Our hearts and minds are in Israel and God willing, we will witness miracles as in the redemption from Egypt in our time. As we prepare for Pesach, we pray for healing and joy for all of our families, community, Israel and humanity. In light of the situation in Israel, please consider adding this additional version of Dayenu composed by Rabbi Yosef Rimon and this reading about the redemption - click here You are Part of the Redemption: "In every generation we have to see ourselves as if we had left Egypt." This is generally understood to mean that on the Seder night we should envision ourselves leaving Egypt. Rabbi Avraham Kook understood this phrase differently. He gave it a more contemporary meaning: "In every generation every person needs to see how they are playing a role in the redemption of Israel and mankind." Egypt was only the beginning of the process. The redemption continues in every generation. Each of us is responsible to play a unique role and contribute to bringing that great day. What role are we each playing in the role of redemption in the world today? Seder Tip: Pesach is the quintessential night of gratitude. To learn more, click here. Ask everyone around the table (or send a note to your guests in advance) to share an experience for which they are eternally grateful. When have you encountered God? Thank you Elisheva Shmidman for preparing this CAS Family Pesach guide. As reminders begin counting the Omer on Thursday night. For more info on counting the Omer, click here.
