... Faith House Manhattan Passover Seder for multi-faith crowd is beginning, with singing of niggun, a wordless song of longing...
... "We give thanks for the liberation of days gone by. And we pray for all who are still bound." ...
... this is Festival of Freedom, we wash each others hands to give up what we clutch, and then raise them with gratitude ...
... Passover is not about passing over but about passing thru, we are blessing bitter herb, a symbol of renewal, new birth ...
... matzo is unleavened bread, is not puffed up, our soul does not need additives, faith is simple, "unless you are a child " ...
... we tend to deny we are captives, we play wise, we play dejected, and we play naive, but we have hard time facing our bondage ...
... modern days Pharaohs: consumption, prejudice, corporate thugs, resentment, indifference, military self-perpetuation, entitlement, apathy..
... big part of Passover is grieving for Egyptian people as one's own family, grieving that suffering is a part of our stories of freedom ...
... by blessing the bread we bless every thing and every one that gives us sustenance ... Seder photos by Carlos Martín |
