R. Tali Adler on Parashat Beshallah: Ghosts in the Haggadah

The Exodus from Egypt is, in one way of telling it, a ghost story. This is not the usual genre we assign to the tale. We describe it as a story of liberation. The emotions we associate with it are a mixture of triumph, joy, and awe. But stories are created, in part, by where we choose to begin and end them, and the Exodus is a story with many beginnings.
