Storytelling is one of the hallmarks of the Jewish tradition. We see it as we reread the same Torah portions year after year and as we celebrate holidays by diving into the same stories and texts. Most notably, the core of the holiday of Passover, the Seder, is the retelling of the Jewish People's journey from slavery to freedom. Every spring, we regale the moments of struggle, joy, awe, and unexpected twists and turns in our story of freedom — learning something new every year. But what many fail to recognize is the mental wellness benefits of narrating and reframing the trauma of our slavery in Egypt, and how we can do the same thing in our own lives.
