After days of preparing, cleaning, kashering, and cooking… our first Seder is upon us this evening. Pesach is such a powerful holy day as it brings together rich traditions and flavors over a festive table. Gathered with loved ones we embark on a journey, from slavery to freedom, we reenact what our ancestors went through over thousands of years ago, but so too we are reminded that freedom is not truly achieved until every human being is free. We must think about those in our own community who are disconnected and not accepted like Gays and Lesbians, disabled, veterans of life (aged), to those throughout the world like in Darfur, Sudan who are not free. I invite you at your Seder table this evening to add a fourth Matzah to remind everyone at your table of the importance of understanding our responsibility that comes with our freedom.  May this be a joyous, spiritual and loving Pesach to you and your family!
