Rabbi Marc’s A Dash of Drash – Sensuality of Spring -Episode 93

Rabbi Marc Soloway April 25, 2019 Jewish Life Comments Off on Rabbi Marc’s A Dash of Drash – Sensuality of Spring -Episode 93

Sensuality of Spring is episode 93 of A Dash of Drash.

As well as the Season of Freedom, Passover is also known as the Festival of Spring (chag haAviv). Spring is exploding with sensuality as the birds sing and the blossoms bloom and new life emerges, bursting out, and all of this is reflected in the liturgical themes of Pesach, through a special blessing for the blossom and Song of Songs. As nature renews itself in this confluence of Pesach, Easter and Earth Day, it somehow invites us to renew our hope.
