Passover is one of the main Jewish holidays. This year, it begins at sunset on April 22 and concludes on the evening of April 30, a period marked by particularly challenging times.

Passover is a moment to reflect on our history, recalling how our ancestors were freed from slavery and embarked on their journey to freedom. This holiday is not merely a historical event, but also a source of inspiration for our present and future.

The events of October 7 marked a turning point, starkly dividing our lives into “before” and “after”. It witnessed the most extensive killing of Jews since the Holocaust. The resurgence of anti-Semitism globally has reminded us that hatred towards Jews has not vanished; it merely lurked behind a facade of civility.

Jews around the world have awakened to a new reality, one that has laid bare our vulnerabilities and shattered any illusions. It underscores a poignant truth: the survival of our people hinges solely on our unity, with Israel at its heart.
