Midwives' Escape: a conversation with Maggie Anton
Update: 2025-04-15
Description
It's Passover! Time to slurp the soup, crunch the matzah, and make jokes about Moses never stopping to ask directions in the desert. It's also a great time to speak with Maggie Anton about her latest book, the Midwives' Escape. Through the eyes of the Egyptian midwives, we see what life was like for the Israelites as they learned to transition from a people enslaved to a self-supporting community.
