This year, rather than focusing just on the seder, maybe consider how you and your family might incorporate even just one more element of Jewish tradition into your lives during the eight days of the holiday.
It rings like a surprise from another decade.
Our discomfort with animal sacrifice is not that we love animals more, but that we value personal sacrifice less.
What others might perceive as weakness, we should perceive as our calling.
For the people of Israel, freedom is not the open skies—a world of unlimited and unguarded possibilities. It is the hot and dry slog through the desert, full of prickly rules and regulations.
While the Jewish people continue to face enemies seeking our destruction, we continue to survive.
Between memory and motion lies the work every tradition must perform.
In order to have a Jewish future, we need to have more Jewish babies.
May the story you share be a reminder that through our fears and uncertainty, alongside the bitterness we experience, redemption awaits.
