guidebook for all of us who are asking ourselves: What can we DO?! Power, gender, xenophobia, the “weapons” of the weak, and solidarity are all at play as we peer more deeply into the greatest liberation story ever told. Find out why Exodus has been an inspiration and training manual for oppressed people and freedom movements throughout history and across the globe. We will read and discuss selections from Exodus and commentaries that illuminate new possibilities for understanding this ancient yet timeless story. No prior experience with Jewish learning required; all texts provided in translation and the original.
