Modern Version of the Passover Festival

Passover assumes new aspects of im-
portance this year. Once again, Israel is
in conflict with Egypt. Again, the suc-
cessors of the Pharaohs have set out to
oppress Israel and to strive for its sub-
jugation. The new Pharaohs are not con-
tent with their hatred for the Israelis.
They seek vengeance against all Jewry,
against the kinsmen of all of the people of
Israel.
- Once again, therefore, the Jewish
people takes stock of its position. Again,
we turn to the Bible. We recall the tri-
umphs of the past and the successes that
were scored by the Israelis only a few
months ago. We see an analogy between
the two events when we read in Exodus
(14:25):

"And He took off their chariot wheels,

and made them to drive - heavily; so that
the Egyptians said: 'Let us flee from the

face of Israel; for the Lord fichteth for
them against the Egyptians.' "
How true that was again in 1956, as
it was 3,500 years ago! But in the struggle
against the Pharaohs of old the Israelites
had the objectives of reaching the
Promised Land, of commencing the
struggle for nationhood. In the fight
against Nasser, modern Israel was faced
with the responsibility of protecting its
re-attained independence.
Now Israel faces new challenges. It is
not •Nasser alone, but those who quiver
and tremble before him, who present
problems to Israel. Now, if "the Lord
fighteth for them," He must not only
change the hearts of Israel's adversaries
but He must also inspire the nations of
the world with courage and confidence in
the fight that is imminent for the freedom
of peoples, for the right of smaller nations
to exist without the constant threat of
Pharaoh's Belligerency.
Therefore, the descendants of the an-
cient Israelites, while they no longer need
to cross the desert to reach the Promised
Land, nevertheless are challenged to hold
on to the established precedent of retain-
ing their own courage to fight for its
liberties, and at the same time, while
holding on to their forts .. . to the final
bastion of their freedom ... to guide man-
kind again onto the road that leads to
equality and justice for all mankind.
The Passover Festival established a
great tradition for all peoples. It was the
.first concerted effort by a nation to rebel
against tyranny and to strive for inde-
pendence. This role again is assigned to
Israel. The brave people of that little land
does it with courage, and by reciting an
ancient Passover prayer:
"As Thou hast protected the children
of Israel throughout the past, so mayest
Thou deliver them wherever they are
still bowed beneath the oppressor's
yoke. May all persecution cease, and
every trace of bondage disappear from
among men, so that at last a universal
feast of freedom shall be celebrated in
Thy name, 0 God of Freedom, Father of
all mankind."
Israel's kinsmen also have a responsi-
bility: to remain by the side of this people;
to assist it in its valiant efforts for justice;
to protect it within the councils of the
nations of the world with whom Israel is
allied in the world organization known
as the United Nations. The kin and kith
of the Israelis have the-duty of aiding the
embattled nation economically, to provide
them with the assistance they need in
completing the ideal of the ingathering of
the exiles who. must be rescued from
oppression.
American Jewry is especially charged
with the task of providing the major por-
tion of the aid that is due to Israel from

world Jewry in the struggle to provide
homes for the homeless. We have re-
deemed ourselves in great measure in the
past. Passover is the occasion to re-dedi-
cate ourselves to this sacred responsibility.
As we exchange Passover greetings, let us
be heartened by the knowledge that we
are not shirking our duties.
A happy Passover to all!

Lest We Forget

Passover .Ritual of Remembra nce

. Three years ago, the eminent Jewish author, Rufus Learsi, prepared a new Seder Ritual of
Remembrance, for the six million Jews who perished at the hands of the Nazis, and for the heroes
of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising. Inclusion of this ritual during the recital of the Seder Haggadah
now has become an established tradition in many Jewish homes.
•
A newly-formed Seder Ritual Committee, functioning with the endorsement of rabbis of all
denominations, educators, authors -and Jewish communal leaders, urges American Jewry to make
wide use of this ritual. Copies of the Ritual are available from the Seder Ritual Committee,
16 E. 85th St., New York 28. To facilitate -
its use, The Jewish News offers it herewith to its readers.
This Ritual is to be performed after the third of the Four Ceremonial Cups, just before the
door is opened for the symbolic entrance of the Prophet Elijah. •

PART

The host, or a guest, reads this rendition of the Hebrew.

On this night of the Seder we remember with reverence and love the six millions
of our
people of the European exile who perished at the hands of a tyrant more wicked
than
the
Pharaoh who enslaved our fathers in Egypt. Come, said he to his minions, let us cut
them off
from being a people, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more. And they slew
the
blameless and pure, men and women and little ones, with vapors of poison, and burned
with fire. But we abstain from dwelling on the deeds of the evil ones lest we defame the them
of God in which man was created.
image
Now, the remnants of our people who were left in the ghettos and camps of annihilation
up against the wicked ones for the sanctification of the Name, and slew many of them before rose
died. On the first day of Passover the remnants in the Ghetto of Warsaw rose up against they
an
adversary, even as in the days of Judah the Maccabee. They were lovely and pleasant in

their

lives, and in their death they were not divided, and they brought redemption to the name of Israel through
all the world.

And from the depths of their affliction the martyrs lifted their voices in a song _of faith in the coming
of the Messiah, when justice and brotherhood will reign among men.
