An inspirational Pesach message

This morning I received a link to a Pesach message that I found encouraging and inspiring (thanks, Michelle!).

This is a six and a half minute video of the Chief Rabbi of South Africa, Dr. Warren Goldstein, speaking on the topic ‘Vehi sheamda – and the covenant stood for us’.  This is a phrase from the Passover hagada, in which is mentioned that in every generation, there have been those who have sought to destroy the Jewish people.  And yet the Jewish people are still here, against overwhelming odds.

With the Jewish people currently being threatened with nuclear extinction by the ruler of Iran, it’s a timely reminder.

I hope you enjoy it!

    Love it Aviva! (especially since I am South African:-)) I don’t live there now, my mother does, though and i go to visit from time to time. Rabbi Goldstein has done a lot for South African Jewry!

    Wow, made me cry. So inspirational and true! The Jews and G-d are compared to a Husband and Wife. There are times when things get challenging and tough in our relationships, do we give up? Or do we stand strong and remember our covenant, our ties, for a stronger tomorrow?
