Happy Passover to all our AJM Friends

Starts Wednesday April 8, 2020

"The linkage between Passover and Tisha B'Av offers us tremendous hope
and comfort in this tragic time."

"Ten plagues are listed in our Passover Haggadah. Today our minds are preoccupied with the eleventh. Suddenly we are confronted with the reality of the coronavirus which has turned us into contemporary victims like the ancient Egyptian taskmasters of our ancestors.

When we recite the plagues during the Seder, we spill a drop of wine from the cup before us. As a little boy my father taught me the rationale for this beautiful custom. Although the Egyptians were our enemies who brutally enslaved us, we need to remember that they were still human beings. And when human beings suffer our cup cannot be full, our joy cannot be complete. There needs on our part to be at least a drop of compassion for the pain of others." Read More

Global Gathering for Healing

April 5, 2020

"At a pivotal moment in our people's history,
we will come together in a manner different than ever before.

Being unable to be together in person has been distressing and challenging for our community, but there is still enormous strength and power in our collective presence...even when that presence exists online.

Join us as we break down the barriers our geographies can create and strengthen each other through prayers for healing and empowerment."
