To this child we answer

To this child we answer,

We celebrate Passover because remembering our time of slavery helps us to understand the suffering and anger of those who are still not free.

The compassionate child asks,

How can we celebrate our own freedom when others are still enslaved?

To this child we answer,

It is our duty to help others with their fight for freedom, even as we enjoy our own freedom.

The agnostic child asks,

What is the point of God having freed us in Egypt, only to allow us to become oppressed again so many times in our history?

To this child we answer,

God has shown us the Promised Land. We must look to ourselves and each other to find our way there.
