Editor's Note:

Birds are chirping, the grass is getting green, and the naked winter trees will soon show some color.

"Keep the month of spring, and make the Passover offering to the L-rd, your G-d, for in the month of spring, the L-rd, your G-d, brought you out of Egypt at night." (Deuteronomy 16:1)

Passover is always in the spring month (Aviv), which begins today. After all, what better time is there to celebrate G-d having taken us out of Egypt-the birth of our nation-than the time of year when the world seems to be born again and signs of life begin to pulsate in the gushing rivers and verdant parks?

It is no coincidence that out national birth coincides with the rebirth of the world. After all, the world was created for no other purpose than for us to use it as a vehicle through which we serve G-d. Every person, every animal, every blade of grass joins together in one harmonious song to the Creator of all. And we are the conductors.
