In this episode of the Auburn Unitarian Universalist Fellowship (AUUF) podcast, Rev. Marti Keller discusses the story and significance of Passover, a story she describes as “a moving truth that is simply not true.” Yet even if not factual, the story is compelling because it reveals an inherent truth. The lesson at the heart of Passover is appreciative mindfulness of what we already have, recognizing that we are given what we need.
Richard Shelby was the service associate and presented the morning’s candle lightings.
The podcast was recorded at AUUF’s service on April 13, 2025.
