Hell's bells

Passover is a time to be humbled and for Jews to remember what it was like to be a slave. Most of all it is a celebration of freedom, of the joys and opportunities available when we are not forced to serve others.

The story of the Jewish Exodus from Egypt has inspired countless peoples suffering in slavery or oppression, notably African- American slaves in America during a shameful part of our history. It is a reminder to all of us that freedom is invaluable, that God wants us to be free of oppression. You don't have to be Jewish to appreciate that blessing.
