We gotta cross that water...
So Pesach is almost over, and like for all the other Jewish Holidays, there is more to it that munching on matza and gobbling wine...
It's about freedom, and that, again, sounds too generic put it that way.
What does it mean for each one of us?
For myself, this Pesach i decided to free myself from some "mental slaveries": some of these self-imposed, some the fruit of indoctrination and brain washing.
I believe that we have to live Judaism as a natural way of life, not as a self-mutilating set of rituals, and with this i don't mean that i am about to become non observant, not at all. That's, in my opinion, an easy way out.
What i mean is that we have to feel like we are connected to G-d through our own life, and not through some external factors. We have talents, we have gifts that G-d gave us for a reason, and religion is not supposed to suffocate them. We can't "become observant and live a half-life". We have to be busy being born, not dying :)
No hypocrisy, we have to utilize what G-d gave us for the "good side", not become another person.
And this is what i am gonna be busy doing from now on, IYH.
