| Explore the four calls to Freedom at your Seder: - Freedom from Suffering: How do we relieve the burdens of others in our families, communities and the world?
- Freedom of Belief: Do we exercise our faith freely? Do our actions embody a pride in being Jewish?
- Freedom to Celebrate: How appreciative are we of our blessings? Do we joyously cherish every day?
- Freedom of Purpose: Do we explore how the Torah guides our lives? Is the Torah an anchor for our values and vision?
Reflect on the Four Freedoms of Passover. Take a few minutes to prepare some answers to these questions and share the challenge with people at your Seder. Wishing you and your family a joyous Pesach! Rabbi Daniel Cohen
