Posters of the Week: The Ten Commandments

“The Ten Commandments” (1956), directed by Cecil B. DeMille, is a cinematic epic that retells the biblical story of Moses and the Exodus (Passover story). The film’s posters are legendary, capturing two of the most recognizable scenes in biblical history: Moses parting the Red Sea and receiving the Ten Commandments.

These images resonate deeply within the Jewish identity, symbolizing both the struggles we endured and still enduring for our freedom and the relevance of ancient stories and shared heritage in our lives.
