Divrei Tikvah 
From Rabbi Johanna Hershenson

Rabbi Johanna Hershenson

The hatred and war that wreak destruction and instability in Israel and Gaza also amplifies a new expression of antisemitism that is deeply concerning to us all.

Passover 2024: The Three Central Messages of Pesach

Passover 2024: The Three Central Messages of Pesach jemerman

The Exodus story is the master narrative of the Jewish people. As most of us know, it tells the story of the Hebrew slaves in Egypt and the rise of Moses as their liberator. It reminds us that in 2024, the universality of Passover's three-part message again reverberates through the generations: freedom, love, and justice.
