Personal Perspective: How do we celebrate during a crisis?
Jews around the world are preparing for the Seder, the Passover feast during which families and friends gather together and recount the story of the exodus from Egypt, sharing the tears of enslavement and the joy of freedom.
Is there a particular person or story that you received from someone who came before you that you thought about on October 7? Why and what do you draw from it? Parents and grandparents can consider sharing memories from their own family seders. Who was at their Passover seder growing up? What was on the table? What stories were told? From there, new memories and associations are born.In telling the story of Exodus, every Jewish generation is commanded to not only tell a story that we received but add a new layer worthy of being passed on and shared with and by the next generation.
Where were you on October 7? How have you reacted in its aftermath? What have you done? Where are you now in this story? What will you want to share and pass on about this period?In an acknowledgment that we are not fully free and that our work, and thus our story, is incomplete and eternal, the seder ends with a cry of yearning that defines the Jewish experience and sense of self. We yearn, demand, and believe in a brighter future for ourselves, our people, and the greater world.
