We have gathered on this festive evening, at this Seder table, to recall, retell, and reenact the early history of our people who, from biblical days onward, were infused with a burning desire to achieve freedom.

We pray, as we sit here assembled in family friendship, and as we relive in words and symbols the ancient quest for liberty, that we shall become infused with renewed spirit and inspiration and understanding. May the problem of all who are downtrodden be our problem; may the concern of all who are afflicted be our concern; may the struggle of all who strive for liberty and equality be our struggle.
