We wish everyone a happy Passover 5785 and wish that this holiday will become a symbol not only of deliverance, but also of new hope for all of humanity

At this time of year, Jewish communities around the world celebrate one of the most important holidays — Passover, which symbolizes the liberation of the Jewish people from Egyptian slavery. This holiday is deeply rooted in Jewish tradition and continues to be passed down from generation to generation.

Passover is not only a reminder of liberation but also a lesson about the importance of fighting for freedom, which is especially relevant today when nations around the world, including Ukraine and Israel, continue to fight for their independence and the right to live freely.

Passover — The Holiday of the Exodus from Egypt

Passover is a holiday of freedom that tells the story of a great event in the life of the Jewish people. It was on this day, over 3,000 years ago, that the Jews, liberated from slavery in Egypt, began their journey to independence and the promised land. It is celebrated in memory of how Moses led the people out of slavery and how they began their path to freedom.

Seder — A Ritual that Infuses the Family

The Seder is a special ritual that is performed on the first and second evenings of the holiday. In Israel, the Seder is celebrated only on the first evening. On this evening, all present gather at the festive table to go through the various stages of the Seder, following the order (Seder in Hebrew). Each element on the table has special meaning and symbolizes elements of Jewish history and liberation.

Haggadah and the Role of History

Haggadah is the book that accompanies the Seder and helps participants go through all the traditional rituals. It tells in detail the story of the Exodus, how the Jews left Egypt, and how God granted them freedom. It is an important element that not only helps preserve traditions but also teaches the younger generation to love and respect their history.

Passover, Ukraine, and Israel: The Struggle for Freedom

Today, in the context of the ongoing Putin’s aggression against Ukraine, Passover takes on special significance. This holiday reminds us of the importance of fighting for freedom and independence. Just like in ancient times when the Jews fought for their freedom from Egyptian slavery, today Ukraine and Israel are fighting for their independence and the right to live in a free state.

For Israel, Passover has always been a symbol of the struggle for survival and freedom, as the country is founded on the ideas of Judaism and independence. While in Ukraine, the war continues, the people of this country, just like the Jewish people in the days of the Exodus, are fighting for their freedom, for the right to live in peace, without threats and violence.

However, on the path of these two countries stand enemies who want to take their freedom. For Ukraine, these enemies are Putin’s Russia and its allies, who continue to seize Ukrainian lands and threaten the peaceful population. For Israel, the enemies are Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, and other terrorist organizations, which threaten the existence of the Jewish state. Iran and Putin’s Russia are allies, supporting each other in their aggressive actions and terrorizing peaceful peoples.

A Call for Peace and Freedom

“May the coming year bring us victory and peace. May we go to theaters, not to war, may planes carry tourists, not bombs,” many say, for this holiday fills hearts with hope for a better future.

Seder

The Seder is not just a tradition, it is the most important moment of the holiday, bringing families together. This event is associated with many significant moments for the Jewish community, and each year it serves as a reminder of liberation and the opportunity to live in a free and peaceful state.

We congratulate everyone on Passover and wish that this holiday becomes a symbol not only of liberation but also of new hope for all of humanity. May the next year bring freedom and peace to all nations, and may our dreams of peace and prosperity become a reality.
