We spill 10 drops of our wine tonight to remember that freedom for the Israelites was marked by the devastation of another people. We will spill another 10 drops of our wine tonight to remember the many women who are not free to sit safely around a table of family and friends remembering, debating, and telling their stories. In honor of them we recite the traditional 10 plagues as well as the 10+ plagues facing women in our world today.
