TWO FIRSTS in the history of the U. S. Navy took
place this month in Norfolk, Va. The first conference
of Jewish chaplains of the Navy was held at the Nasal
base there, which was also the scene of the dedication
of the first Ark of Covenant in a Navy chapel. Attend-
ing the conference were all Jewish chaplains of the
Navy who are on duty in the United States and repre-
sentatives of the National Jewish Welfare Board.

When we sit down to the fes-
tive board on the Passover Seder
night, the youngest member of
the family will ask the Four
Questions—the basic questions
which are the foundation of the
Haggadah. We might very well
paraphrase the first question and
ask: "Why is this Passover dif-
ferent from all other Passovers?"
Have we not, during the past
decade, exhausted the parallels
between bondage under Pharoah
and oppression and slavery under
Hitler? In fact, during the
tragic ten years of Nazi barbar-
ism, the world has witnessed a
cruelly systematic persecution of
the Jews which, in many respects,
has far exceeded the ordeal which
our people endured in ancient
Egypt.
Since 1933 we have celebrated
our Passovers amid ever-increas-
ing sorrows and ever-decreasing
joys. Today, as we direct our
gaze across the sea, we are ap-
palled by the fact that almost
the whole of the European con-
tinent ft so much akin to Pha-
roah's domain of old. Millions
of Jews have been imprisoned
and enslaved. Millions have
died. As in the Haggadah, which
recounts the story of the hard
labor to which the Jews were
assigned under Pharoah, so to-
day there are many Jews in the
forced labor gangs, building for-
tifications at the point of Nazi

bayonets. Like Pharoah, Hitler is
seeking to break the physical and
spiritual atrength of our people.
Thus, year after year, we have
recited these despairing similari-
ties between what we had hoped
was a forgotten past and the
alarming and challenging present.
But even in the midst of the
most bitter period under Hitler-
ism, the dual message of Pass-
over was not lost. For in the
midst of wholesale destruction
and oppression, hope was being
sustained, liberation was being
accomplished, even if only on a
limited scale. The rebuilding of
Palestine represented the inspir-
ing counterpart of the Exodus
from Egypt.
But why is this Passover dif-
ferent? Have we anything new
to add to the oft-told story of
slavery and deliverance and the
message of hope which Passover
holds out for the entire world?
We believe that this Passover is
different because we hope that
this will be the last Passover
during which our people will be
divided into two camps—those
overwhelmed by suffering and de-
spair and those, like ourselves, in
this free land, enjoying the privi-
leges and the rights of free men
under a democratic form of gov-
ernment. We believe that this
Passover must mark the turning
point in the fate of our people
and in the destiny of the free
world as a whole.
The march of liberation has
already begun. The miracle of
the crossing of the Red Sea may
be re-enacted in the many inva-
sions that may at any moment be
launched by the Allied armies.
That is why this Passover is dif-
ferent. We are approaching the
much dreamed-of and hoped-for
day when all the emphasis of the
message of Passover will fall on
the happy achievement of free-
dom, rather than on the grinding
oppression which preceded it. AO
this is the year of the great
transition.
On this Passover, therefore, we
find ourselves faced with the task
of not only meeting the prob-
lems of oppression and want, but
of answering the challenge of
liberation and restoration. As
we strain for the new horizons
of the post-war era, we must not
neglect the obligations and crises
of the immediate present.
On this Passover we cannot
forget the many hundreds of
thousands who died in the ghettos
and concentration camps of Eu-
rone. We cannot forget the un-
bridled savagery with which a
Nazi regime, made desperate by
a growing realization of defeat,
is seeking to ,erase every trace
of Jewish life. We cannot foreet
the refugees who crossed the
Pyrenees at the risk of their
lives to escape the Nazi occuna-
tion of unoccupied France. We

cannot forget the hundreds of
thousands of Polish Jews in So-
viet Russia who need our help.
We cannot forget the brave Jew-
ish community of Palestine. We
cannot forget the brave sons and
daughters of Palestine who are
fighting so courageously on the
side of the United Nations. We
cannot forget the refugees who
have found a haven in the United
States. We cannot forget the
great responsibilities which we
must meet now in preparation for
the greater responsibilities and
greater opportunities that will
come on the dawn of the day
of victory.
The Haggadah speaks of the
"outstretched hand of God" bring-
ing the children of Israel out
of Egypt into the Promised Land.
Under the modern Pharaoh the
Jews have looked to the "out-
stretched hand" of American
Jewry to sustain their hopes, re-
build their lives and establish
new homes. Throughout the past
decade we have extended the
"outstretched hand" through the
agencies of the United Jewish
Appeal for Refugees, Overseas
Needs and Palestine. In the
midst of the war, in the midst
of the blackest suffering and
tragedy in Europe, we, our
community and hundreds of oth-
ers throughout the country, came
to the aid of our homeless and
oppressed brothers through the
three great rescue agencies which
constitute the United Jewish Ap-
peal—the Joint Distribution Com-
mittee, the United Palestine Ap-
peal and the National Refugee
Service.
It is fitting that we pause on
