Trembling Before Frogs
Passover is the Jewish community’s celebration of our liberation from slavery. Each year we recall our exodus from bondage and rejoice in our freedom from oppression. We also recognize that we are not entirely free until every human being is free, free from tyranny, free from prejudice, free from discrimination, and free to pursue the fullness of life. There is now an attempt to amend the Constitution of the United States of America in such a way that it would preclude basic civil rights from the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender members of our community. We, all leaders in the Jewish community, deplore such an attempt and instead urge the president and members of Congress to protect the freedom of all that we might all celebrate our freedom together.
Over 120 Rabbis and Jewish Leaders from across the US have signed on to PFLAG’s (Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays) Passover Petition for Marriage Equality.
