The Talmud teaches that 30 days before Passover, we should learn about the holiday and its meaning. In that spirit, I humbly offer "30 Days of Liberation." For each of the 30 days preceding the holiday, I will offer a brief message drawn from the wisdom Passover imparts. I hope you find these messages meaningful and inspiring. Feel free to share/forward.
30 Days of Liberation: Day 19 - At the Seder, before we retell the Passover story, we break the middle of the three ceremonial pieces of matzah. The two whole pieces conceal the broken piece as we remember the journey from darkness to light. This is us: harboring flaws, pains, and struggles underneath a veneer of perfection. But so long as we ignore the brokenness within, we cannot be redeemed.
