A Passover Message from the Rabbis of Detroit
<9'n these weeks
when we anticipate the celebration of
Passover, two historic figures stand out as instruments of Divine
deliverance of our people from slavery to freedom. They are
Moses, leader of the Exodus - from Egypt, and Elijah, symbol of the
universal deliverance which is yet to be.
Because we look forward more than backward, it is Elijah who
is the unseen guest at every Seder. Because there are those who are
still not rescued, it is Elijah's spirit which inspires our own. Because
all Jews are guarantors for each other, it is our duty and responsi-
bility to raise every Jew in peril or want from degradation to
fulfillment.
suppoitt
and strength we can give is needed wherever
there are Jews. We can help .. .
• Thousands of Israel's immigrants still struggling to build
secure, productive lives;
• Soviet Jews in modern exodus to a new life;
• Oppressed Jews everywhere hemmed in by fear, poverty
and denial;
• The aged, poor and handicapped of our own community
whose "exodus" from want and hopelessness is no less a
struggle;
• The communal instruments of spiritual renewal which sen-
sitize us as Jews, protect us from ignorance and indifference
and build Jewish understanding and loyalty in our children.
atiefteltOP , we, the rabbis of Detroit, affirm that it is the
obligation and privilege of every individual and member of a
congregation to cooperate fully with the 1977 Allied Jewish
Campaign-Israel Emergency Fund.
To meet the needs of Jews here and everywhere, it is a
privilege and obligation of every Jewish man and woman, young
and old, to be among the donors.
cite, the ttabbLs
of metropolitan Detroit, urge you to effect
an extended deliverance, in the spirit of Elijah, by your best possi-
ble contribution to the 1977 Allied Jewish Campaign-Israel
Emergency Fund.
