This is a rather old concept in Judiasm, known as "remembering you were slaves in Egypt."

A timely comment, considering that tonight we make our trek out. And since today is the day that the sun returns (as it does every 28 years) to its original position when the world was created: Blessed is the One Who does the work of creation...
Commentary: Retikhah says: D'HM: Work of Creation: "Work" refers to our ongoing task of renewal. When the sun returns to its place, that is our opportunity to start fresh and recreate the world in God's image, a place where God will dwell among and within us.

*nod* This is something I've always really admired about Judaism. As a Black woman, this really resonates with me: the injustices I've suffered fuel my committment to social justice, my desire to see no one have to suffer injustice.
