William Ellery Channing wrote: “The great religious instruction is to not stamp our minds upon the young, but to stir up their own. To have them look steadily and inquiringly with their own eyes, not to make them see with our eyes.”
As we continue to explore this month’s theme of service, we have an opportunity to reflect on how best to serve our children here in our community.
This week families are celebrating the Jewish festival of Pesach. They gather around tables and share through readings, foods, songs, and other traditions, ways to embody the story of Jews escaping enslavement and heading to a better land. Several times the remembrance turns to the questions and perspective of children. How wonderful to have a ritual that touches all the senses in so many ways.
Let’s explore ways that we can see through the eyes of the young, so that we might, as Channing said ” … awaken the soul, then excite and cherish spiritual life.”
