Redemption is awesome. Which is why everyone should bear witness to the ritual made famous by Jews around the world for centuries that celebrates a people’s redemption from slavery into freedom. According to Time “The Freedom Seder emerged in the mid–20th century as a joint celebration for both ethnic groups (blacks and Jews), and others generally caught up in union or leftist political struggles, to come together to celebrate the mythic promise of emancipation,” which speaks to the notion that the Seder is not simply a celebration of the Jews’ freedom from slavery—but of freedom at large for everyone in the world.
