The long-awaited and desired freedom
"And it shall come when your son asks you in the future:" What is this? "You will say:" With a strong hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt, the house of slavery " (Shemot 13:14).
Passover is a beautiful jag. His many teachings and educational meanings hold the eternal nature of all humanity. Une generation after generation by a national celebration, brings together families with a common past by asking children and parents telling, proclaiming throats joins exalted freedom. She so wished and longed for freedom, which is an integral part of our existence, without whom we could hardly say that we have lived, and never assert that we develop as people. This institution gruesome
created by men against men called slavery only allowed to live to die another day. The children of Israel were slaves, property of other subjects without exercise rights but with obligations to fulfill. Poverty, heartbreak and disappointment surrounding elements in a really foul destroyer of hope, buried dreams, aspirations repressor.
guide, Moshe, fulfilling a noble mission from Gd led the Jews to cut the chains that bound them, remove the whips beat and breathing the fresh air of freedom, the very breath that fills your lungs with oxygen and joy. The bitterness fostered by the tyrannical Pharaoh left behind, and people could live a new life according to its own law
Rescuing mainly the value of liberty and national character of the celebration, the Jews of every generation must see itself same as if they had left Egypt to become members of a free people. In this sense, from the secularism Berl Katznelson writes: "is hardly a high point of historical consciousness, and there in the world or cultures, an intense fusion individual and society at that old pedagogical. I know of no educational literary creation to despise slavery and love the freedom the story of the Torah on Pesach. Nor do I know, oldest memory, fully oriented towards the future as we say: "Zejer litziat Mitzraim - Remembrance of the Exodus from Egypt." What ancient instinct for freedom is printed in the heart of a people who could in the spring of his life, having gestated the great building, handing one to another generation ". For his part, Rabbi David Hartman gives us a religious reflection jag: "Night of the Seder highlights the essence of us Judaism as a religion of free will, and the essence of the Jews as the covenant people that we ourselves have chosen ".
The common future as a rising nation with renewed union hoped to Israel in the Promised Land, was going to be taken in their hands, to head according to the Torah and its precepts. No longer depended on the arbitrary and ruthless oppressor of the head. Freedom implies choice, determined, and provides a framework for personal growth and spirituality in the rationality of a being without the shackles opulent denigrate volitional capacity and expression of their will as such. Passover is the celebration of life free education that people do not violate the legitimate rights of others to submit their service unfairly regardless of their humanity, and that shows that happiness and progress as individuals and as a nation have a prerequisite that is enjoying the chance to drive without being despotic reduced to imprisonment involving a total lack of choice. Hence its beauty.
"A freedom has to be earned" is a phrase that resonates in wide social circles. Here we take the effort of a people is not free its loss at the hands of a tyrant enslaving and looking back. But we will say that people are born free, and so how we should live and die. No regime or leader gives us the freedom that would not exist without your favor, freedom is for all people, and the regulations under which the rule should only be recognized. Not created, but that it is printed on the nature of this world. You have to win when you're not, but it should be. As a value, as an inalienable right as human essence.
Thus, Israel and other nations can learn from Pesach to remain free the strength and sublimity reach the heart of its civilizations. Ezequiel
