In the past, we ended the seder by promising ourselves, “Next year in Jerusalem.” Today, Jerusalem is within our reach, but is not our home. To be Jewish is to have a history of immigration, whether we celebrate Pesach in Israel or in the Diaspora.

Instead, let us end the seder by saying together:

לְשָׁנָה הַבָּאָה בְּחִרוֹת

L’shanah haba’ah b’cheirut!

Next year in freedom!
