We're A People

B

y almost any measurement, the Festival
of Passover is considered the most cele-
brated of all Jewish holidays in the dias-
pora, where levels of observance vary widely.
The holiday recalls the Israelites' flight from
Egyptian slavery and dogged pursuit of religious
freedom. It reminds us that people can be slaves
in more than a physical sense.
In Israel, Pesach is almost universally celebrated.
Ninety-four percent of Jewish Israelis attended a
seder Wednesday night, according to a poll taken
by the Israeli Hotel Association; 100,000 celebrat-
ed at a hotel. Israeli families hosted hundreds of
immigrant soldiers.
May this year's Festival of Passover serve as
common ground to bring diaspora and Israeli
Jews closer together as world attention returns to
the Arab-Israeli conflict — and the Jewish state's
ongoing battle to repel Palestinian aggression.
