Tonight is the first night of Passover, the most celebrated Jewish Holiday in America

Passover is  the Most Celebrated Jewish holiday in America

Simply put, like America itself, Passover is about freedom.  It celebrates the eternal quest for human dignity and the freedom which is perhaps the greatest expression of that dignity.

Nowhere, and at no time, in 3,000 years of Jewish history have Jews known the kind of centuries-long freedom and security which are the American Jewish experience. The Passover story of freedom -- of the journey from oppression to opportunity -- is also the American story at its best, not just for Jews but for all people, and it rings deeply true when it is told at Seder tables across this nation.

And you don't have to be Jewish for me to wish you all a Happy Passover.

especially to one particular gent from New York!!!

You too, Doc.
