3rd day of Passover 5783

by Rabbi Ellen S. Wolintz-Fields

Our greeting to each other on the Festival of Passover is Chag Kasher v’Sameach – May your Passover be Kosher and Happy. The preparations for Passover can be very tedious and time-consuming, and often could be void of joy.  Therefore, we make sure that we wish each other Chag Kasher V’Sameach, to remember that our Passover celebration should not be so overly ‘Kosher’ that it does not have joy, and yet at the same time, we make the proper provisions to make sure it is joyous, as well as Kosher. And for sure this time of year we must wish each other as well Chazak v’Ematz – Be Strong and Courageous!
