Interfaith Passover Seder
recalls struggles for freedom
by Sherry Frank
Southeast \rca Director
American Icuish Fammillcc
We read in the Passover liturgy.
“In every generation all are obliged
to regard themselves as it they had
personally gone forth from Egypt.
We look upon ourselves as though
we were among those enslaved and
then brought forth unto freedom.”
This theme was carried out in a
meaningful way for the capacity
crowd of 200 blacks and Jews and
white Christians who gathered at
The Temple Monday evening to
share an interlaith Seder.
Mayor Andrew Young began
the service speaking about slavery
for black Americans. He talked
about the diverse languages the
African Americans spoke and the
difficulty they had creating any
sense of community and transmit
ting tradition to future genera
tions.
Rabbis Alvin Sugarman and Sam
Weinstein led the service and ex
plained the various symbols on the
Seder plate, which were sampled at
the appropriate time. The liturgy
tells us that as we recall God’s
promise of redemption, we remem
ber that in every age some plot our
destruction. This theme was per
sonalized through the words of a
child of Auschwitz, Anne Frank,
Winnie Mandela, Anatoly Siicha-
ransky and Martin Luther King Jr.
In a strong low voice, Mayor
Young led the singing of “Go
Down Moses.” The words “let my
people go” had a beautiful ring
throughout The Temple’s Friend
ship Hall.
When we recited the 10 plagues
John Miles Lewis, Shana Goz.ansky (hidden) and Andrew Frank ask
the four questions. Rabbi Samuel Weinstein is at right.
and dropped wine into our plates,
we paused for a few moments of
silenceto ponder 10 modern plagues;
discrimination, poisoning of our
earth, ravages of war, economic
injustice, chemical dependency,
world hunger, religious intoler
ance, umemployment, denial of
human rights, threat of nuclear
holocaust.
As we read the story of the Jews’
exodus from Egypt we recalled
present day struggles:
Homeless - “It makes it easier to
accept the existence of the home
less if you believe that they have no
families, no relatives, no friends."
Ethiopia - “I was born in Ethio
pia but my real homeland is Zion.
We were poor, uneducated, but at
least we were Jews. To stay alive
and leave Sudan safely is a dream
It’s a dream come true.

Matzah of Hope - “This is a
symbol of hope for the three mil
lion Jews of the Soviet Union and
for the 22 million blacks in South
Africa.
Soviet Jews are not free to leave,
not free to learn of their Jewish
past or to hand it down to their
children. They cannot teach the
language of their ancestors.
Blacks in South Africa are slaves
to the cruel system of apartheid.
They are not free to govern their
own country, they are not free to
speak out against their oppression,
they are not free to work or live
where they choose.”
Holocaust - “To us the Holo
caust is not only an indelible mem
ory of horror; it is a permanent warning
...for we have seen the end of crea
tion. In the shadow of permanently
flaming gas chambers...we have
witnessed a pilot project for the
destruction of humanity.”
Rabbi Sugarman explains the
meaning of matzo.
A traditional Passover meal was
served and as I w'alked from table
to table people were asking ques
tions about the gefilte fish, mat/o
balls, kugel and various aspects ol
Passover observance. After dinner,
children searched for the afikomin
and were rewarded with candy
bars from Israel. We filled our
fourth glass of wine, opened the
door for Elijah and sang tradi
tional songs. Then we all stood and
joined hands, circling the entire
room. Mayor Young led us in sing
ing “We Shall Overcome.”
