Pesach! I love Pesach (once the cleaning is over, that is). The seder is a time for my family to sit and fulfill many mitzvos together. Pesach is a time when we really remember that Hashem is watching over us. I’ve heard that the way to really appreciate and have a meaningful Pesach is putting effort into preparing. This can mean physically–helping clean for Pesach–and spiritually–learning more about the holiday and the story of Pesach. A great rabbi once said that his most meaningful Pesach during which he reached great spiritual heights was the Pesach he had spent much time scrubbing his dorm/apartment in Yerushalayim in preparation.
Below is a link to a great 5 minute video about the legacy that is our seder. The speaker, Charlie Harary, one of my favorite speakers, has other great videos available on his website www.charlieharary.com or www.aish.com. You can find more information about Pesach there as well.

Enjoy!
Since I know I can reach so many other Jewish girls of all ages here, I’d like to make a heartfelt request for your help:
My grandmother has unfortunately fallen ill with pneumonia, and it’s become very serious. She is currently in the hospital in the Intensive Care Unit, and the doctors say she might not make it, C”V. I don’t know any of you personally, so this is a lot to ask, but would you please daven for Rochel bas Raizel? It would mean so much to me. Even if she can’t be well enough immediately to come to our seder this year, I want more than ever for her to get well.
Thank you for your consideration, and may you have a happy and healthy Pesach.
Chag Sameach, everyone! Hope you’re having a great Pesach!
Oh, my, I’m so sorry! Yes, I will definitely daven for her.
I heard somewhere that if one passes away the very moment Shabbos begins, they have a one-way ticket to Gan Eden. My grandmother is dying, and my grief knows no bounds. If Hashem wants to give us a miracle, it’d be a pretty big one. Otherwise, though, it’s becoming way too late.
Thank you for letting the previous comment go through anyway.
So far so good!:)
Baruch Dayan haEmes. Rochel bas Nosson haCohen has passed on.
I miss her so much. So, so much. :'(
Shoshana, I’m so sorry! I’ll still say tehillim for her neshama..it’ll be good for her. I remember when my great-aunt, who was very close to me, passed away :(
How was Pesach, everyone?
Thank you so much, Shterni. I appreciate that so much, and I’m sure she does to. :`)
B”H, Pesach was as peaceful as it could be with everyjting going on.
