It would have been enough

Dan Brumer, a co-founder of Passover Village, offers this reflection:

 Dayenu 

If we had gathered once in Joshua Tree

 

 

If we had created ritual and sacred space

 

 

If we had welcomed diversity with openness

 

 

If we had invited and embraced all the children

 

 

If we had sought to realize our indigenous heritage

 

 

If we had encouraged expressiveness and creativity

 

 

If we had studied the twelve tribes and honored them with flags

 

 

If we had examined our white privilege and colonialism with humility 

 

 

If we had recreated the tabernacle and built the holy of holies 

 

 

If had smudged with frankincense—but wait, there’s myrrh!

 

 

If we had incorporated Council into our community

 

 

If we sat in wonder among all our fellow beings

 under the stars, comets, and fire rainbows

 

It would have been enough

Returning to the Land

After two years of virtual seders, the Passover Village community will return to Joshua Tree National Park for our seder in 2022. 

Additional information will be posted early in 2022.
