Include Darfur in your Seder!

In past years, Jews throughout the world have been asked to remember other oppressed groups in their Passover seders: Soviet Jews, Ethiopian Jews, etc. This Passover, we ask you to think of the genocide taking place in Darfur.

Please take the time to view a Passover Insert that consists of readings of global concern including a mention of those oppressed by the janjaweed militia in Darfur. In addition, please read a Passover reflection by Rabbi Michael Strassfeld from the Society for the Advancement of Judaism entitled Who Knows One.

Please find an appropriate moment in your Passover seder to read them so that you and your guests can leave the seder inspired to take action.
