Whether it’s the four questions we have our children ask, or the subtle traditions meant to inspire curiosity, Passover is about passing our Jewish traditions and stories to the next generation. It’s also a time to reflect on the story of our peoplehood and what we can accomplish when we are united.
This year, as we gather around our seder tables with family and friends, many of us will feel a more powerful sense of purpose in the words we read from the Haggadah, and the phrase “Let my people go” will resonate deeply as we think of the 130 Israelis still held captive in Gaza.
The salt water in which we dip our parsley reminds us of the tears their loved ones cry ever single day. The bitter herbs remind us of the harsh circumstances we know they must endure. And the story of our ancestors’ escape from Egypt reminds us of our commitment to Bring Them Home.
This year we need togetherness on Passover. Please see below for a list of local community programs you are invited to attend, as well as resources to help you make your holiday particularly meaningful.
