This Long, Winding Road

Pesach VII 5781 Sermon. The path from Egypt to the Promised Land might have been quite short, but God diverts the newly freed Israelites to follow a longer, more meandering course. So it is for us today as we make our way out of pandemic – the path is slow and uncertain. As we take steps forward, we must stay connected to each other, allowing ourselves to celebrate and to hold the loss and anguish of the darkness we have lived through.

We Cannot Escape One Another
Jacob tried to flee from his estranged brother. Did he fear more the battle, or the potential reconciliation? What happens when victimhood is built into our self-definition? What do we lose when we stay at the table, and what might we gain? What will it take for us to understand that there is no future until we see one another?

The Mouth of the Well
There is a teaching in Pirkei Avot that says that the mouth of the well was made during the first Shabbat of creation. We have long accepted it to be Miriam’s well, but what if it’s the well from this week’s parsha – the one Jacob encounters after his dream, and where he meets Rachel for the first time? If it’s that well, then maybe we, like Jacob, have to find the well, roll off the stone, and discover what exists underneath.
