5784 Passover
Dear friends and family ,
As we all sit down for our Seders this holiday, it will be hard to forget that whilst we celebrate our freedom from the Egyptians, 133 of our extended family are hostages in Gaza, tens of thousands of our families cannot celebrate the holiday in their homes and our soldiers are fighting bravely for the security of our home land .
More than ever, we need to ensure that this Passover is a holiday of unity and belief to allow our great people to emerge from these challenges with peace and happiness .
Let’s us hope that virtually having the hostages with us at the table will hopefully anticipate their safe return.
Let us pray for all of us to have a wonderful and meaningful passover to remember that with our unity and faith we will be able to overcome our current challenges in Israel and in the diaspora .
Chag Sameach !
