Wherever you are and whatever you do, remember that liberation in all its ways
is well worth celebrating. Mazzohs or not.
On Kibbutz the holiday is often a holiday for spring
Here’s what Larry has to say:
Passover, for Jews, is the assigned time for asking questions (although in the classic Haggadah, the questions are prescribed, the answers are rote, and the child who asks “What is all of this to you?” is described as “wicked”). At the next Alte Zoom, we’re asking folks to bring a question to share. I’m hoping it will be a question for which you do not have an answer — a question that truly helps you wonder. (The gathering is on April 1st at 6 p.m.; write to altetogether@gmail.com if you’d like to receive the Zoom invitation.) Please join us please join us.
A Zisyn Pesach no matter what you do or don’t. No matter who you are.
Love from all of us.
