The month of Nissan started this week. It is the month of Pesach, when we celebrate our ancestors’ exodus from Egypt. But although the Exodus occurred more than 3,300 years ago, our sages remind us that in every generation, and indeed every single day, a Jew must view himself as having left Egypt too.
We all deal with our own Egypts — the various inhibitions that restrain us from being who we should be — and when we break free that is as great as the original Exodus.
Moreover, the name of the month itself implies that we can still experience a miraculous exodus even today. The word “Nissan” shares a root with the word “nes” – meaning, “miracle.” So not only can we break free from our inhibitions, we can do so in the most miraculous way possible, just like our ancestors did, and just as the Jewish people have done throughout history.
Our existence is miraculous in the first place, so it isn’t out of the question for us to demand that we continue seeing miracles. So as this month of miracles is now upon us, we turn to G-d and demand that He show us revealed miracles: may the Israeli hostages be freed, may the IDF succeed in its mission of protecting the Land of Israel, and may we finally experience the ultimate miracle – the coming of Moshiach!
Good Shabbos!
Rabbi Chaim & Chanie
