Passover’s Message of Hope in the Aftermath of Oct. 7 - Aish.com Rabbi Akiva’s mysterious Passover Seder that is found in the Haggadah yields a relevant insight for today.

The current month of Adar is supposed to be a time of rejoicing, but given the current realities, it is hard to get into the holiday spirit. In my latest talk (link below) I explain why we need to rejoice, now.
