The prayer was offered by the Chaplain, Student Rabbi Avi Fine, Congregation Sukkat Shalom. Senator Hoffman moved and asked unanimous consent that the prayer be spread. Without objection, it was so ordered. The Jewish people are in the middle of celebrating Passover, the holiday that celebrates the ancient Israelites' escape from slavery in Egypt. Though this biblical event took place centuries ago, we are commanded to see ourselves, as if each one of us, left Egypt. We eat Matzah, a dry, flat, cracker like food, to recreate the sensation of not having proper food to eat. We dip our vegetables in salt water to recall the tears shed during our slavery. Each of these immerse us in the experience of the ancient slaves. We recall our past as slaves not to wallow in it, but to guide our actions in the present, as we look toward the future. We know what it was like to be enslaved, we therefore must fight slavery and oppression today. 2017-04-14 Senate Journal Page 0944 Passover is also a time of hope. As we tell our story of redemption, we taste the bitterness of slavery and the sweetness of freedom. Passover coincides with the thawing of the ground and the new growth of plants. It is a time of rebirth and renewal. Yet, there are too many in our country and world who are stuck in oppression and slavery and cannot experience the sweetness of freedom and renewal. In this time of hope, O God, may You help all of us find the eternal message of liberation in our hearts. May each of your work in this chamber seek to aid those who need it most. And may the message of Passover inspire within us the desire to bring hope and freedom to all. And let us say: Amen. Senator Giessel led the Senate in the Pledge of Allegiance. Certification Senator Micciche moved and asked unanimous consent that the journal for the eighty-seventh legislative day be approved as certified by the Secretary. Without objection, it was so ordered.
