Message from Rav Claudia from Haverim and Haverot,

I wanted to send a note and wish you all a sweet and meaningful Pesach with your loved ones.

We are doing wonderfully in Israel, enjoying our me with our families and friends! Very grateful to have this special me where we have been able to slow down and enjoy. We have done some traveling in the country and we are planning to do some more (during we are going camping to the Arava). I am doing some learning, which has been both meaningful and fun. Mainly, I have had time to myself, my girls and Ebn which feels very precious.

In this holiday of liberaon, as I feel so deeply the privilege of being in this sabbacal, what I wish for all of us is the capacity to find me to breathe. To be present with our loved ones. To be present in the world in ways that help us get closer to freedom. To be present and find the strength to connue the work of making this world a better place, a place where freedom is reachable for all.

I look forward to connecting with you in June.

Blessings from me and my family, Pesach Sameach
