In case I’m running late tomorrow… Chag Pesach sameach! Happy Passover, our Festival of Freedom.
3500 years ago, the Twelve Tribes of Israel walked out of Egypt. For hundreds of years they had been slaves. Within three months they reached Sinai and were given history’s most comprehensive legal and moral system. For 3500 years we have preserved God’s greatest gift to mankind - the Torah.
In this long diaspora, Jews kept Passover and finished the Seder with the words: L'Shanah haba'ah b’Yerushalayim - Next year in Jerusalem.
In the late 1800s, thousands of diaspora Jews believed it was time to return home to Eretz Israel and the final redemption began.
“In each and every generation, a person is obligated to see himself as if he left Egypt.”
-Talmud Pesachim 116b
