Pesach, Humility, and Strength in a Time of Rising Antisemitism withValuable Lessons for Modern Times

A Message From Rabbi Aníbal Mass, Spiritual Leader

Pesach is not just a festival of the past—it is a living experience, a call to action, and a reminder of who we are as a people. Every year, as we gather around the Seder table, we retell the story of our journey from slavery to freedom. But the Exodus narrative is more than just ancient history. It is a blueprint for how we, as Jews, navigate the challenges of our own time.

This year, as Antisemitism and Jewhatred rise in shocking (or maybe in not so shocking) ways around the world, the lessons of Pesach feel more urgent than ever. The contrast between matzah and chametz, between humility and ego, takes on new meaning in a time when our people are once again being scapegoated, attacked, and forced to defend our very right to exist. How do we respond? How do we balance the call for humility with the necessity of standing up against hate?

Matzah, the simple unleavened bread, represents humility, sincerity, and reliance on something greater than ourselves. It reminds us that freedom is not about arrogance or self-glorification, but about a deep, unshakable faith in our purpose as a people.

The Torah calls matzah lechem oni, the “bread of affliction” (Deuteronomy 16:3), because it was the food of the enslaved Israelites in Egypt. But the Zohar (2:41a and 2:183b) states that matzah is both the “bread of faith” as well as the “bread of healing,” because it was the food of redemption—the first meal the Jewish people ate as free individuals. This duality teaches us something critical: humility is not weakness. It is a source of strength.

To be Jewish is to know that our power does not come from being arrogant, but from being committed. Our survival has never depended on having the biggest armies, the greatest wealth, or the most political influence. Instead, it has come from our ability to stay true to who we are, to remain humble before God and unwavering in our mission. In a world that often tries to erase or vilify us, the message of matzah is clear: hold fast to your identity, stay strong in your faith, and trust that strength does not come from arrogance but from purpose.

If matzah represents humility, chametz— leavened bread—symbolizes arrogance and self-importance. It is puffed up, filled

A Message From the President Fanny Levy

As the gentle breezes of spring usher in a season of renewal and growth, our Congregation stands at a pivotal moment in its history.

This year’s Chag Ha-Aviv, the Festival of Spring (Pesach), holds even deeper significance for our community as we celebrate not only the earth’s rejuvenation, but also the return to our beautifully renovated spiritual home.

Spring is a time when nature awakens, bringing vibrant colors to trees and flowers, filling the world with excitement and joy. Just as the earth renews itself each season, our congregation, too, is embracing a season of growth and spiritual rejuvenation. The return to our synagogue marked a monumental milestone in our history—a vision realized through years of planning, hard work, and community dedication. This renewed space reflects our core values and aspirations, providing a vibrant, inclusive environment where every member can connect, learn, and grow.

As we step into this exciting new chapter, we reflect on the themes of rebirth and renewal central to Chag Ha-Aviv. This spring, as we gather, we honor the legacy of our past while eagerly embracing the promise of the future.

Big Plans for the Future

While our newly renovated space is a

significant achievement, it is only the beginning of a thrilling journey ahead. At Congregation Shaarey Zedek, we are committed to a future of growth, spirituality, innovation, and community engagement.

We are excited to announce the development of our Strategic Plan, which will serve as the roadmap for our community’s vision in the years to come. The launch of this plan later this year will guide us in shaping the next phase of our growth and ensure we continue to thrive.

Our children are the future of our community, and we’re dedicated to providing them with enriching experiences that foster a deep connection to Jewish tradition. From our brand-new Tova Vickar and Family Childcare Centre to our Youth Choir, to family-friendly events, we’re laying the foundation for the next generation to embrace Judaism with joy and purpose.

As we continue to grow and evolve, we are also in the process of recruiting a new rabbi to join our clergy team. This new leader will play a central role in guiding our community spiritually, fostering a deep connection to our traditions, and helping us navigate the challenges of the modern world. We are excited about finding someone who can bring fresh insights, inspire us with meaningful teachings, and strengthen our sense of unity and purpose. We look forward to engaging the congregation in this process.

Building a Stronger Congregation: Reflections on My Tenure as President

A Message From Neil Duboff, Past President and Capital Campaign Chair

As I reflect on my time as President of Shaarey Zedek, one central theme stands out: the power of communication and engagement. A synagogue is much more than a place of worship—it is the heart of our community, where we come together for prayer, learning, and connection. Throughout my tenure, the board and I were committed to ensuring that every member felt heard, valued, and included. This focus on engagement helped us navigate challenges, embrace renewal, and strengthen our congregation for future generations.

