“In every generation, every Jew should feel as if they were personally redeemed from Egypt,” Rabbi Ammiel Hirsch quotes from the Haggadah. “The Haftarah reading for the second day of Passover mentions Natan-Melech once, in passing. But this very week, Israeli archeologists announced that they discovered an ancient, 2,641-year-old seal impression bearing his name. Because Jerusalem is slowly revealing its buried secrets, we can trace our very essence to the source. We would not be here if they had not been there. Today, we are the beating heart of Judaism.”
Join Us As We Travel to Strasbourg, Paris, and Brussels, October 22-30
Anti-Semitism is an everyday problem for Europe's Jews. As a persecuted people, we know that we must not remain silent in the face of rising hate. This October, our synagogue will travel to Europe to meet with their Jewish communities and local Jewish leaders, learn more about the modern resurgence of anti-Semitism that threatens them there, and support our people in their struggle.
