Celebrate Passover 2022 with Beth Am
Celebrate Passover 2022 With Beth Am
Passover Begins on Friday Evening, April 15
Each year, Passover calls us to remember the Exodus from Egypt as if we, personally, had journeyed from slavery to freedom. As we retell this story, we pray that one day all people who are still enslaved will be free. As the Haggadah teaches us, "In every generation, each of us must see ourselves as if we personally went out from Egypt." We celebrate Pesach not simply to repeat the tale of our enslavement and liberation, but to find new and personal meaning in that narrative each year. As Passover approaches, it’s time to think about how we’ll prepare our homes and our spirits for the arrival of the Feast of Freedom! As you cleanse your homes of chametz (products with leavening), please consider donating unopened packages to the hungry. And, be sure to check out Passover resources below.
