My chocolate pie is one of the oldest recipes I make.
\nIt has always been based on almond flour,
\nas it is a recipe meant for Passover,
\nand I made it every holiday long before I discovered my celiac disease.<\/p>\n

This chocolate pie is one of the bites my family looks forward to every Passover.
\nBut this year, I made it, especially for my two younger brothers, Yuvel and Daniel.
\nI received my brothers as a gift when I was 10.
\nIt was one of the most special gifts I have ever received in my life.
\nOur childhood was wonderful and embracing,
\nin a home that was always full of warmth, love, and comforting good food.<\/p>\n

Last October, they both went to reserve duty,
\nand the turmoil at home was significant.
\nWe were all worried about their safety, and having thoughts about their security and the moments we pictured they would come home were many.<\/p>\n

I found myself turning to the sun and the moon every day,
\nsending them energies of love, healing, and care.
\nI transferred my thoughts to them and mainly reduced the worries in my heart.
\nI knew they and I were looking at the same sun and the same moon while they were deep in Gaza.<\/p>\n

Beyond thinking about the moment they would return safely,
\nthe only way to calm my heart and the worries that raged in it was to imagine.
\nWhen they were in the heart of Gaza, I imagined everything I would prepare for them the moment they returned.
\nAmong all the foods was also my festive chocolate pie for Passover.<\/p>\n

\nThis year, the Passover table will be different in every home in Israel and around the world.
\nThe word “freedom” takes on a different meaning after the difficult events of October 7th.
\nEvery family looks at its family unit with deeper gratitude than usual.
\nThe gathering around the table will be very different, full of thoughts and strength.<\/p>\n

This year, I dedicate my chocolate pie to my sweet brothers,
\nto my family,
\nto the scarred hearts of all of us and all of Israel.
\nAlthough chocolate does not heal such deep pain,
\nit gives great hope.<\/p>\n

The process of making chocolate involves many stages until it becomes delicious and powerful chocolate,
\njust as our hearts’ healing journey is slow,
\nfamily-oriented,
\nfull of compassion,
\nand food that reminds us of home and better days.<\/p>\n

I will end with a prayer and hope that everyone returns soon.
\nHappy and good days to all of Israel.<\/p>\n
