As we’ve approached this Passover full moon, I’ve felt a surging energy that is difficult to describe. Normally, I feel exhilerated as Pesach approaches. I love this holiday. I love preparing for it. I love the inconvenience of avoid chametz all week. This year I feel like I’m standing at the front of a surging crowd, and being pressed against a door that opens in.
All around me I see people surging forward. I’m wondering if it’s like this every year and I just havent noticed. Why is this year different. Why does it seem like the whole world is waiting for the chance to burst forth and change to something different.
Tomorrow I’ll embark on the ritual cleaning of my house. I don’t remove all the physical chametz from my house, but I do take the opportunity to scrub my house from top to bottom and remove the dirt, grime, and spiritual chametz. I hope this washes away the feeling, or at least moves it to something exciting instead of oppressive.
