HAPPY PASSOVER

This year, the first night of Passover begins on April 1 — April Fools’ Day. During the Seder, as we gather around the table and read the Haggadah, we retell the powerful story of the Exodus from Egypt. It is a story filled with meaning, tradition, and a structured ritual — symbolic foods, four cups of wine, and timeless lessons.

At its core, the story reminds us that even the mighty Pharaoh was ultimately fooled and outmatched by a higher power. Time and again in history, those who sought to harm the Jewish people believed they could prevail — yet they are gone, while the story and the people endure.

Passover is not only about remembering the past; it is about recognizing resilience, faith, and continuity. Each year, the same story is told, and each year it carries new relevance.

That it coincides with April Fools’ Day is a subtle reminder: there are fools who always misjudge, misunderstand, or underestimate. Let us hope we are not among them.

At the same time, spring is here—a season of renewal, growth, and new beginnings. Just as nature blooms again, so does hope.

Wishing you a meaningful and joyful Passover.

Enjoy the holiday — and don’t be fooled.
