Dear Friends,
Tonight, we will sit down to the seder the first time ever, without guests, without other family. Just us two and our own kids.
This Passover let us focus on our trust in G-d for a better future. The Jewish people were so overwhelmed with slavery they couldn't fathom freedom. The world was so dark they couldn't dream of a tomorrow.
The Passover story and the seder is relevant today more then ever. Tomorrow there can be a cure. Tomorrow the world can be bright again. Its happened before and it will happen again.
The Haggadah Says: And this (Hashem’s blessings and the Torah) is what kept our fathers and what keeps us surviving. For, not only one arose and tried to destroy us, rather in every generation they try to destroy us, and Hashem saves us from their hands.
Every generation has its challenges, every decade has it fears, and this year we are facing very hard times around the world. The Haggadah gives us a promise of hope. Let's take the Haggadah advice and put our trust in Him.
Tonight, we will be raising a glass of wine- a l'chaim - to you, our friends and community. May G-d watch over us and protect us. May G-d bless all those who are suffering physically, emotionally or financially. May we all merit a happy and joyous Passover ushering in the final exodus. This Year in Jerusalem!
Warm wishes,
Rabbi Chaim & Chanie
