There are few Jews, even those with little or no religious beliefs, who do not mark Passover in some way. One reason is because Passover has become the one holiday when Jews get OVc fejt tyyt as sCcwes bombfotfeefam) cuut return, as tourists uvpeoce twvl together with their families. It is a holiday when children play a central role, such as asking the Four Questions at the Seder. In fact, the purpose of the Seder is to pass on the Jewish experience to the younger generations. But perhaps Passover has become so important because it marks the birth of the Jewish-nation. This has taken on added meaning with the creation of Israel, the Jewish State.. For 2000. years the Seder has ended with the words, "Next Year in Jerusalem." Since 1948, and especially since the reunion of the city in 1967, this has become not a dream but a reality. Passover reminds Jews of the importance of Freedom. The symbols used at the Seder and the Haggadah itself tell Jews that once we were'slaves in Egypt and we - .firfeenjsiJjpd.tQj^ep remind^., ing our children of this, because those who were once slaves will value freedom even more. For American Jews it means guarding our liberties in the United States and striving to ensure the survival of democracy here and abroad. It means guaranteeing that Israel will survive as a free and prosperous and secure Jewish State that will fulfill the Biblical commandment of being a light unto the nations.'