Strengthening Connections

Your board knew that deepening the relationship between synagogue leadership and our members was essential. Open and transparent communication became our guiding principle, allowing us to better understand and serve our congregation’s needs. To foster dialogue, we initiated meetings, where congregants could share their thoughts, ideas, and concerns. We also prioritized regular updates on synagogue activities, financial matters, and the renovation project, reinforcing our commitment to transparency and trust. But engagement isn’t just about meetings

and emails—it’s about personal connection. Our clergy, board members, staff and volunteers worked to create a warm and welcoming environment. By actively reaching out to members, listening to their stories, and ensuring they felt part of our synagogue family, we strengthened the bonds that hold our community together.

Navigating the Impact of COVID-19

The Synagogue also has faced one of the greatest challenges in our synagogue’s history: the COVID-19 pandemic. The impact was profound, forcing us to rethink how we connect as a community. Our sanctuary, usually filled with the warmth of in-person gatherings, fell silent as we adapted to virtual services and events. However, rather than allowing distance to weaken our sense of community, we found new ways to come together.

We embraced technology that kept our congregation engaged. The resilience of our community was truly inspiring—through acts of kindness, generosity, and support, we weathered the storm together.

As we emerged from the pandemic, the importance of in-person engagement became even more apparent. The longing

A Message From Dr Rena Secter Elbaze

Executive Director

Never in the past 80 years has the phrase “Let my people go!” touched our community so deeply as we rally for the release of our hostages and an end to the oppressive regimes that threaten not only Jewish communities worldwide but also Western democracies and the freedom that they stand for.

At Chanukah, at Purim and at Passover, we remember that “In every generation they set upon us to destroy us, but the Holy One, blessed be he, saves us from among them”…we have seen it in our modern times… and we are asked not to forget.

Not to forget, to remember… what exactly does that mean? Why do we remember? Firstly, the obvious response would be for self-preservation and to be aware of potential danger.

Secondly, one could turn to the fact that remembering that we managed to survive could set a precedent and reassure us that we can make it through this time too.

We remember the Exodus from Egypt every Friday night when we recite the Kiddush, the blessing over the wine. At the very moment when we celebrate the creation of the World, we also remember our emergence as a free people, an actual nation. We are reminded that G-d chose to protect and liberate us, and we remember this each and every week, that we are not alone.

Most Importantly, remembering is not enough on its own. It should lead to action! We remember Amalek, and what that ancient people and many nations after them, did to us, not for the purpose of stirring up hatred, but so that we take care not to leave the vulnerable among us behind where they can fall prey to poverty and abuse. We remember to stick together, and we remember that when G-d chose us at Mount Sinai, we were given a legal and ethical code that would guide us and preserve us through the centuries. That is the true essence of what we should be remembering. It’s true that we can’t help but remember the persecution but the most important thing that we must never lose sight of is that we have something very meaningful that not only keeps us alive, but allows us to thrive.

It's a moral code of human rights and responsibilities to each other and to the World that we were given to steward and care for.

As we prepare to celebrate Passover this year, we should remember our birth as a free nation, and we should fight to preserve the values that our people have represented since the dawn of time.

Now is your time to take action! We invite you to connect, now that we have returned to our spiritual home, we invite you to get engaged and involved.

The Bitter and the Sweet A Message From Cantor Leslie Emery

The act of remembrance is a central aspect of Jewish tradition. Our history extends thousands of years through time and our holiday cycle is inextricably linked through it’s rhythm. Our story is one of survival and continuation, a conversation with G-d that extends through the ages and evolves through time. As a people without a country for almost 2000 years, it seems miraculous that we remembered where we came from and continued to not only survive, but thrive in so many different times and places throughout history.

Torah is at the heart of this journey. Linking us through time and space as we became a people without a nation of our own. Imagine what it must have felt like to finally see Israel re - established as a country and homeland of the Jewish people. To once again see Jewish people return to Jerusalem. The shifting tides of the past century and the adaptability of our people never cease to amaze me.

In a brief three week window on the Jewish calendar we observe Pesach, Yom Hashoah, Yom Hazikaron and Yom Ha’atzmaut. Throughout that three week period of time, the reality of the bitter and the sweet collide. There is such pain and complexity in the Jewish experience. There is both great hardship and great joy. The bitter herbs of the maror paired with the sweet charoset is

the Pesach Seder’s nod to this difficult reality of the human experience. A full life is not all sunshine and rainbows. It is also learning how to weather the storms and make your way to a brighter day.

Since October 7th 2023 we have faced the unthinkable. Our hearts ache. Our souls cry out asking why. Following Pesach we approach our annual Yom Hashoah Commemoration here at Shaarey Zedek, our hearts breaking as the cycle of hatred reveals itself once more in our generation. We are left with the obligation to remember those who are no longer with us and shine light into the darkness. Together with our friends and allies we will strengthen one another. So much was erased and so much was destroyed, however we are here to remember and preserve what has been left behind.

