Shabbat

Yes - Yizkor AND crossing the Red Sea- ending Pesach

Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach used to say  over a Hassidic story

 
About a Rebbe who came to the next world and went in search of his good friend -
(the allegory is we are ALWAYS searching for a GOOD FRIEND)
 
Tonight and tomorrow is the anniversary of the Israélite's crossing the Red Sea
 
(been there  and crossed that - but not 
the same way)
 
So too tomorrow is the day of saying Yizkor- do not forget!
 
When the Hassidic Rebbe found his holy friend by the sea 
 
 his friend said
 
"this is the sea 
made of all the tears of Israel
and I pray for an end to the tears"
 
So remember to say Yizkor
ANd remember we
ALL have seas to cross
and there are sometimes tears at each 
crossing - and wecan help each other end the tears
 
In the end the Almighty gets us ALL
to the Holy Land
 
A place and time to sing Halel songs and celebrate
 
Happy Pesach and Gutt Shabbos
