I made it home for the seder last week. Typically, we end the service with "next year in Jerusalem," but in recent years this has morphed into "next year in peace." One of our guests responded with a "fat chance" to the closure this year. At first, I (and some of the others at my side of the table) were a bit taken aback. But then, I thought about it a bit. Basically, since neither plan calls for withdrawing from Iraq before July of '08, in fact, we are absolutely guaranteed not to have peace next Passover. That's a pretty depressing thought. So maybe we need to adjust how we close our service. Or maybe we need to adjust our foreign policy. Or maybe a bit of both.
