Tasting Bitterness: A Pre-Pesach Meditation on Matzah and Maror
from Closer Than You Think · host Max Gilbert
What if the hardest thing about Passover isn't the cleaning or the dietary restrictions, but the radical idea that you didn't earn any of it? In this week's essay, I explore how Dayenu, the song everyone sings but nobody thinks about, is actually a meditation on enoughness and the art of receiving. I walk through specific intentions for the matzah and maror at your seder this year, and why actually eating them, fully, in the way they're meant to be eaten, might be the most countercultural thing you do all spring.
