May the Passover idea of
Freedom find root wherever
men struggle to end slavery
May this day, commemorating the great Passover
tradition for Freedom, out of which has grown
humanity's craving for Liberty and Justice, let
us re-dedicate ourselves to the causes which make
Freedom possible. Let all of us, together, strive for
a successful Allied Jewish Campaign—so that the
hungry may be fed, the naked clothed, the op-
pressed freed, the homeless assured permanent
havens.
A Happy Passover To All

In every generation, one ought to regard himself as
though he had personally come out of Egypt. As it is
said: "And thou shalt tell thy son on that day, saying:
This is on account of what the Lord did for me when
I went forth from Egypt." Not only our forefathers did
the Holy One, blessed is He, redeem, but also ourselves
did He redeem with them. As it is said: "And us did
He take out from there, in order to bring us hither,.
to give us the land which he had sworn unto our
fathers."

gion. or national origin of any
