By Rabbi Charles E. Shulman
Passover is the oldest of Jew¬ ish festivals. It marks the birth of the Jewish people. Its Sab¬ bath and Festival prayers are in memory of the Exodus from Egypt. Its impact on Jewish his¬ tory stamps it as the supreme event hi the experience of Israel.
The ceremonies of the breaking and the eating of theunleavened bread and the drinkUig of the four cups of wines accompanying every Seder observance are not only perennial reminders that Jews date their beginnings from humble origins — We Were Slaves unto Pharaoh hi Egypt— but also constitutes the basic ele¬ ments of Christianity's "Last Supper" observance vvhere these symbols are Interpreted as the body and blood of its Christ.
IN SPITE OF Its great antiq¬ uity, briginathig as It did over three thousand years ago, Pass¬ over's message of freedom is as startllngly new today as it was In the time of the ancient Egyp¬ tian Pharaohs. Its message is not limited to Jews alone but reaches to all creeds and all nations.
The cry "let my people go!" is still heard in many parts of the world, in Soviet Russia and in Arab lands where the descend¬ ants of the ancient Egyptian slaves StIU yearn for freedom, in America where the Negroes are StIU struggling to cast off the chains left from, the CivU War a century ago, in South Africa and Rliodesia where the blind arrogance' of Apartheid cruelly and unjustly- separates one pea pie'from another, creating a mas^ ter and slave environment, on the continent of Asia where mUUons live lives of deprivation and hardship according to whims of dictators of the right or the left.

Talmiidlo Legends on Passover
There are two Talmudic leg¬ ends connected with the Pass¬ over story which shed a great Ught on our own time. One of them states that when the Egyp- lans were drowning In the Red Sea the angels began to sing in celebration of the catastrophe. But God silenced the angels with the words, "My chUdren are dy¬ ing and you are singing!" In this manner the ancient Rabbis of Israel, the "poets of religion" as the great English Divine Jeremy Taylor caUed them, taught us that every struggle on behalf of a noble causednevltably
demands a great price In human suffering.
A second legend, so markedly significant In history, , tells va that Pharaoh did not share the fate of his warriors at the Red Sea. He escaped drowning and he Uves on, standing forever at the gates of Hell and, as tyrant after tyrant throughout the centuries enters the portals of that region, he greets each one with the words: "Why did you not profit by my example?!' The legend iUustrates the old-new message of Passover, Its enduring challenge, and the tragic fact that history repeats ItseK so often In the affairs of men.
FOB THOUSANDS of years the story of the Exodus from Egypt has been repeated in every
:^-
portion of the world. Men havb left darkeined lands of their bhrth to seek refuge under freedom. They discovered new continents and built new civilizations in their desire to escape oppression and tyranny. But today there are no distant lands removed from the influence of the modem Pharaohs. The aeroplane has eliminated distance to such an extent that it gives great weight to the words of our national an¬ them, "no refuge can save the hireling and slave from the ter¬ ror of night or the gloom of the grave." .
We are no longer able to flee from the wickedness of men.-We must stay where we are and meet the challenge of might and

HAPPY PASSOVER t
THE VEBY WORD "Pharaoh' has, throughout the generations, become a symbol of Intolerance, greed and darkness, whUe the Exodus from Egypt has charac¬ terized the struggle for Ube^ hi land after land throughout the centuries.
In the days of the American Revolution the Continental Con¬ gress appointed a committee consisting of Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin and John Adams to draw up a design for the seal of the United States. These distinguished foimdlng fa¬ thers of the RepubUc proposed that the seal of our nation should be a picture of the crossing of the Red Sea by the ancient Is¬ raelites. Their recommendation was not accepted, but theh: act reflects the thinking of the American colonists in those eighteenth century days who In-
