Passover Meals

Shalom everyone!

I just finished today my last of six Passover Seder meals this week. These were truly great and memorable class encounters for me and, I hope, for each and everyone of you as well.

Although prayer services, they were nonetheless fun-filled experiences getting to eat traditional Jewish dishes, trying out things we've never tasted before, all over stories of how God led his people from slavery into freedom, from bondage into fullness of life. As we shared the food, so did we share in the experience of our forefathers in the faith, letting its power, made present by our anamnesis, touch us in the present and unite us with them.

Thanks to everyone for making these Passovers truly meaningful for all of us. Special thanks to the parents who supported our endeavors and helped prepare some of the food.

Dayenu, Adonai, Dayenu!
