Dear Ohav community,
We enter this Passover in the strange situation of celebrating freedom while confined in our homes. But although we are physically apart, we are connected in spirit and are grateful for the strength of our community.
The Passover seder directs us to be creative and thoughtful as we tell stories of oppression and liberation, and turn our hopes to a world that is redeemed and whole, the world of Elijah. This is a time to remember the power of kindness,of chesed, to behave towards one another, and towards ourselves, with patience and love.
While we will be mostly “offline” for the Yom Tov days of Passover and for Shabbat, please know that your rabbis are always available by telephone if you are facing an emergency or feel a need to speak with us. Our contact information can be found on our respective voice mails by calling the Ohav office 518-489-4706.
In this season of renewal, may you and your loved ones be healthy and whole, in body and in spirit, and may you enjoy a safe, sweet and meaningful Pesach. Chag Sameach
As the celebration of Passover continues, it is customary to say Yizkor on the eighth day of Passover, April 16. Rabbi Rena will be leading a live Yizkor service at 11am.
