On Shabbat Hagadol, the Great Shabbat before Pesach, we zoom out to see the bigger picture of Jewish history and redemption.

The four cups at the Seder reflect stages of the Exodus—but there’s a fifth cup too.

It symbolizes the coming of the Mashiach and our ultimate redemption.

Pesach isn’t just about the past—it’s about where we’re going.

Jewish history isn’t complete without Eretz Yisrael and the Geulah.

This year, let’s not forget the bigger picture.

On Seder night, while halakhah gives us the structure, it’s our minhagim—our customs—that bring it to life. Each family becomes a storyteller, adding their unique voice to the larger Jewish journey.

In this clip, I share a small but special family tradition: lifting my pinky during Kiddush. It may seem simple, but it’s deeply symbolic and woven into our mesorah.

You can choose to be Bechar- chosen, or Barach-to flee.

Hashem chose us to receive the Torah and bring light to the world.

Each of us has a unique mission in this story — one that began in Egypt and continues today.

In every generation, we are called to see ourselves as if we left Egypt. This isn’t just a memory. It’s a calling.

Join the Jewish story. Step into your role. And find the light along the way.
