Passover and Islam Eileen F. Toplansky

The Jewish holiday of Passover beckons mankind to the promise of freedom. As the late Holocaust survivor, Simon Wiesenthal said, “freedom is not a gift of heaven, you have to fight for it every day.†During the seder or festive meal, Jews the world over are enjoined to remember how difficult their lives were under the yoke of Egyptian slavery and they thank G-d for giving them the choice to be free, responsible, and independent people.
The central motif of the haggadah or text read during the seder is to answer the question “what makes this night different from all other nights?†Peppered with rabbinic ideas, in-depth questions, and insightful commentary, the text is an effort to “learn, study and analyze the events†surrounding the time in ancient Egypt when Hebrews were not free, but were slaves.
