Matzah of hope

(Lift a special Matzah and set it aside.)

This matzah is set aside as a symbol of hope for those Jews throughout the world who are not free.  We used to use a dove, but it kept crapping all over everything. 

This matzah is for the Jews who are not free to celebrate the Seder.  They are not free to express their Jewish identity.  Some of them have never even seen Annie Hall.  They are not free to read Jewish books, to learn of their Jewish past, or to eat Chinese food on Christmas.  

Their voices have risen in pride and protest, which is ironic since yeast is forbidden during Passover.  

Tonight we add our voices to theirs.  On their behalf, we buy extra copies of this Haggadah.
