Dear Friends,
As we prepare to gather at our Seder tables, we do so this year with a heightened awareness of the world around us.
There is much that feels unsettled - war in Israel and across the region, rising antisemitism close to home, and a broader sense of uncertainty that many of us are carrying in different ways. We do not leave that behind as we enter Passover. We bring it with us.
And still - we gather. We tell the story.
Because Passover reminds us that even in moments of constriction, something new can begin. That our story has never ignored what is broken - but has always insisted that redemption is still possible.
To help guide meaningful and honest conversation at your Seder, I’ve put together a set of questions for this year—grounded in this moment, and rooted in our tradition.
You can find them here: LINK HERE
My hope is that these questions will open space - for reflection, for connection, and for seeing ourselves not only as inheritors of this story, but as active participants in shaping what comes next.
Wishing you and your family a Chag Pesach Sameach - filled with meaning, depth, and moments of genuine connection.
