The Exodus-Narrative: Text and Interpretations
Aryeh Wineman
The biblical account of the Exodus from Egypt is both our freedom-document and a foundation-story for Jewish teaching, tradition, and consciousness. Together, we will examine the nature of that account and also touch upon questions concerning its historicity. Then we will examine interesting ways in which Hasidic teachers viewed and even retold the Exodus account. Some of their comments range beyond a literal understanding to a more symbolic grasp of the Exodus-tradition which might help us to clarify its meaning in our lives today.
Aryeh Wineman, rabbi and author, who has taught several courses at the Havurah Institute over the years, is engaged in research and writing in the areas of Hebrew literature and Jewish mysticism.
