What is the message of Passover in 2026?

B"H

What is the message of Pesach in 2026? Freedom isn’t just doing whatever you want. That’s the beginning, what Rabbi Sacks zt’l called freedom from coercion.

Real freedom is deeper. It’s knowing what to do when no one is forcing you, how to use that space to serve Hashem.

I see this in my work, and I feel it with Israel. We’re fighting for freedom from war, from people trying to destroy us. But Pesach is pushing us further, to ask who we are beyond the war.

Cheirut, freedom, is tied to charut, engraved on the luchot. Real freedom is becoming a people who can fully live, serve Hashem, and express our neshama in a world of shalom.

We should merit safety, and then the freedom to become who we’re meant to be. Chag Sameach!
