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.
