INTERVIEW | Rabbi Pinchas Taylor Explains History, Power of Passover

Passover begins with a Seder meal to “remember what our ancestors went through,” Rabbi Pinchas Taylor says.

“You do physical actions and experience physical tastes and motions and whatnot to … not only tell over the story, but reexperience the story as it took place,” says Taylor, the author of “Pillars of Faith” and “A Jewish Guide to the Mysterious.”

Passover begins at sunset on Wednesday, and in addition to celebrating the Jews’ deliverance from the Egyptians, Taylor says Passover is also a time to reflect on how we can each leave our “own inner-Egypt.”

“What are the things that are holding me back?” Taylor encourages all to ask during the week of Passover. “What is constraining me? What is limiting me in my life? And how can I make the proper steps to liberate myself? Because when a person takes that first step, God helps them along the way as well. God will split seas for those that walk courageously forward.”

Taylor joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss how the Jewish community continues to celebrate Passover and the symbolism behind the traditions.
