With the exception of Moses, who is still wandering the desert (but with good wi-fi), they all have solid roofs over their heads and are relatively sedentary, especially now, during COVID. They\u2019ve kept in touch and are marking their one-year anniversary in freedom with a Zoom seder, as depicted on this year\u2019s Passover cover.
