Can you believe it? Just a week ago, we were released from bondage- at which time we celebrated the Ten Plagues. Dam, Tzfardaya, Kinim.. In English: Blood. Frogs. Lice. Wild Beasts. Pestilence. Boils. Hail. Locusts. Darkness. Slaying of the First-born.
After which, Pharaoh agrees that the Jews can leave Mitzrayim- the narrow place. Only to change his mind, and chase after them- but he himself gets caught in the waters as they return to their normal condition, having parted for the Jews to cross to the other shore.
This holiday of Freedom, where we celebrate this release from bondage, is spent with our families, recounting the events in Egypt and our release.
May you all find release from your narrow places, to the expanse of freedom and the responsibilities that freedom entails.
My postings will resume on Friday.
Just getting to this post. Things have narrowed for us in New York State in the past few days and we wonder, when will we be free again? The states trying to reopen are going to be our unintended guinea pigs. I think we will have to stay narrow for a while longer. We’ll know for sure in 2 to 3 weeks.

I fear those states dropping the quarantine will set the rest of us up for a terrible second wave.
