Yesterday, on the eve of Passover, Jason Bright came to speak to us about the Jewish holiday and about the ritual Seder meal. He said that Passover celebrates not just the historical Exodus of the Hebrews from slavery in Egypt, but the more universal exodus of the soul from the slavery of restrained consciousness into the freedom of spiritual development.
