A Passover Message from Rabbi Micah Lapidus
For our Passover holiday issue, we invited members of our community to share their responses.
Rabbi Micah Lapidus is the director of Jewish and Hebrew studies at the Alfred & Adele Davis Academy.
We don’t leave our struggles behind. Our struggles, like our triumphs and our tragedies, our hopes and our dreams, are part of the sacred inheritance that we carry with us always. A German Jewish philosopher once referred to The Torah as the “portable homeland of the Jewish People.” His words echo in my ears as I write this response. All that we have experienced, both personally and as a people, is part of the Torah that we carry with us, part of the portable homeland that allows us, even demands of us, that we find ways to thrive and flourish in each and every generation.
