In this meditation for Passover, Rabbi Dorothy Richman explores how the Seder ritual of dipping spring greens in salt water represents our ability to accept both freshness and bitterness, both joy and sorrow. She invites us to notice and embrace the "brutiful" nature of existence, where seeming opposites are actually unified experiences within our bodies. Join her for a short, beautiful teaching and meditation for tasting ancestral tears and hopes, and remembering that we have navigated narrow places before -- and can find our way to openness again.
