Egypt, the Exodus, and the Passover Story with Sharon Keller

We all know the story of the Exodus – we hear it each year in the Torah reading, we discuss it yearly at our seders, and we have our conceptions of illustrations firmly embedded in our minds-eye. But when we look at the story through the lens of Egypt, with actual Egyptian artifacts, what can we see? Not the pyramids, and not the chain-gang slave marches of Hollywood, rather a glimpse of life, a peek at what could be understood in an ancient contemporary context. Examine some of our preconceived notions and therefore see the story in a different light.
