Editor's Note:

Dear readers,

Passover celebrates the birth of the Jewish nation over 3,000 years ago. But the story of the Exodus does not end there. It is just the start of a chain of events whose culmination we will celebrate on the last days of Passover. Then we will read [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=1BAD6557AC3A7A0D84686D3455E08915&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ] of the future, the time of Moshiach [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=C791498F39E3A20539386FFF617FACF7&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ], of the utopian time to come, an epoch of harmony, health and economic stability for all. A time of spiritual enlightenment and G‑dly awareness. For the first time in history, technology has made some of this dream a real possibility, but actualizing that potential will require effort on our part and more than a little G‑dly intervention.

These last days of Passover remind us that the past must be actualized in the present and projected into the future: Exodus, redemption, the birth of Jewish peoplehood and global emancipation cannot be talked about as ideas from the past, but must be activated by ourselves, in the here and now.

We do this by creating a Moshiach reality in our own lives. Do someone a favor, study some Torah, observe another mitzvah, and bring yourself—and the entire world—one step closer to the ultimate exodus.

Eli Rubin,
on behalf of the Chabad.org Editorial Team

Last Days of Passover


Our liberation was not yet complete. Not until the Sea of Reeds parted for us—and then crashed down to utterly destroy our Egyptian pursuers. Only then did we feel our chains fall away forever.

Why Does This Child Not Question? (By Tzvi Freeman)

SEVENTH DAY OF PASSOVER - WHEN THE SEA SPLITS

THE PERSONAL (PASSOVER) PATH TO FREEDOM

Getting Unstuck (video) (By Shais Taub)


The Jewish people's redemption from Egypt is a model for getting "unstuck" from seemingly impossible situations in one's own life.
