Not all enjoy the prosperity and abundance which seem to surround us. One needn't look very far to find someone who is homeless, someone who lacks adequate medical care, someone who seek employment to support a family. This is not the Promised Land for thousands upon thousands for whom it should be just that. Many are enslaved not by physical bonds, or even economic bonds, but by bonds of memory and emotion. Slavery comes in many forms, and to these forms of enslavement, the message of Passover speaks loudly, as well.
Redemption is the promise for all people.
Each year we gather with family and friends to relive the Exodus from Egypt. We do not merely retell the story, we relive the event, spiritually. On the seder plate are found six items. The egg used on the seder plate can be roasted along with the shankbone. The egg has also come to symbolize the new life of our people in freedom, as well as the rebirth of springtime.
