It's the story of our people.
It's the story of every soul that has
ever felt trapped and still chose to
sing.
That has ever felt broken and still
chose to believe.
Right? Every soul that's ever been held
in darkness and still reached for light.
That's Pesach.
Not the absence of darkness, but the
revelation of light from within it.
And maybe that's the deepest message of
everything we've spoken about tonight.
Our soldiers standing on the front
lines, families running to shelters,
families burying their loved ones.
You know what? At the very same time,
songs being written and hearts are
awakening and people are returning. It's
all one story. It's the story of a
people that refuses to be defined by
what happens to them and instead chooses
to be defined by their relationship with
Hashem.
A people that can they can be bent
but never broken.
We're a nation that can definitely be
shaken but never uprooted. We can be
wounded
but somehow we're always still trying to
heal others.
And that's why this Shabbat is called
the Shabbat Hagadol.
Not because everything is great, but
because something great is happening
beneath the surface. There's a shift and
a movement and a quiet unfolding of
redemption that is playing out. And my
friends, you're all a part of it.
Every every prayer, every act of
kindness, every moment of emunah,
of faith when things don't make sense,
every time you choose connection
over despair, it matters and it's seen
and it's written. Just like the prophet
Malachi said.
So as we enter Pesach, when you sit at
your Seder table, if you have one,
with your family, with your friends,
wherever you are,
if you even if you don't have a Seder
table, you could just hold that matzah
in your hand and I want you to remember,
this is not just the bread of
affliction. This is also really a bread
of of transformation.
The bread of those who are willing to
leave behind not only their chains but
the identities those chains created. The
bread of of those who stepped into the
unknown and discovered that Hashem was
already there waiting for them.
And maybe this year more than ever that
is our avodah, that is our service.
Right? To let go of the identities that
no longer serve us, to release the fear
that keeps us small, and to trust that
even that when we we don't know who
we're becoming, Hashem does. And he is
leading us b'dyuk exactly to where we
need to go.
So wherever you are right now,
whether you're feeling strong or fragile
or clear or confused, caring others or
needing to be carried,
know this, you're not alone.
You are part of the unfolding of
redemption, you're part of this
fellowship, you're part of our family,
and you're part of a story that began
thousands of years ago and is unfolding
right now in you.
My name is Ari and I live here on the
edge of the Judean frontier. And just as
the prophets foretold, the mountains of
Judah are coming to life. The
ingathering of the exile is taking place
right before our eyes.
And the final prophecy is manifesting as
the righteous of the nations are coming
together with humble hearts here in the
land of Israel fellowship. And now I'm
inviting you to join us along with
hundreds of Jewish and Christian
families from all around the world to
experience the beauty and the holiness
and the magnificence of our fellowship.
So click below so you can taste the
beauty and the holiness that is
happening on this mountain.
