    The time is upon us
    for freedom...
    for freeing
    ourselves
    from the bondage
    of slavery
    of winter

    spring comes
    and we break free

    Nisan comes and it's like the world opens up.

    The waters part
    the world renews.

    The new moon of Nisan is only 15 days from the moment of the Exodus...it takes only a few moments for freedom to come, but a lifetime to truly believe in it.

    Experience the Exodus as you've never experienced it before - in every generation, we should feel as though we personally went forth from Egypt. If I had been there, I'm sure I would have tweeted it - http://twitter.com/TweetTheExodus - it will be amazing.
