Passover

The Old Testament Feast of Unleavened Bread begins at sundown this evening. As is traditional, Paul Greenberg has a few words of wisdom. This year, however, his probing wit is absolutely superb in making a point which so desperately needs to be made. We were all, at least figuratively, once aliens in a strange land.

This is Lou Dobbs reporting from Goshen with breaking news: My sources tell me that a small, neoconservative cabal has given the Israelites orders to leave Egypt tonight now that negotiations over labor conditions have broken down.

Just how great an exodus Moses Amramson and his brother Aaron will be able to produce remains to be seen. It’s not clear if the Israelites could gain admission or find jobs in any other country, while here they’ve been gainfully employed doing the jobs Egyptians won’t do.
