What words do we have left after a week with two seders and news that boggles the mind and breaks our hearts. My wise colleague to our south, Rabbi Evan Schultz wrote this poem and captured the feeling in my heart so poignantly that I wanted to share it with all of you.
I used to think even two seders was one seder too many.
resetting the table sweeping up the matzah crumbs asking four more questions
reheating the soup and the brisket eating bitterness kids up way too late.
but this year i wish there was a third seder even a fourth and fifth.
because i could use some more order in a chaotic world
where I don’t know what even tomorrow holds for my people.
I can only pray that the words from our Seder tables continue to nourish and sustain our tired souls, bringing not only order, but comfort, hope, and peace.
