Jews around the world spend the night before Passover searching their homes for any chametz, such as bread and other items that are not kosher for Passover, a process called "bedikat chametz." As you prepare to search in your homes, let’s take a moment to meditate on the chametz in our souls we will be releasing tomorrow when we burn the physical chametz to experience the personal redemption of Passover.

The freedom we celebrate on Passover was never only freedom from slavery. The Hebrew word for Egypt, Mitzrayim, is related to the word tzar, meaning "narrow" or "constrained". When we relive our liberation from Mitzrayim, we recall our escape from the place that confined us and our ways of thinking. Mental illness can similarly trap us in the narrowness of our own personal Egypts. We are called to see ourselves as if we had left Egypt and to break free from these confines to experience true freedom on Passover.

The freedom we celebrate on Passover was never meant to signify only freedom from slavery. The Hebrew word for Egypt, Mitzrayim, is related to the word tzar, meaning narrow or constrained. When we relive our liberation from Mitzrayim, we are recalling our escape from the people, circumstances, and ways of thinking that confine us. Mental illness can similarly trap us in the narrowness of our own personal Egypts. Our resources are designed to help people break free from these confines and experience true freedom this Passover.

Wishing everyone a Purim of joy, wellness, and community!

03/02/2026

In our latest article, Maximillian Hollander explains how Purim is a holiday of joy, celebration and feasting, but an essential element of Purim is giving, particularly to those in need. Mordechai established matanot le’evyonim — gifts to the needy — as a central commandment of the day.

Jewish tradition and modern research alike show that generosity increases happiness and life satisfaction and activates “the happiness trifecta” of dopamine, serotonin and oxytocin. Engaging in giving transforms personal joy into shared joy, making Purim a celebration that uplifts both the giver and the community.

Today is the Fast of Esther, marking the commemoration of the fast she requested the people undertake before approaching the king to plead for her people. It is a day of unity against the things that seek to harm us. However, for some people, the day itself is a source of harm.

Be Inclusive of Community Members struggling with Disordered Eating on Fast Days. Focus on the day as a day of connection, prayer, and community, not just an "easy fast."
