Yhe Uniirersal Message Of Passover
BY CHARLES E. SHULMAN
Passovje^r is a decidedly Jewish iKiIiday recalling the ^odas oftiie ancient Jewish
. communiiy firam Egypt and iniuidng the begimdngs at tbe Jewish people. Evety
, Sabbath and holiday ts us¬ hered tai witii the traditional "Uddusfaf^ prayer the clausie "Zecher/ Mitzrayinf*— Inieunmem- oratlan of tiie l^nre taldng trom ti» land cTEgypt Yet Passover has neveri failed to bear a message for all
' maUUnd that .some day ail slaves regardless of tiieir origin woddbe firee andthat all tyra&oy r^iardless tt whether that on the Nilfi or in other sections ofthe world
would eventually end.
The iiread of afflicttonand the bittei''terbsieaten attiie Fassoyeir Seder are accom*-!^ panied by the reminder ttat^^ tlie Egyptians conllict witfa the Jew threetbousandyears ago is not attogettier atUng bt tbe past It continuies for Jews as well as for other -. peoples age after age. , ^ I^9UR day the name Pbar- Up/ii'-^i-'otdy a generic.one ' tm aiQr dictator uriioenslaves • human beings, Tberef(wie,.tai evray period the Jew is ad- libKtfae Haggadabtocdn-! ' tte Passover Seder as time.he personallyex- perienoes the exodus flrom Egypt.
The, holiday was ordained in the Jewish tradition as a perpetual warning thata
slave has no existence worthy of tiie human being andthat only in fireedom can manrise .to his true estate. Indeed, ^tbe' Commandment to Iceep tiie Sabbath found intiie Book of Deuteronomy specificaBy' relates, tiie day at rest, to the dignity oCiliehumanbeing as a result of tie Pa^^iira^ ejdsode of leaving the land of Egypt.     . "     *
IT TELLS us that a Cree man, uniike 4>e slave, has a corparate litie df his own and cano^r itas lie wislies. The Commandment in Den- teifononiy' dWillis on the human aspect oftiie Sabbath observance in cootradictian to its divine character or¬ dained in the Book oCExodus when it states: "And thou shait  remember  that 0^
wast a sexi^int in the land of Egypt and the Lord thy God brought Jthee out thence .hy a mlgbt^^haiid and anout- streteiied| afin| Tlierefare the Lord tby 'God commanded thee to' Iteep tiie Sabbath

/ >it-wa^ liabural far-ti» op- .'pressed; jew, at the: ghetto^ • a victual ypiisaner  aC the dominant [iMuii|cal rulers un- derWUcljii^ lived, toapprec- iate the relevance ofthe . Passorcr story to Ids own soriy condition. T|ie' Egyp¬ tian Hharabh <ftbe Passover Haggadah was yeiy^real to him because bib oppressor at tbe day viaa a living and painful reminder of the aa^ cientt^aiit.
THE BREAD of affUction and the bitter lerbs he tas¬
ted on tiie Passover eve were' not alone symbols oftiy-gone days^ They were part of his diaily We. Therefore he rongedNnot cnly for his own liberatiaii. at the Passover season, but for a more en¬ lightened day when all men would be fireie. The conclud¬ ing words of his Haggadah "Next Year in Jerusalem" . signified more tiian a return . to the land of his fathers. ^ "they represented the, id- timate-aoceptance'hy.tilte woirld of etldcBof hi'sfaUers ydieb, when penetrai;ing tb the hearts of the rulers of all nations would teach tbeni how to beat their swords into plowshares and tiieir spears into pruning hoc^s so that in a better social order tile Jew would find peace in
his daily life.
THE PASSOVER hdidajr is 4;^ essentially a tribute, to tiie  ^ ^ faith of the Jew that some *^', 'day ~ perhaps next year as'' be expressed the wish an- ' nually ~ tiie strong would be just the just would,be strong.
