Pesach: The Once and Promised Future Redemption

Redemption is an important motif in Judaism. It begins with the original Exodus of the Hebrew slaves from Egypt and continues to the contemporary Exodus – the creation of the State of Israel – as the first step of the Divine promise to liberate all of humanity. 

In light of Rabbi Greenberg’s new book, “The Triumph of Life: A Narrative Theology of Judaism”, we will explore the liberation from slavery as partial fulfillment of the ultimate goal of the Jewish covenant with God – the victory over all the enemies of life: poverty, hunger, oppression, war and sickness, with the Earth turned into a paradise.
