Exploring Judaism with Rabbi Baum: Every Friday at 11:30 AM (resumes May 3)

During the Seder, we ask the same question every year - "How is this night different from all other nights?" This year we add another question: "How is this year different from all other years?"

This year, we must challenge ourselves to see how the horrors of the attack against Israel on October 7th, the ensuing Gaza war, and the explosion of antisemitism worldwide and here, have affected us as individuals, families, communities, and as a people. How can we speak about freedom when there are still 130 Israeli hostages being held in Gaza? Where can we find hope this year as we say, "Next Year In Jerusalem"?

I've put together some links and resources for your Seder table. Please use them in good health!

Wishing everyone a happy Passover,

Rabbi David Baum
