Passover in Des Moines

long time no post. We had a wonderfull Passover here in Des Moines. For the first Seder we had a Seder for the Elderly Jews at Valley West Apts. about 12 Jews attended. While at the JRC about 30 people attended.We had an inspiring Moshiach Feast. about 25 people attended. Each guest has a chance to give over a personal redemption experience. We drank the 4 cups (yes this is round 2) ate Matzah and sang inspiring songs. This year in Jerusalem!!!

A word on the Torah Portion

G-d tells Moses COME to Pharaoh, Shuoldent it say GO to Pharaoh? Answer: Moses was afraid to approach Pharaoh because he was very mighty, since he has a very high and holy source in the worlds above, so G-d told Moses COME; Come with me, let's go together to Pharaoh, there is no need to be afraid. We can learn a lesson from this: whenever we are faced with life's challenges, at times we might get overwhelmed and think that it is impossible to overcome the challenge, G-d tells us COME with me, there is no need to get overwhelmed, G-d is always there to help us.
Shabbat Shalom!
