Friend,
This year, our new Passover resource reflects on the radical idea
that we can all truly be free.
Check out this excerpt from Four Cups of Liberation:

Cup 1: Liberation is
Real
Do you believe liberation is possible, really possible? Because in
this moment, in the third Passover of a pandemic, as a backlash
against racial justice and equality and history washes over this
country, are we really able to believe that all of us, no matter our
race, class, or faith can be truly free?
It’s understandable if we’re tired. It’s understandable if our
moral imaginations are constricted in a place of narrowness. But the
Passover seder is an invitation to break out of those confines; it’s
an invitation to believe. We can be free—and free from the white
supremacy, antisemitism, and racism that shape the society we live
in.

One early downloader shared, “These readings are
beautifully written, thought provoking and hands-on.
I will share at my Seder Friday night and forward these powerful words
to friends, family, and colleagues. Many thanks. Here's to a
meaningful and lively Pesach for all!”
We hope you also love the inspiring illustrations and readings
you'll find in Four Cups of Liberation.
As a whole, they paint a picture of what liberation can look like —
and of the work we must do to get there, together.

breaking to reveal butterflies. Text in the illustration reads,
"Liberation is transformation." In the center are a child
and an adult sitting in a yellow field, next to a red and blue forest
and under a red sun with a purple cloud. Text in the illustration
reads, "Liberation is our ancestors' dreaming." On the
right is a person with footsteps in front of and behind them on yellow
sand dunes under a dark blue night sky with stars. Text in the
illustration reads, "Liberation is a constant journey."](https://assets.nationbuilder.com/jewishaction/mailings/2153/attachments/original/Passover_Resource_Three_Images_v3_%281%29_%281%29.png?1649816797)
