This Shabbat we bless the month of Nisan - may it see the revival of the spirit of our people Israel

 

and a renewal of all the Goodness the world has ever seen - rolled up into a Blessing of Passover!

 

The Hebrew word for month is CHODESH from the root CHADASH meaning new.

 

Passover can mean "passing over" but you can look at the word to

 

PASS ON INTO A NEW OUTLOOK - on LIFE on PEOPLE -

 

as we can every day learn new things even from old friends and what looked yesterday 

like "the same old thing" really is NOT - but may be seen in a whole NEW LIGHT

 

May we bless each other as we bless the month - and all the gifts we have from the Almighty

 

Shabbat Shalom from Lakewood NJ
