Passover 2005 message from Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein

Posted by from Rabbi Eckstein on July 01, 2005 at 06:50:46:

More Jews around the world observe Passover than any other Jewish holiday.

Passover recalls the exodus from Egypt, when Moses led the Jewish people through the desert on the way to the Promised Land.

In the Passover haggadah, the written guide to the festive meal, this holiday is referred to as Chag Z'man Cherutenu, or the “Holiday of the Time of our Redemption.”

Through your generosity, Jews from around the world have experienced a modern-day exodus, rescued from countries of oppression and brought to Israel to begin new lives in a free and secure land.

But more than 3,300 years after Moses brought the Israelites forth from Egypt, there are still Jews living under the yoke of oppression. And without your help -- unless you come forward as their modern-day Moses -- they will remain in bondage, even in this 21st century.

Dear friends, the Jewish holiday of freedom will be upon us in just a few weeks. Because we are directed by our Heavenly Father to care for the needy in our midst, let us take that commandment to heart.

Please help me to ensure that Passover will indeed bring freedom for those Jews still struggling to reach the Holy Land … and that it will be a time of warmth and inspiration for those who never before had the freedom to practice their Jewish religion.

Will you help me? For every donation of $500, The Fellowship will bring home one Jewish man, woman or child … home to Israel, the birthplace of the Jewish people … and provide food and housing as that individual begins a new life.

For too many years, the Jewish people have been separated from their homeland and their destiny. But today it is within our power to bring them together once again.

Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein
