Happy Easter and Passover to all.
I want to wish everyone a Happy Holiday. I hope you had the opportunity to spend time with family and friends, no matter what your religion.
This may be something that the Jewish community does, but we all could learn from this.
"Each year at the Seder tables, people tell the story of their ancestors’ journey from slavery to freedom. The story illuminates the core narrative of the Jewish people but it also offers thematic resonance with the stories and struggles of other oppressed communities around the globe.
This year, when we relieve the story of our own liberation, we can also think of the millions of people around the world, including women, girls and LGBT people, who are still enslaved to poverty, violence, discrimination, and many other afflictions. We can challenge ourselves to take a more active and more meaningful role in hastening their freedom."
