Every year we recall the Israelite experience of oppression, redemption and the recurring commandment to care for those in society that remain oppressed, such as the stranger, the orphan and the widow. These memories and values are key to embodying anti-racism through concrete acts of care and shifting access to power, which is critical to actualizing our true multi-racial community in its fullest glory.

-- Yehudah Webster, Community Organizer, Jews for Racial and Economic Justice (JFREJ)

In this part of the Seder, we usually retell the story in the book of Exodus.  But we all know that story, and we know that the story is likely more mythological than historical.  Let us all go around the table and say one thing that we wish to leave behind, and one thing we wish to remember, as we build the stories of our life.
