The Reality of Slavery - A Passover Reflection

Dear Friends,

Happy Passover,
As our family sat down this year to once again celebrate freedom. We began as usual with the story of slavery. But, this year we did it a little bit differently, instead of reciting the story of our ancestors slavery in Egypt, we began to talk about the slavery that we are perpetuating currently.

There is too much Human Trafficking in the United States as well as abroad, too many women and children and in some cases men, are forced into labor for no or little pay, and even more, are traded as sex slaves.

This year, as we commemorate the freedom of our ancestors and reflect on the miracle of freedom, will you take active action in helping eliminate the current slavery that exists in our midst right now?

A dear friend of mine, Rabbi Heather Altman, has created an easy way for each and every one of us to get involved.  Please read the link below and contribute to this important cause… please note that I am one of the contributors to the 49 day countdown.

Many Blessings
May we sit at next year at our Passover Seder knowing that every human being is truly free.
Amen

Blessings and Love,

Chani
