What Lies Ahead. Post-Passover, Israel, Trump and the Upheavals of Our Times

How do we make sense of the turbulence and upheavals shaking our world today? Just glance at the stock market — a mirror of our times, swinging wildly with volatility, reflecting trade wars, tariffs, and global conflicts from Gaza to Ukraine. President Trump, in many ways, personifies this era of disruption.

But disruption is not inherently negative. The question is: how do we understand it?

Because one thing is certain — unpredictability unnerves us. Human beings crave stability. And yet, here we are, waking up each morning to an uncertain reality, bombarded by events we could never have anticipated.

Still, everything has a deeper story.

Please join Rabbi Simon Jacobson as we explore, through the prism of Passover, the deeper meaning behind today’s turmoils — the unrest in Israel, Trump, and the larger currents reshaping our lives. What lies beneath the chaos? And what does it ask of us?
