At this point, we are asked to tell the story of exodus, from Joseph's taking refuge in Egypt, through the growth of a nation, through enslavement, rebellion, war, exile, creation of the rule of law and entry as free people in a promised land.

Reader 25:It saddens us that any struggle for freedom involves suffering. Generally, we drink wine to rejoice. Therefore, for each plague we take out a drop of wine from our cup. This way we do not rejoice over the suffering of others. The plagues that, we are told, afflicted the Egyptians were:
