The Journey is Ongoing

ב In Every Generation
When I was growing up, seders were a gathering of refugees, each with their own story to tell. Highlighted over and over again, we were reminded to remember the stranger because we too were once strangers …
Where did we come from? Everywhere and nowhere Yet there is specificity Each starting point unique Unlike any other
So, the journey begins Alone and uncharted Suddenly you look around And see others Each carrying their own load Hurrying forward Each parcel different from any other Filled with memory With flavors With fragrances With all that was left behind
And the journey continues As we go together Hoping, no, praying for a place that will take us Where we can put down our burdens Where we can share our stories
