After a gap of several years, Anat and I returned to performing 'our' song
at the beginning of the Passover ceremony. The entire evening was very
enjoyable and allowed one to forget the past few years.
As expected, there were more than a few references to the current
internal situation in Israel; whilst the text of the ceremony is fixed (in
the booklet that contains the text, but one could produce a new booklet),
the 'blessings' that accompany the traditional four cups of wine are
written anew each year. Naturally the topic of being slaves in Egypt and
suffering under the Pharoah has several parallels to today's situation,
although we feel that it's the story in reverse: after having been free
men, we are now entering a period of 'slavery', or at least, having our
freedoms curtailed.
I could choose from two pictures to display here: the other picture
doesn't cut me off on the left, but I can see that we are getting ready:
I am fixing the capo on the guitar and Anat is looking off to the side
and not to the microphone. So I feel that the above picture is
better.
This day in history:
