59 Sharing Passover
An ecumenical seder shares
traditions with non-Jews.
s American Jews, our every-
day lives must include
awareness of the war against
the al Qaida terrorist network and
its mastermind, Osama bin Laden.
But we also must keep a steady
watch on Israel, the homeland of the Jewish
people. For nearly 18 months, it has been
under siege by Palestinian extremists led by
Yasser Arafat and his shockingly savage way
of expressing dissent.
In today's special report, On Guard, we
highlight some of the local events the Jewish
community has taken part in against the
backdrop of Mideast violence. Were half
a world away, but we must never let down
our guard over our beloved Israel.
