I come from a Jewish background, and my family and I celebrate each year Passover, a week-long spring festival that commemorates the liberation of Israelites from slavery long ago in ancient Egypt. It is one of my favourite holidays, not only for the special foods that are served and the chance to be together with family, but more for the opportunity to reflect on freedom and how important it is to making life meaningful. It is the only religious holiday I know that emphasizes how precious freedom is.

Abstract


I come from a Jewish background, and my family and I celebrate each year Passover, a week-long spring festival that commemorates the liberation of Israelites from slavery long ago in ancient Egypt. It is one of my favourite holidays, not only for the special foods that are served and the chance to be together with family, but more for the opportunity to reflect on freedom and how important it is to making life meaningful. It is the only religious holiday I know that emphasizes how precious freedom is.
