Passover Greeting
Passover is the original fifteen step program
to achieve growth and freedom. Every ritual at the seder
is meant to open a channel connecting your inner and outer
life. That's the definition of a mitzvah, a connection.
The Matzah is humility. To grow we need to
let go of our self-centeredness and allow something higher
into our lives. This process paves the way for allowing
other people into our lives, just as they are. From humility
we move to self-assessment. This often leads to bit of sadness
that we haven't achieved all we are able with the talent
and goodness given us. This is the symbol of the Moror -
bitter herbs. But this is a good bitterness. It encourages
us to take action and move ahead in life to new forms of
expression. This is represented by the wine. Four levels
of growth leading to redemption. Redemption can be described
as understanding and using the energy from the places where
we are stuck in life. Revealing the spark of G-dliness within
all creation and freeing ourselves from our personal Egypt,
our personal limitations and constraints.
Have a great seder and Passover
