Scope and Content

Anniversary of Rabbi Ingber's bar mitzvah. Time spiraling. Dara Horn -- every seder takes place on top of every other seder. Exodus story re-lived every year. Israelites in "saferooms" with marked doors, Israelis today in saferooms. What is this moment? Like all other moments! Two kinds of exile -- communal and personal. All movement on Pesach from katnut to gadlut, adding the space in the "heh" of matzah (compare to chametz letters). In safehouse, Israelites 1. proudly marked doors, 2. told stories. 3. stayed inside, stayed in the room, in relationship. Turning chametz into matzah.
