הבטחת פסח

Pesach Promise

פרק ראשון | Chapter One

The seder was awkward. His ex-wife. Her new boyfriend. Their children.

"?מה נשתנה הלילה הזה?" "Why is this night different?"

"כי אתה כאן," she said. "Because you're here."

פרק שני | Chapter Two

Dan watched them together. Happy.

"?אתה בסדר?" asked his son. "Are you okay?"

"אני משתדל." "I'm trying."

"?זה קשה לך?" "Is this hard for you?"

"כן. אבל זה חשוב." "Yes. But it's important."

פרק שלישי | Chapter Three

The new boyfriend approached. "תודה שבאת." "Thank you for coming."

"הילדים רצו." "The kids wanted it."

"?ואתה?" "And you?"

"אני רציתי לראות שהם מאושרים." "I wanted to see them happy."

פרק רביעי | Chapter Four

"מצאתי אחר," she told him privately. "I found someone else."

"אני רואה." "I see."

"?אתה שמח בשבילי?" "Are you happy for me?"

"אני מנסה להיות." "I'm trying to be."

"זה הדבר הכי יפה שאמרת לי אי פעם." "That's the most beautiful thing you've ever said to me."

פרק חמישי | Chapter Five

The seder ended. He drove home.

"?למדת משהו הלילה?" "Did you learn something tonight?"

He asked himself in the mirror.

"שחופש זה לא רק לצאת ממצרים. זה לצאת מהעבר." "That freedom isn't just leaving Egypt. It's leaving the past."

הסוף | The End

בפסח, עם ישראל יצא לחופשי. ולפעמים, החירות האמיתית היא לשחרר את מה שהיה—ולהתקדם.

On Pesach, the people of Israel went free. And sometimes, true freedom is releasing what was—and moving forward.
