RE: [Cz-L] Pesach

Harry,

My family celebrates more the tradition of getting together and sharing the customs of our forefathers that bind us as a people, more than the religious doctrinal aspects. I get the sense from the talk of family and food; that many on this list are of the same mind. I am sure that others are more inclined towards a more heavenly perspective but that has always been the way. The religious spectrum is no more profound than in Israel where you can be Jewish and yet not religious or, conversely, extremely so. I for one, feel a great sense of bonding with this group of strangers that share my great grandparents' homeland heritage and the same traditions that have been passed from generation to generation, with or without Divine intervention.

Peace, health and happiness to all of you, on this "another day on the calendar."

Ken Cutler

I am surprised at the large numbers of our group who celebrate the
improbable Exodus with fervour. As a Humanist I find preoccupation with a
divinity odd. I am proud that one third of the worlds Nobel Prize winners are Jews and am sad that we have deviated so far from our objective of historical research and information about the Bukovina. With my family incarcerated, with
thousands, during WW2 the was no rescue offered from Above. Harry
