Resistance to being free…?

This morning I listened to a Podcast from the excellent site On Being. If you have 50 minutes to enjoy some very stimulating Midrash on the Exodus story with a Jewish woman scholar and author click here. (Hint: I listened while I did the ironing!!) The psychological, spiritual and current political dimensions of this story were opened up for me in a way that makes me want to find out a whole lot more about Jewish Midrash!
