Memento Mori and True Human Empathy at the Seder

Length: 4 minutes 10 seconds
Synopsis: This is the audio version of the 1-page article I wrote on 4/5/23, entitled: Memento Mori and True Human Empathy at the Seder. One of the most underappreciated themes of Pesach - and one of the most universal ones - is subtly reflected in two minhagim, both of which involve reflections on mortality and what it means to live.
