Rabbi Or Zohar from the Misgav Region in the Galilee, offers this perspective on Passover (Pesach) from the Kabbalistic Tradition, sharing how all parts of the story are seen as internal forces for each person, as we are all moving through internal struggles for freedom from forces of oppression both internal and external.
