Mitzrayim - the Narrow Place
The Hebrew word for Egypt is translated as “narrow place.” Slavery in Egypt confined us to a narrow place, with constrictions on our physical, emotional, and spiritual lives. The Exodus is the story of liberation from the things that hold us back.
Rabbi Nachman of Bratzlov (1772-1822) said, “The Exodus from Egypt occurs in every human being, in every era, in every year, and in every day.” I admit it – the quote gives me chills. What an amazing opportunity we have every day – to liberate ourselves from what holds us back. Each choice we make, we face is an opportunity for liberation. This raises the question: how do we liberate those who are not free to choose?

The whole world is a very narrow bridge,
and the most important thing is not to be afraid.
