Description

A week from tonight, we will sit around our tables with family and friends and read about the seminal event that shaped our Jewish identities – the Exodus from Egypt.   We will drink four cups of wine, taste the bitterness of slavery with a bite of maror, and sample the sweetness of freedom with a mouthful of charoset.   We will eat matza and read the age-old story of our people in Egypt and the miracles that released them from physical bondage and led them to freedom. The youngest child at the table will ask four questions, beginning with Ma Nishtana ha-laila hazeh mikol haleilot? “Why is this night different from all other nights?” But perhaps a better question might be, “What makes this story different from all other stories?”Each week, a member of the clergy offers their personal perspective on a topic of their choice, such as the week's Torah portion, a Jewish holiday, ritual, custom, or history.
