Right after I posted that last piece, the word “Haggadah” popped in my head. I didn’t know what it was, so I looked it up.
It is a Passover ritual in which, in effect, the history and identity of the Jews is conveyed across generations.
Is ritual not in some respects a way of predicting the future? Does it not bring order from chaos?
I never get tired of watching the enormously interesting parades put on in front of me each and every day. There is so much color and beauty in this world. I hope we can keep it.
