Readers:
- From wine, we step back to water. This time not the water of Miriam’s Well, but the waters of the ancient Nile.
- The daughter of Pharoah immerses herself.
- Deep beneath the gentle current she hears a faint persistent cry.
- She emerges from the water and wipes the droplets from her eyelashes.
- It is then that she spots the basket. She is not the only one in the water seeking renewal.
- Fear and context fade away. The daughter of Pharoah reaches out to Moshe and cradles him in her arms.
All:
May the water we offer each other now, bring us closer to their embrace.
