These six events from Jewish history, which the Torah traditionally requires observant Jews to remember each day, are:Exodus from Egypt: The miraculous departure of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. Amalek’s attack: The unprovoked attack by the Amalekite nation against the vulnerable Israelites as they left Egypt. Miriam’s punishment: The tale of how Miriam was afflicted with a skin disease for speaking negatively about her brother Moses. Many ancient wise people recognized the role of history as a guide, its ability to illuminate, the responsibility to remember, and the consequences of forgetting history. In addition, examining what we do today in the context of history gives perspective to our decision-making.
