Message for Pesach 2021 from Rabbi Yitzchok Austin
The festival of Passover, Pesach, is always in the spring, Chodesh ha’Aviv, and there's a connection between the Yom Tov of Pesach and the fact that it falls at this time of the year. During the winter, the ground is dormant and nothing grows, and then all of a sudden comes Spring. The days get a little bit longer, it gets a little bit warmer, and suddenly we start to see the beginning of new produce, new flowers. This is what happened to Am Yisroel in the times of Passover in Egypt. They were slaves both physically and spiritually. They were tired. They were starved. And then all of a sudden, the great miracle of Pesach took place and the Jewish people left Egypt.
So this is the connection between Pesach and Spring. The lesson for us is that we also have to rejuvenate, not just physically but, of course, spiritually. This is one of the important lessons that Pesach tells us, that it's time to refresh ourselves and to rejuvenate ourselves and to not only do the special mitzvahs which are applicable to the time of Passover, that's for sure, but in general: to rejuvenate our connection with Torah and mitzvahs. This is what we can learn from the Yom Tov of Pesach.
I'd like to say thank you to all the people involved in the Shul, the Shul committee and the volunteers who have not only tried to keep the shul going and open during this lockdown, but have also reached out to many other people and tried to ensure they have their connection with Yiddishkeit. I wish everybody a Good Yom Tov and a Koshern un Freilichen Pesach.
