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
