So, hi there universe...my name is Mira, daughter of Chava and I am a Hebrew living in Egypt. Today there was a proclamation that our rights to pay have been revoked. My Father said that he had seen this coming. In the past years more and more changes have been made and we have been given fewer and fewer rights and now we are slaves. There is no kinder way to put it. I never thought that my life would be this way. Tomorrow I begin work as a maid in an Egyptian general's home. I don't know what his wife will be like or what their house will look like or how I will be treated.
As soon as this new Pharoah came to power and denied the acts of Joseph I had been concerned. How could he just choose to forget the things the Joseph, our ancestor, did for Egypt?
As concerned as I am, I'd like to be hopeful. Maybe there will be a good thing from this. We are not necessarily slaves...we are being given work from our leadership...that is a good thing, right?
