Part II
When we began to recite the haggadah, we all wept. We
did not need to add extra discussion linking us to the Israelites'
departure from Egypt and the miracles they experienced. We represented
all that was lost as much as we represented the reality of survival. We
were not telling the story of the ancient deliverance that night, but
were living the contemporary recital of our own survival and the
continuation of our people . . .

A Passover insight
This cloud I sense does not speak, it only weeps. This cloud is

It's difficult to comprehend that beyond being a freak show, cotton-candy castles,
ninety-foot alligators and real-life cartoon characters could hold much purpose
in a meaningful life. My stomach plunges as I think of American dreams built on
the emptiness of fairy tales . . .

Sefirat Haomer, Introduction
Passover and Shavuot are respectively the point of departure
and destination of a journey. The forty-nine days in-between are the
path we follow to reach the goal. The journey is comprised of seven full
weeks which the Giving of the Torah comes to crown on the fiftieth.
Each week offers us an opportunity to work on a different aspect of our
being as we cleanse and ready ourselves for Divine Revelation.

Set is the table in the ancient way:
With the triumphal wine, the humble-bread,
The platters that to hungry eyes display
The story-food whose meanings we shall read.
