Passover: A celebration of human interdependence

The festival of Passover, which the Jewish people observe this year at the beginning of April, is the cornerstone of Jewish identity. The defining message of Passover is enduring: we, too, were strangers in pharaonic Egypt, 3,300 years ago. For the Jewish people, this is not merely a historical recollection, it is a moral imperative. Because we know the experience of subjugation and oppression, we are commanded to stand with those who are vulnerable and persecuted and to work toward the dignity and freedom of all people. This ethic has shaped Jewish life for generations.
