Is enlightenment the goal in Judaism? It’s only half the story.

There is a real idea of rising higher, of inner freedom, of connecting to something beyond yourself, especially around Pesach. But Judaism doesn’t stop there.

It’s not about escaping the world. It’s about bringing something higher into the world.

The Haggadah centers on teaching your children, caring for others, showing up in the smallest details. That’s not separate from spirituality, that is spirituality.

We can think it’s all about big impact and big ideas, but Pesach reminds us that real depth is in how you live your daily life, how you treat people, how you show up at your table.

True freedom is taking the highest places you reach and bringing them into the real world.

That’s the goal. Chag Sameach!

What is the message of Pesach in 2026? Freedom isn’t just doing whatever you want. That’s the beginning, what Rabbi Sacks zt’l called freedom from coercion.

Real freedom is deeper. It’s knowing what to do when no one is forcing you, how to use that space to serve Hashem.

I see this in my work, and I feel it with Israel. We’re fighting for freedom from war, from people trying to destroy us. But Pesach is pushing us further, to ask who we are beyond the war.

Cheirut, freedom, is tied to charut, engraved on the luchot. Real freedom is becoming a people who can fully live, serve Hashem, and express our neshama in a world of shalom.

We should merit safety, and then the freedom to become who we’re meant to be. Chag Sameach!

Dayeinu is an absolute banger 🎵🫓 and I mean that. It’s the catchiest song in the world, but it’s not just catchy, it’s training us how to live.

Dayeinu teaches us that our lives are meant to be one long thank you to Hashem. Even this would have been enough, and still we keep going, we keep thanking, we keep noticing.

That’s the song of the Haggadah, and it’s meant to become the song of our souls. Chag Kasher vSameach!

There are so many lonely souls right now ❤️‍🩹 and Pesach quietly asks something very simple from us. כָּל דִּכְפִין יֵיתֵי וְיֵיכֹל, whoever is hungry, come and eat.

Of course this is about physical nourishment, opening our homes and making sure people have what they need for the holiday. But there are also hungry souls, people who are starving for connection, for warmth, for someone to notice them.

Pesach is peh-sach, a mouth that speaks. A message, a voice note, an invitation. It doesn’t have to be big. With technology today, we can reach out in seconds.

Think about someone who might be lonely and just take that small step. You might be the one who softens someone’s loneliness this year. Chag Sameach ❤️

The Haggadah is “guilty” of Zionism 🇮🇱

Because the Jewish story is a story of going from slavery to freedom, and from exile to Eretz Yisrael.

We say it clearly. Hashata avdei, now we are slaves. Lashana haba’ah bnei chorin. Hashata hacha, now we are here. Lashana haba’ah b’Eretz Yisrael.

This is not a side idea. It is the story.

You can’t separate Judaism from the hope of returning home without losing something essential.

Pesach is about identity. Who we are, where we’re going, and what we’re building.

Chag kasher vSameach.

It is the greatest Shabbat of the year.

Shabbat HaGadol.

The Shabbat before Pesach. The Shabbat before geulah.

And it asks one question.

If this was the last Shabbat before Mashiach, how would you live? How would you love, sing, eat, pray, learn?

Shabbat HaGadol is a reminder to live with that awareness now. To bring out the greatness of your neshama, as if redemption is right here.

Bimheira beyameinu.

Good Shabbos.

Converts are an incredible gift to the Jewish people.

There’s a beautiful idea from the Sefat Emet on Pesach. When the Torah says we left Mitzrayim with rechush gadol, great wealth, it’s not just physical.

It’s spiritual.

Part of that “wealth” was the souls of future converts, hidden within Egypt, waiting to be revealed and to join Am Yisrael.

Even the letters hint to it. ג ר — ger.

Geulah is not just about us returning. It’s about gathering souls from all over the world who find their place within the Jewish people.

Chag Sameach.

Passover is here, and open miracles are returning.

We are used to thinking that the miracles of Egypt were once in history. But Chazal teach that as we move closer to Geulah, the miracles come back. Not hidden. Open.

Look at what is happening. Protection that doesn’t make sense. Precision that shouldn’t be possible. Outcomes that go beyond what we would expect. This is not just history repeating. This is something being revealed again in our time.

Yetziat Mitzrayim is not just something we remember. It is something we are starting to experience.

You still see pain. You still see loss. We daven for healing, for comfort, for the end of all suffering. But at the same time, you have to open your eyes and notice what is unfolding.

Open miracles are returning.
