Out of Egypt Found In: Mourning & Bereavement, Torah Portion:
Parashah, Passover Shared by Tamar Stern | Poem "G-d will surely
remember you, and then you must carry up my bones out of here
with you" (Exodus 13:19) Now it is time to depart from the Egypt
of daily life into a moment of question and promise; We bring
you with us to the seder table the way Moses hoisted up Joseph's
bones and carried them to the promised land. We carry you now,
in memories, on our journey as we buy gefilte fish and change
the dishes as we set the tablecloth and we warm up the chicken
soup as we wonder if there is enough food and not to forget the
boiled eggs. We carry you now who carried us, when we were
little, with your arms who supported us with love, we carry you
now as you become the story we will retell the way we carry the
Torah... the way the Torah lifts us.
