As if our suffering in Egypt were not enough, at the Seder we proclaim: "In every generation, they rise up to wipe us out." 

Ugh. Really? In every generation?? 

There is no smooth and easy road for the Jewish People. 

In the last decade alone, we have endured war, terrorism, anti-Semitism, and condemnations from international organizations. According to the Haggada, these hardships and disasters will never end. We are bonded with adversity.

Yet, it also promises that God will rescue us from the forces of destruction. The Jewish People will survive. Our entire history demonstrates that deliverance comes just when we think all is lost. 

Activity for Seder: 

Did you experience any moment in the past year when you felt the Hand of God helping you overcome a personal trial?
