Gratituesday 4.23.24 - From Slavery to Freedom

The story of Passover is one of secrets and springtime, celebration and of course slavery. Jews were enslaved by the Egyptians and were released from bondage to walk through the dessert to freedom. I love Passover and I love creating a Seder. However there is so much strife in our world that the sense of joy is dampened. I am processing it all, and trying to make my Passover experience personal for me.

Sure I do that with food, and community. I am also considering what enslaves me. Um, personal devices anyone? Care to join me in a little reflection? Welcome to my weekly lists. I’m happy to go first.

Chad Pesach Sameach to all who celebrate.
