jan 1, 1446 BC - Exodus from Egypt
Description:
The Exodus from Egypt is the foundational redemption story of the Jewish people. According to the Torah, the Israelites were enslaved in Egypt until God sent Moses and Aaron to confront Pharaoh and demand their freedom. Through the Ten Plagues, the splitting of the Sea, and the journey into the wilderness, Israel was transformed from a group of enslaved tribes into a covenant nation. This event led directly to the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai and became the central memory of Jewish identity, repeated in prayers, holidays, and commandments.
