…h,” it is written in Deuteronomy 28, then the “Lord will bring you back to Egypt in ships…. And there, you will seek to be sold to your enemies for slaves and handmaids … [and] serve other deities unknown to you or your forefathers.” The ships were the clincher—why would Jews be carried back to slavery in ships if they were living in the desert?

The intention was to eat it all, in addition to our family traditional fast-breaking fruit salad, the meal that followed prayer, and then the stash. But the stomach was NOT having it.
