The Story of Your Freedom
Passover reminds me of family and freedom because it is the biblical festival that celebrates our ancestors' Exodus from Egyptian slavery and the birth of our nation. The Passover mitzvah is to retell and relive the Exodus, again and again, each year. The idea is that our Jewish family and spiritual freedom are ongoing.
The Talmud says: "We must all feel as if we have gone out of Egypt." So clearly, Passover celebrates a moment in history and empowers us to achieve personal spiritual freedom today, making the ancient tale of the Exodus your story that's about to happen today.
The Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory, spoke and wrote extensively on the great spiritual power and potential in the Passover rituals. The present magazine seeks to share some of the Rebbe's ideas on Passover and how it relates to our daily life.
Please enjoy our Passover guide and inspiring articles that will hopefully help you along on your road to enjoying true freedom.
Wishing you a kosher and happy Passover,
Rabbi and Mrs. Shliach
