Passover Sunday, Seattle

Friends will soon be arriving at Sooze and Benjamin’s for the Seder. Sooze used to be a professional cook and has prepared dishes from Surinam, Persia, Italy and Morroco. The Haggadah that they have assembled includes words from Israelis and Palestinians. And begins with Desmond Tutu:

We must remember that liberation is costly. It needs unity. We must hold hands and refuse to be divided. We must be ready. Some of us will not see the day of our liberation physically. But those people will have contributed to the struggle. Let us be united, let us be filled with hope. Let us be those who respect one another.
