From Darkness to Light: Passover
Passover is the Jewish holiday about the passage from darkness to light, from slavery to freedom. In remembering the Exodus story of the liberation of the Jews from slavery in Egypt, it is an occasion to reflect on our own journeys.

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Rabbi Lauren Holtzblatt have written a Passover Reflection that lifts up the women without whom there would have been no Exodus. Read "The Heroic and Visionary Women of Passover" on the American Jewish World Service website.
In this season or rebirth and renewal, consider the women in your life who have been bearers of light and liberation.
