Rabbi Eiduson's blog

Dear Members of Congregation B'nai Torah,

At sundown tonight, in the light of April's full 'pink moon,' we will celebrate our great Festival of Freedom. We will sit at our home seder tables with family members and friends - together with the strangers we invite into our midst - to recall our bitter oppression in Egypt and then to recount the story of our miraculous redemption into freedom. We augment our own saga of suffering and deliverance to include the plights of others who, even today, are broken from physical or spiritual bondage. 

Reflections on the past year and a look-ahead to 2019.

There is a story of Rabbi Israel from Salanter, went for a walk in the neighborhood one dark winter evening. Along the way, he saw a small house with a dim light in the window that glowed in the darkness. The light drew him to the house, and he entered it.
