Chag samech to those who celebrate.
Let’s remember the hostages, those who escaped, those who were murdered and those who have still not been returned.
Tonight, there will be a Seder seat at my table for a hostage who is still being held captive.
As Jewish communities commemorate freedom from slavery, let us also hope that this next year is a better place for the hostages, Israelis and Jews, who are once again facing abuse, antisemitism and aggression, in work places, schools and communities.
