Gershon Wolf Poet Free verse

Passover 5780

Refresh, Revive, Rejuvenate
  at the Passover Seders
    Festival of Freedom
  followed by the peace of the Sabbath

Three days to pause, to tell the story
  to delve into its myriad meanings
this year, all within the immediate family unit
  with the people who mean the most

Beata Agustin April 13, 2020 at 6:03 AM Thanks for sharing this. I'm delighted with your 3R's only through God can be possible: "Refresh, Revive, Rejuvenate." God bless you. Gershon Wolf April 13, 2020 at 2:32 PM Thanks, Beata. Of course, after three days, there's a 4th R as well: Relief! (that it's over). Blessings, Gershon

Quoth Theraven April 9, 2020 at 9:52 AM Gershon, Three days of Passover. Isn't it telling how much the meaning resonates more than ever, this Passover. In salt water tears the karpa dipped, and bitter herbs of the maror and hazeret sit on the seder plate along with the hope of the zeroa. Were these traditions always there to warn us? -Richard Gershon Wolf April 11, 2020 at 9:47 PM Here's something to chew on: The very first Passover, we ate maror before God smote the first-born! Did we need to be reminded of our suffering before we left? No! We had faith God would 'deliver.' Happy Pesach!
