On Passover, we revel in our freedom- gathering around the Seder table with our loved ones, telling stories of the ancient Israelites' miraculous journey from slavery to redemption. At this time of rejoicing, we also remember the great responsibility that freedom creates: to speak out for people who are still oppressed around the world today.

As we recite the blessing over the wine, which is symbolic of our freedom, let us pray for and work toward the moment when all human beings will celebrate their liberation, experience equality and live secure, peaceful lives.
