"The #Hebrews’ flight from #Egypt is on a lot of #Jewish minds right now, as the annual cycle of #Torah readings has reached the Book of #Exodus.
But for many Jewish leaders in #Minnesota, the ancient story has particular resonance.
With #Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents descending on the #TwinCities in search of #undocumented #immigrants and stirring chaos and pushback, the story of Exodus — about a king who tries to thwart the growing number of “foreigners” in his midst, and the leader who seeks to protect them — is inspiring widespread anti-#ICE actions.
“As we’re currently reading in the Torah, #Moses confronts #Pharoah knowing it won’t be easy, and feeling his own doubts about such an act,” #Rabbi #AaronWeininger, who leads the Conservative #AdathJeshurun Congregation in the suburb of #Minnetonka, told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. “And in doing so, the #Israelites enslaved in Egypt are able to get unstuck. They’re able to taste freedom.”
