Passover is a holiday with a strong focus on children. The Torah charges us to “tell your children (Exodus 13:8)” of the great miracles of the Exodus. So much of what we do on Seder night is “so that the children will ask.” But what about those who have not yet been blessed with children?
And even as we face Passover in quarantine and physically socially distanced, let us not forget the 1 in 8 men and women throughout the Jewish community who are still facing the challenge of infertility this holiday. On Thursday Night, March 26, 2020 we asked EVERYONE to partner with Yesh Tikva to HOLD SPACE by joining our one hour live event from the comfort of their homes. The goal of this event was to increase sensitivity toward all who have not yet been blessed with children or struggle to expand their families.
This Passover let us all HOLD SPACE for family and friends and ensure that everyone feels loved, accepted and important.
