Why do we make a blessing on maror? Are we thankful for the bitterness? Ultimately, yes. We recognize in this blessing that that everything is ultimately for the best, that everything – even the bitter – is actually good, even if we don’t always see it as such at the time. Our greatest growth is from those places and situations in which we struggle.
