AS WE BEGIN TONIGHT’S SEDER, let’s take a moment to be thankful for being together, and we keep in our hearts those who could not be here, because of geography or the passage of time. We make a small community of storytellers. But, why this story again? Most of us already know the story of Passover. We saw the movie. The answer is that we are not merely telling a story. We are being called to the act of empathy. Not only to hear the story of the Exodus but to feel as if we too were being set free. Some at our table observe this holiday every year and some are experiencing it for the first time. Some of us are Jewish, others are not. Passover is the most widely celebrated Jewish Holiday and is enjoyed by people of various faiths. Freedom is at the core of each of our stories. All who are in need, let them come celebrate Passover with us. Now we are here. Next year in the land of Israel.
