Jewish Life

The season of Passover

As the story goes in The Prince of Egypt, there was once a child raised in a palace who discovered that his true story was something deeper—something rooted in courage, identity, and the longing for freedom. His journey was not easy. It was filled with uncertainty, fear, and moments of doubt. And yet, step by step, he found the strength to walk forward—not alone, but with a people beside him.
 

This is the heart of Passover.
 

Passover is not just a story we tell—it is a story we enter. Around the table, with laughter, questions, songs, and shared food, we remember what it means to move from narrow places into possibility. We remember that even in times of fear or uncertainty, there is a path forward. And we remember that no one walks it alone.
 

For children, the story feels like an adventure—rivers turning, seas parting, brave choices being made. For adults, it is a reminder: freedom begins with small acts of courage, with hope held tightly, and with community gathered close.
