SHEMOT | The Journey Begins Senator-elect Raphael Warnock, Atlanta, Georgia, USA
וַיָּ֥קָם מֶֽלֶךְ־חָדָ֖שׁ עַל־מִצְרָ֑יִם אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹֽא־יָדַ֖ע אֶת־יוֹסֵֽף׃
A new king arose over Egypt who did not know Joseph. Exodus 1:8
כִּ֥י יָדַ֖עְתִּי אֶת־מַכְאֹבָֽיו…וָאֵרֵ֞ד לְהַצִּיל֣וֹ׃
I have known their sufferings…So I have come down Exodus. 3:7-8
( Tr. Fox)
The book of Exodus begins by showing us Pharoah-nature, the nature that
cannot sit where other folk sit in order to feel what they feel, the nature that closes its heart to others’ suffering. Torah presents us with one of the burning questions of our time, of all time: How does transformation of suffering occur? How do we humans affect the formless Creator of Genesis, the Flow of Life that is Eternally Present, so that there is sitting “where other folk sit in order to feel what they feel.“
