On this Sunday, three ancient faiths celebrate the sacred stories of contraction into expansion, suffering into liberation, faith in freedom, and renewal of spring. We wish Ramadan Kareem, Happy Easter and Passover to all our families and friends.
What’s this weekend all about? Check out Rabbi Amichai’s short video taken Friday in the Old City of Jerusalem with a holiday blessing.
You can also watch this powerful prayer for these holidays by our dear friend Rev. Derrick McQueen, filmed during our Freedom Feast this past Wednesday.
Rev. Derrick was one of our faith leaders as we gathered in NYC + online for Freedom Feast, our multifaith liberation seder. It was truly liberating.
Check out our highlights on Instagram or our photo album.
We sang, cried and laughed a lot. Together we also raised over $2640 for The Trevor Project and ASPCA, important organizations chosen from your long list of changemakers and liberation creators in the world by our Afikoman Finders. May we all be inspired by their enthusiasm and energy to do good in the world. You can add to the donation and increase our commitment to justice and freedom by donating here.
However you mark these sacred days, may this be a season of connection and hope, progress and healthy growth, for us all.
Love,
The Lab/Shul Team
