This evening begins Passover here in Japan (Erev Pesach).
My family's Passover seder has always been based on the kabbalistic reading of the Book of Exodus (in Hebrew: The Book of Names) elucidated by the great teacher Zev b'en Shimon Halevi, in his book *Kabbalah and Exodus*
Gut yom tov to you all.

This book shows that the story of Exodus is also an allegory of the human situation. The inner meaning of the Exodus drama is an escape from bondage. The Israelites’ crossing of the Desert is about the soul’s journey from being bound by habit and instinct into becoming an integrated individual, even as the slave-minded Israelites become an independent unified people. Drawing upon scripture, Jewish folklore and Kabbalah, the author lays out the various stages of development to be taken. This revised edition will be of interest to scholars of the Bible, psychologists, and those on the path of spirituality.
