The Modern Plagues
Today, we face a litany of threatening plagues, all more terrifying than the traditional plagues of the Passover story. Each has an obvious antidote, but enacting them will be the task of the generations. That effort is the lesson of the Seder: It is not enough to celebrate freedom, we must also work for it.
