Passover
And Freedom
BY RABBI MARC H.
TANENBAUM
Special to The Jewish News
At sundown next Wednesday,
the Jewish, people begin the ob-
servance of Pesach, or Passover,
the oldest and undoubtedly the
most influential of the Jewish
festivals. Known in Jewish tra-
dition allitintin' Cherueenu, the
Season of our Freedom, Passover
commemorates the liberation of
the Israelites from bondage to
Pharoah in Egypt.
The Exodus from Egypt was
as much an act 'of liberation
from intolerable spiritual bon-
dage as it was redemption from
physical slavery. In Egypt, the
king was regarded as a god, a
divine mediator. He was the
source and master of the law,
never its servant, and men and
women were victims of his
whims. The rejection of Egypt
by Moses and the Israelites was
thus a declaration of spiritual
independence, an act of self-
determination of a people seek-
ing a life of human dignity and
freedom to be themselves.
But Passover celebrates not
only redemption as a past event,
but through the Seder .family
ceremonials, it re-enacts libera-
tibfk as a present-day eXperience.
That is why this Passover, the
worsening plight of the Jews in
the Soviet Union, Ethiopia, in
Arab countries and South Africa
will be uppermost in the minds
and hearts of Jewish families
everywhere.
When the words "Next Year
in Jerusalem" are recited, Jews
will be recommitting themselves
to the renewed struggle for lib-
eration and justice, until the
Exodus of Soviet and Ethiopian
Jews and that of all people who
seek freedom and self-
determination are realized
everywhere.

BB Opposes
Convention
Washington — B'nai B'rith
International has written to
President Reagan that it op-
poses his call for a national con-
vention as a means of amending
the Constitution to ensure bal-
anced federal budgets. Gerald
Kraft, B'nai B'rith president,
said, "We fear that such a con-
vention will also be used as a
vehicle to add other amend-
ments to the Constitution,"
Kraft said. He gave as a likely
proposal amendments that
would limit the Bill of. Rights.
'TIS ALL IT IS
London —. B'nai B'rith Inter-
national has asked the Polish
government to honor its com-
mitment under a 1972 UNESCO
convention to retain the unique
Jewish identification with Au-
schwitz by halting the construc-
tion of a Catholic Carmelite
convent on the site of the former
Nazi conventration camp.
