CALLED OUT OF THE NARROWNESS INTO THE EXPANSE

The Four Cups

Exodus 6:6-7

y∞ItaExwøh◊w I will take you out of bondage

y¶I;tVlA…xIh◊w I will free you from serving what is not true

It is time, the Infinite calls, Come,

V’hotzati, I will take you out.
V’hitzalti, I will deliver you to a new place.
V’ga’alti, I will help you transform.
V’lakachti, I will bring you into relationship
And you will know your beloved place amid the myriad of all life. — Exodus 6:6-7
I can’t the soul cries,
I am so afraid.
Of course you are, the Infinite responds,
You have been in the narrow place for so very long.
But I will lift you up,
So just for a moment you will see
The expanse of possibilities,
Then you will decide what is more frightening
To stay where you are
Or to step out towards what might be.
— Rabbi Yael Levy
