Passover: Time to start getting ready!

--

This week is Shabbat Parah, when we read a special maftir reading about purity to remind us that Pesah is coming soon! It is easy to equate “Pesah” with “Panic!” but it’s probably more constructive to think “Prepare!” For some it might be time to start cleaning, but for all of us it’s definitely time to start planning how we are going to celebrate this most central of Jewish holidays, not only the food and the seders but, most importantly, the joy!
