Capping an extremely busy weekend, I was participant in an interesting Seder tonight in Berkeley. Multi-religious, multi-cultural and tremendous fun, three particular phrases stayed with me:
“We who are heirs to centuries of fear and wickedness, here tonight to celebrate our freedom.”
“We make our religions look like us. What I’m interested in are those parts which do not look like us, because those are the parts of ourselves we need to remember.”
“While with Pesach we celebrate in specificity the liberation theology of Judaism, we’re actually celebrating all liberation theologies throughout the world, those which influenced Judaism and those it influenced and merged with in return. This night is for all oppressed people, everywhere.”
I’m raising this fifth glass of wine to you, dear reader. To freedom and to life… LeChaim!