Yom Hazikaron and Yom Ha’atzmaut add to the complexity of the season, the bitter and the sweet side by side. A day of mourning those lives cut short fighting throughout Israel’s history and lives lost in terror attacks. There is much to mourn and much that is worthy of our attention. The very next day on the Jewish Calendar we celebrate Yom Ha’atzmaut, the fulfilment of the dream of generations. A Jewish homeland in the land our history, holiday cycle and ritual seasons are tied to. It seems so difficult to hold two such different emotions side by side and yet

Emphasize Joy A Message From Tali Millo, Program

Director and Lay Clergy

There is a teaching in the Talmud that states that if a wedding procession and a funeral procession were to meet at an intersection, the wedding procession is to go first. This puts an emphasis on celebrating joy and new beginnings, even when faced with grief. This teaching is more prevalent than ever, since our lives dramatically changed in the early hours of October 7th, 2023.

The last year and a half have been some of the most difficult days that I have experienced as a Jewish person. Yet, these difficult times have shown the strength of our community – in Winnipeg and beyond. Despite the pain and heartache that we have experienced, this past year has been filled with so many exciting moments –moving back into our beautiful synagogue and celebrating at our Chanukat HaBayit rededication ceremony, an impactful gala weekend with Rabbi David Wolpe, the return of exciting programming, and more!

As we plan each and every event, we always have in our hearts the hostages that remain in Gaza, those that were murdered in captivity, and all of the previous lives that were lost on that dark day in October of 2023. However, the teaching mentioned earlier is a reminder that even when the world feels dark and heavy, it is important for us to celebrate the joys in life and the new beginnings that we are so fortunate to experience.

Fall was a whirlwind of exciting events! We finally returned to our newly renovated spiritual home and celebrated this monumental moment with our Chanukat HaBayit rededication ceremony. It was so uplifting to welcome our congregants and our community back into our beautiful space! Very soon after, we celebrated the High Holy Days and our hearts were filled by the sight of a full Sanctuary, Chapel and Auditorium, with a vibrant family service taking place downstairs. We celebrated Sukkot at the shul with our Sukkah set up outside, and a joyous event for young families at A Maze In Corn. Simchat Torah capped off the holidays with an incredible night filled with song, dance, and Torah! Weekly programming such as the Social Club and Dor Chadash continued as we transitioned back into the building. We were able to host sessions of the Social Club at the shul featuring engaging teaching sessions with Rabbi Mass. Dor Chadash stole the show on many occasions with their amazing and endearing performances. If you missed them at events such as Tu B’Shevat or Purim, check them out on our YouTube channel! After a long hiatus, Playgroup with Cantor Leslie returned this winter! Every Wednesday, little ones can enjoy free play, circle time, sing-a-longs, crafts, socialization, and more.

February was the first of a new and exciting

A Message From Tamar Barr, Director of Engagement and Education

I am thrilled to write this first message in the Shofar Magazine in my role as Director of Engagment and Education at Congregation Shaarey Zedek. Although I am just shy of my two-year anniversary at CSZ, I am deeply appreciative of the opportunity to get to know the members, congregants, volunteers, and friends of our synagogue. At CSZ we aim to be like our forebearer Abraham, whose tent was open on all four sides; making his home welcoming to family and strangers alike. At CSZ, we are working towards matching Abraham’s values of hospitality and openness.

Today the synagogue community needs to balance Abraham's principles of welcoming and kindness when focusing on the needs of both potential and current members. While being warm and welcoming is part of our genetic composition, what does belonging look like?

Belonging is to know and understand that every one of CSZ’s congregants is a vital part of our synagogue tapestry, essential to sustaining a strong Jewish future for Congregation Shaarey Zedek. Wherever you are on your journey,—families with young children, adults, persons living with a disability, youth, interfaith and multi-faith families, young adults, LGBTQ+ persons, older adults, and newcomers, we will meet you where you are. Each addition to our CSZ family increases the vibrancy and diversity of our congregation.

Belonging also signifies having a place or space to create meaningful and relevant connections and experiences through Jewish living, learning and worship. Irrespective of where your interests, and abilities are found, we have a myriad of engagement opportunities for you to connect with at CSZ.

Volunteers are at the heart and soul of our shul. Much of what happens at CSZ is due to our dedicated and enthusiastic volunteers. If you have service-leading or Torah/Haftarah reading skills, we would be pleased to hear from you. We always will welcome volunteer Shabbat Greeters whose role is to greet congregants and guests and enhance the worship experience for members and visitors alike. Furthermore, we are seeing more occasions when there is no extended family, or when there are no Jewish family members who are able to serve as pallbearers. If you can volunteer, please let us know.

CSZ members can engage with synagogue life by volunteering with other roles such as the newly-formed Tech Chavurah, Kiddush Luncheon Helpers (ensuring no one is eating alone and to provide a hand to those in need) and Special Event Volunteers (Holidays, Concerts etc.). Watch for information on our future Mitzvah Society; supporting people who are unwell, in need of support or going through a life transition. Volunteers will help with caring phone calls, visits to homes or hospitals or deliveries of soup (for example) for someone going through a life transition or tough time.
