Selling Chametz

Even if you don’t keep a kosher kitchen, and/or you don’t “convert” your kitchen for Pesach, there is still spiritual value in selling your chametz: You are engaging with myriad Jews worldwide in a practice that can be traced back to Torah and, if you include a donations to “ma’ot chitin,” you are enabling those in need to more fully celebrate Pesach.

Purim: What’s at Stake

Today is Ta’anit Ester, a half-day fast in solidarity with the biblical Esther who orchestrated a three-day hunger strike to boost her chance of success in approaching the king without having been summoned, potentially a capital offense.

Outrage. Sorrow. Resolve.

Feb 24, 2025 | A Rabbi Writes

outrage

sorrow

resolve

let not the desire for deserved retribution

the justified outrage over evil and lies

overwhelm our deep sorrow

and our deeper resolve

for our resolve

deepened and hardened by our sorrow

is stronger than lies and evil

retribution will come in its due time

kein yehi ratzon / may it be so
