Four nights ago, Rabbi Daniel Smith and his family joined Jewish families all over the world in celebration of the first evening of Passover. Regardless of nationality, Jews are united by their observance in Hebrew of the Seder, through which they reaffirm freedom from slavery.
Rabbi Smith 's family, with its
Spanish-Portuguese, Polish and Czech origins, came together to remember that first escape of the Children of Israel and, in so doing, recalled some of their own experiences of release from persecution.
