Reflections for your Seder
At Pesach we remember our oppression in Egypt and our liberation from slavery. In the Haggadah we read that, "in every generation we are commanded to view ourselves as if each one of us was personally brought forth out of Egypt." The seder service and rituals aim to remind us of what it feels like to be a slave and to acknowledge and appreciate the freedom which we enjoy today.
It is all too easy to talk about slavery at our seder as if it were simply part of the past and not the present. Unfortunately, modern-day slavery exists.
As we sit together at the seder and recount our history and seek to experience it, we are provided with a unique opportunity to consider those people who are oppressed or enslaved today.
