Monday evening will be the first evening of Passover, the holiday where Jews remember the Exodus from Egypt, freedom from slavery, and wandering in the desert for 40 years before entering the Holy Land.
Through the ages, as we retell the Passover story, asking why is this night different from all others, we can almost always find a current-day connection to the Passover story. But this year feels different.
We have just witnessed the mass gassing of its own innocent citizens by the Syrian regime. We see thousands of people around the world who are trying to escape oppression and horrific circumstances. Many of them are forced to leave their home lands and wander aimlessly looking for a better life, for the ability to live in freedom and safety.
But this year, many countries, including the United States, are choosing to turn their backs on refugees, to close our borders, to put our own citizens first. When we turn our backs on those in dire need–those without a location to rest safely or a place to call home–we deny our own humanity. We have all at one time been wandering in our own desert.
What makes this night different is that this year we have the opportunity to raise our voices and tell those who are in need we are here to support them. We honor the strength and resilience of refugees across the world, as they search for a way to rebuild their lives in the year to come.
