Passover: Liberating God, Jews, and Judaism (original) (raw)

The paper explores the significance of the Passover narrative in relation to Judeo-Christian concepts of liberation and divine authority. It analyzes the initial verses of the Torah, focusing on the metaphorical implications of the letters involved, particularly the aleph and beth, to illustrate themes of humility, self-contraction, and the relationship between God and humanity. Through historical and philosophical lenses, it contrasts the roles of God as Creator and Liberator, and underscores the ethical responsibilities placed upon humanity following divine intervention.
