At Seder tables around the world, Jews retell the story of the Israelites exodus from Egypt and liberation from slavery and oppression. Since 2007, Israelis and Internationals have organized annual "Refugee Seders" to recognize the modern day exodus of 60,000 asylum seekers from African countries who have come to Israel. This year marked the first refugee seder to be held at the Holot detention facility in the Negev, where 1500 asylum seekers are being imprisoned indefinitely.
