we are alive here
at this time
because they left there
at that time

The seder begins with kiddush and the shecheyanu blessing, acknowledging that God has kept us alive, and we have reached this moment. Later, we declare that if God had not taken our ancestors out of Egypt then, we would still be there, stuck in slavery. Timing is everything. We are ones who came from those who knew when to leave. Our collective memory carries stories fleeing from Poland, Yemen, Romania, Ethiopia, Syria, Ukraine… the list is too long, the traumas are too deep, and yet, we will raise 4 cups of wine with shaking hands, acknowledging the blessing of reaching this time. And a hopeful prayer that those who are still fleeing, and those who are standing up to oppression, find their moment of redemption.

digital print is approx A5 (16 x 23cm) and presented in a window mount card 20 x 25cm.

The original was drawn in wine on watercolour paper, and made for Jewish Renaissance magazine, in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and the ensuing refugee crisis.
