> PASSOVER? THE FEAST OF
FREEDOM
Passover, the Jewish religious '*ln
depdence Day,", will be observed this
year beginning on Wednesday even
ing, April 20. As biblically prescrib
The festival celebrates the dei'ver
ance of the Jewa from Egyptian bond
age. With Moses as their leader they
experienced a miraculous leave-taking
about twelve centuries before tha
common era. The narrative of the
Exodus together with the ceremonial
laws attendant ar? ;^iven in great de
tail in the secon ! br jk of the Bible.
In addition to the eating of un
leavened bread, called mataoth, the
festival is characterized and ushered
in by the joyous ceremony of the Se
der. Here the youngest member of
the family asks four simple questions
about Passover, and in response the
father recounts the narrative of the
Exodus. Son/T? are sung, and therre is
much joy and thanksgiving.
The keynote of the holiday is free
dom. N<*t only is physical freedom
essential, but spiritual and religious
freedom are stressed. Tyranny ill
whatever form must be eradicated,
and he who shares a belief in the Di
vine can never be partner to servi
tude or oppression.
In our own day the significance of
the Pasewver message is doubly
meaningful. While men have turned
from outright slavery there is still
economic oppression and the denial of
freedom and liberty of body and con
science. Thus is the age-old message
of Passover as full of portent today
as it has been through the ages.
