Nirtzah - Hope for the Future
NIRTZAH - Closing Meditation
At the end of the seder, we sing "Next Year in Jerusalem".
We sometimes think of this as a literal wish, though far fewer of us have actually found ourselves in Jerusalem for seder the following year.
But Jerusalem is more than a place, it is a feeling, it is a hope.
We take a moment to meditate on hope - on our hope - on what our Jerusalem may look like next year.
What is your own personal Jerusalem where you hope to see yourself a year from now?
Next year, what will I be able to say about the year past - how will I have lived it?
