Rabbi Berowitz says this holiday is also a time to celebrate 'growth, development, breaking out of boundaries, doing new things, becoming a better person than I was yesterday.'
WALNUT CREEK, Calif. -- On Friday night, millions will gather around the world to celebrate Passover - the festival commemorating the freeing of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt.
Here in the Bay Area, Rabbi Dovber Berokwitz says preparations have been underway at the Chabad of Contra Costa all week.The last few years, people relied on made-to-go Passover boxes with a traditional meal inside.But observing Passover isn't just about honoring religious traditions. It's also a way to preserve Jewish culture.
"Really the story of Passover is not just a story for very religious people. It really symbolizes freedom," said Rabbi Berkowitz. The rabbi says the holiday is also about breaking down barriers - Not just physical ones, like in the original story, but also emotional and spiritual. "Which is really what life is all about. Growth, development, breaking out of boundaries, doing new things, becoming a better person than I was yesterday," Rabbi Berowitz said.
