Parshas Bo: The Geulah Moon

 If you read my latest blog post a few days ago on the feminine secrets of Redemption, you’ve already had the perfect introduction to today’s Parsha Point.

This is the parsha of geulah – and so much happens here.
But as always, I want to zoom in on one aspect that teaches us so much about the cyclical process – and how redemption rises from within our own cycles.*

The turning point wasn’t the actual exodus or the splitting of the sea.

It was much quieter than that.

It began with the first mitzvah given to the Jewish people as a nation.

To establish a calendar based on the moon cycles.

“This month shall be for you the beginning of months.” (Shemos 12:2)

Redemption didn’t begin with escape.
It began with tracking a cycle.
 

Consciousness. Mindfulness. Noticing the first sliver of light.

Rosh Chodesh Nissan was the initiation of geulah. The ability to mark beginnings. To orient toward renewal even while still in exile.

This is deeply feminine wisdom.

The new moon doesn’t arrive in fullness. It arrives quietly, almost imperceptibly – a seed of light that requires trust and vision to recognize.

So does menstruation.

On the surface, it can look like loss or emptiness. But on a deeper level, it is the clearing that allows something new to begin. A reset. A return to source. 

Redemption begins here – not at the peak of arrival, but at the point where trust finally opens us to more.

From Rosh Chodesh onward, the moon begins to wax.
Light increases.
Momentum builds.
What was once only potential starts to take form.

This mirrors the journey out of Egypt.

Learning the laws of the Korban Pesach, setting aside the lamb, spreading its blood on their doorposts.
Each step brought more clarity, more readiness, more separation from exile.

Until finally, on the fifteenth of Nissan – the full moon – the Jewish people left Egypt.

And not quietly.
Not in hiding.
But in the middle of the day – with the sun at its highest point in the sky.

Both luminaries in their full power.
Sun and moon.
Outer action and inner readiness aligned.

Every month, we live this story.

A return inward.
A clearing.
A quiet beginning.
Growing light.
And eventually – expression.

When we honor this rhythm instead of fighting it, we align ourselves with the cycles of redemption witnessed in Egypt.

The women of that generation understood this instinctively.

They trusted timing. They trusted Life.

They trusted that even in constriction, something was forming.

Redemption is not only something we wait for.
It’s something we practice.

Through honoring our cycles.
Through trusting beginnings that don’t yet look impressive.
Through allowing light to grow in its own time. 

As you know by now, the topic of exile and redemption within our cycles has become a deep passion of mine. There’s so much available when we reclaim and realign with this rhythm. 

This week, we’re opening a small window for early registration to Redemptress.

This is an early opportunity special offering for waitlist members only.

Be sure to join the waitlist so you don't miss it!

Redemptress was born from this exact place: the understanding that redemption is not only something we wait for, but something we embody. Something that begins within our wombs, our cycles, our rhythm, our inner knowing.

It’s an initiation into meeting the part of you that already carries geulah – not as an idea, but as a lived reality.

To kick off this conversation, join us this Tuesday live on Zoom!

✨ Feminine Secrets of Redemption
A live talk with myself and Sora Miriam Davis
exploring cycles, geulah, and the feminine path of redemption.

📆 Tuesday, January 27, 10:30 a.m. EST 

If you’ve been sensing that something is shifting – within you and in the world – this conversation is for you.

*Learning from our cycles is not only about our menstrual cycles, but includes the cyclical experiences of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum as well. A woman past menopause has also already lived these experiences in her bones and can glean from them well past her cycling years, as well.
