Abstract: The story of the Exodus from Egypt is the foundation of the Jewish religion and national identity because it gives us hope that we can go from being stuck in a narrow place to being free to live lives of meaning and purpose. That same story, and the Passover Seder ritual that retells that story, can be used to envision a path from the narrow place of illness to the wide-open space of thriving–both for those who are ill and for the healers that care for them.
