Here is a question that isn’t brought up at seders: It was a golden age when Joseph brought the Israelites to Egypt—a fertile land with great holdings. Our ancestors were at the top of the heap. How did we end up in slavery?
All the Torah says is that a new Pharaoh arose who did not know Joseph and blamed the Israelites as outsiders for the country’s problems. Sound familiar? Authors of all political persuasions are writing about the end of the Jewish golden age in America. This is important to discuss this Pesach.
Emily Tamkin will be our scholar. She is a journalist and author who has been published in the Forward, the Washington Post, Smithsonian Magazine, and The New York Times; Heard on NPR, and the author of two books, The Influence of Soros: Politics, Power, and the Struggle for an Open Society and Bad Jews: A History of American Jewish Politics and Identities.
As the Haggadah says, each of us must look at ourselves as if we went out of in Egypt. Emily is a brilliant thinker and speaker who will help us understand what well may be the challenge of Pesach this year.
Join us and invite friends and family especially those who will be at your seder to give them a head start on the theme of Pesach this year.
