On this Passover, the celebration that commemorates how God freed the Israelites from slavery in ancient Egypt as recounted in the Old Testament Book of Exodus, I wish to acknowledge our common roots in the history of salvation and extend to the Jewish Community of Northeast Ohio my heartfelt best wishes for the great Passover feast.
Borrowing the words of Pope Francis, “May the Almighty bless and accompany the journey of the beloved Jewish People. May the Most High allow us to grow ever more in friendship and to be witnesses of peace and harmony.”
Please be assured of my prayers for all of you during these Holy Days as I rely on your prayers for me.
