Blessings for peace in your heart.
Passover, the most celebrated of all Jewish holy days, begins at sunset, and continues for eight nights. It commemorates the freeing of Israelite slaves in Egypt. Whether you read it in the Bible, or saw it at the movies, God parting the Red Sea so that Moses can lead his people to freedom, is powerful.
Wandering the desert, the tribes of Israel became lost souls, their lives far from Godly. It must have been like a Burning Man gathering gone terribly wrong. So, God laid down the law. Thou shalt not kill, is just one of the Ten Commandments. Freedom doesn't give anyone the right to do whatever they want.
The concept of freedom - of social justice, and equality - is central to Passover.
