ETERNAL VALUES OF PESAGH OBSERVANCE
By DR. HELEN HIRSCH
The welding of people into a peo¬ ple takes place at its deliverance. The Almighty said to Moses: "The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep; seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bfead, as I com¬ manded thee, at the time appoint¬ ed in the month of Abib ... for in it thou earnest out of Egypt" (Exo¬ dus 23, M-17).
The Passover season makes a strong appeal to popular conscious¬ ness, for it dates back to the birth- date of the Jewish people. The month ot Nisan was ordained to be the beginning ot months, the first month ot the year.

For many are our op¬ pressed brethren scattered all over the globe for which freedom Is still to dawn.
There is one constantly repeated theme in the Seder service point¬ ing again and again to the tact that the colorful Passover observ¬ ance should exert a practical in¬ fluence upon the thought and con- (eontinuad on  paga  4)
