Pesach message from Dave Sharma
Former Australian ambassador to Israel and candidate for Wentworth in the upcoming election Dave Sharma sends his message for Pesach.
“I wish a Chag Pesach Sameach to the Jewish community celebrating the festival of Passover.
I have many fond memories of nights spent around the Seder table in Israel, reflecting on the escape from oppression, the pathway to liberty, and the triumph of freedom.
These messages are just as relevant today, and we must remember these values as we struggle against intolerance and affirm the freedoms we cherish as a society.
As we reflect on why this night is different from all other nights and retell the story of the escape from Egypt, we should also pause to cherish the freedoms we enjoy here in Australia and re-commit ourselves to protecting and preserving them.”
Thanks Dave for your well wishes, all the best to you and your family.
