Happy Passover to all. Zoom Seder - Great idea!
...Tonight we will have a Zoom Seder with our sons and their families in New York...
So moving. And last night at our Zoom Seder we discussed dealing with this COVID19 plague. No one could begin to Imagine dealing with 10 horrible plagues while we were slaves in Egypt.
I read a lot and the Holocaust testimonials and novels are abundant. Recently I read “999” about the first trainload of Jewish single women delivered to Auschwitz. Amazing any of them survived at all. Hearing on this link the voices of the old who survived the Warsaw ghetto was chilling and inspiring.
Bad things happen. The people who work together and care for each other prove that humanity can overcome many hardships. We shall get through this pandemic. Stay strong. Be safe. And STAY HOME!
And a big thank you for those who aid us..Be it medical help, nourishment assistance, or services like power, water, and sanitation. If we care for and about each other we will make it, we will overcome, we will survive!
Blessings on all your heads. May it yet prove to be a sweet Passover.
To Amy's point, there is a beautiful PBS movie called "The Windermere Children" that aired recently. It is an amazing story of refugee children brought to the lake district of England after WWII that illustrates the incredible strength of the human spirit. Look at listings for when it might rerun on local PBS stations or you can find it on Amazon Prime. Make sure to select the movie, not "The Windermere Children: In Their Own Words" which is a followup to the movie featuring interviews with the children as adults.
A powerful message of hope this Holy Week.
