31 March 2026 · A sentence from the teachings of Rav Kook

Brothers

„Who led us to the abyss of darkness of brother hating brother, to the point of destruction and the uprooting of all that was built up with self-sacrifice and the toil of generations, beyond human power, if not the foreign nourishment from the leaven and the sourdough of the spiritual battle?”From Freedom and the Removal of Chametz

We desire freedom. Freedom of the body and freedom of the soul. True freedom that will allow us not to chase after what is foreign to us, not to miss who we are, but to connect truly to our inner selves. The Torah of life we have merited, the state into which we were born, the tremendous successes in all the fields of economy and spirit – all together, they are part of the building of our redemption. If we sit together at the Seder, we will merit to see one another as brothers, and to understand the immense privilege of the joining of souls and bodies so different, into what ultimately constitutes one flag. Israel.

I wish all the members of the WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram groups a kosher, quiet, and joyful Passover!
