• Hag Pesach sameach!

    Tomorrow, all Jewish people will celebrate Pesakh, a holiday of renewal and freedom, established in honor of the Jewish people 's Exodus from Egyptian slavery.

    It was not only a physical act, because in the days of the Exodus the Jewish soul was also freed from the shackles and obstacles that hindered the realization of God's plan, the fulfillment of our mission in this world.

    The Jews quickly left the house of slavery, and we consume matzo these days - cakes baked in a hurry, made of flour with water, without leaven.

    The other most important commandment of the holiday is the duty to pass on the story of the Exodus from generation to generation, so that each of us these days will feel that it is he - personally he, not his distant ancestors - coming from Egypt. To do this, we hold the seder and listen to Haggadah. The four glasses of wine this evening remind us of the four stages of deliverance from slavery mentioned in the Torah: God brought us out, saved us, set us free, and chose us, setting us special tasks in this world.

    Each of the elements of the holiday meal is filled with a deep symbolic meaning, helping us to absorb the atmosphere in which the Jewish people were more than 3300 years ago.

    May the coming holiday bring us closer to realizing the greatness of the God and understanding the special mission of the Jewish people in this world.

    Merry and kosher Pesach! Hag Pesach sameach!
