Passover, Peace, And Palestine: An Arab-Style Seder In 1920s Long Island

By Dr. Rafael Medoff

No matter how deeply American Zionists yearned for peace their good intentions often went unreciprocated. There was plenty of matzah ball soup and brisket, to be sure. But the dining room was occupied by a makeshift tent, the Passover table was replaced by a pile of sheepskin rugs, and the Lindheim children were dressed in Arab garb.

By Rabbi Dani Staum

In the vernacular of our sages and in our prayers, Pesach is titled, “Z’man chayrusaynu- Time of our freedom.” Although we did attain freedom at the time of our redemption from Egypt, titling the holiday as such doesn’t seem to encapsulate the root of the holiday’s greatness.

‘Living in De Nile’

By Donyel Meese

I love Pesach. Really, I do. Even with the stress and preparation associated with March Madness (I still have no idea why my father thinks it has anything to do with basketball), I enjoy it.

Fearing Holiness as Pesach Approaches

By Rabbi Yehoshua Grunstein

I believe we need to get back to the basics. Holiness is something we should embrace rather than stray from, and thus we should "look" for more opportunities to become holy rather then stay "safely" away from it.

But shall this hardship turn Pesach into the Holiday of misfortune rather than happiness?
