#blogexodus 6: retell
This week, Solly watched Moana 6 times. Yes, you read that right.
It's his current favorite movie, and each day of Spring Break, he watched this movie.
It's a good one, and unlike some of the others, it does hold up.
It opens with the grandmother telling a story, one that she has clearly told many many times. It bears repeating, because she knows that its truth has been forgotten.
How is it that we can tell a story over and over again but forget to believe in it?
Is it like this with the Exodus? We tell the tale of slavery over and over again, and we tell of the joy of freedom -- but how many times in our history have we also forgotten it? Even today, how is it that we can be free when all are not?
We tell and retell, over and over. So we don't forget the tale.
It's also important to believe in it.

#blogExodus 5: Seek
We search
hunt
seek out
the chametz
the fluff
the puff
We look for it
so we can
sweep
it
away
and
emerge
feeling
free...
