Moses led the Israelites, descendants of Jacob (also called Israel), out of slavery in Egypt. This exodus is a foundational event in Jewish history, marking their liberation from forced labor and the beginning of their journey toward Canaan, the land promised to their ancestors.
This liberation is profoundly significant, representing the triumph of hope and perseverance over oppression. The Exodus story emphasizes divine intervention and the establishment of a covenant between God and the Israelites, laying the groundwork for their religious and cultural identity. It has served for millennia as a source of inspiration and resilience for oppressed peoples worldwide and remains a cornerstone of Jewish faith and tradition.
