A message of reflection from Rabbi Ilana G. Baden
Judaism has always valued “Plan B.” This Friday marks Pesach Sheini: A Second Passover. This day was established by Torah for those who legitimately could not perform the Passover rituals at the appointed time.
I love that our tradition recognizes the fact that as much as we plan, life is unpredictable. It is not only acceptable to pivot and adapt, it is sacred to do so.
We are living in a world that has been turned inside out. Life is not what it has been or should be. Nonetheless, we are reminded by our tradition to take a breath, figure out Plan B, and do our best.
