As we prepare for Pesach, we are reminded of the Haggadah’s imperative to retell the story of the Exodus as if we had personally come out of Egypt. This year marks the second Passover since the October 7th attacks in Israel, and as we celebrate redemption and freedom, we must also remember those being held hostage by terrorists in Gaza. Our partners, Rocky Mountain Rabbis and Cantors (RMRC), have compiled numerous Pesach reflections and resources to supplement your Haggadah, from 2019 to 2025. Together, we can find strength in our shared commitment, knowing that at Seders around the world, Jews are continuing to honor our extended family in captivity. As we declare, “Next year in Jerusalem,” we are hopeful that next year we will all be free.
All of us at JEWISHcolorado and RMRC wish you a meaningful and comforting Pesach.
