A Message From Cantor Porat

In these tumultuous and ever-changing times, Passover serves as a powerful reminder of the search for liberation that resides within each of us. Despite the challenges we face, we’re encouraged to embrace resilience and find strength in the knowledge that our spirit of freedom cannot be diminished or contained.
 
The song Liberation, written by Cantor Rebekah Mirsky and I, was inspired by the enduring instruction of Passover to recognize our release from the bonds of slavery in Egypt with each passing generation. 
 
As you listen, consider contemplating the freedoms you hold dear and if you’re so moved, please share your reflections and stories with me via email. We will share some of your reflections during our second night family seder.
 
May it be a liberating and meaningful Passover season to all of us,
 
Cantor Juval Porat
