Passover is a reminder of the value of freedom in Judaism, going beyond physical liberation to encompass human dignity, divine purpose, and moral responsibility. The concept of freedom is explored in early appearances in the Torah, linking Passover with the fight for freedom in Abraham's war and Lot's moral bravery. The true essence of freedom is the ability to choose what is right, even in the face of societal pressure. The vision of freedom in Jewish thought is a society built on covenant, friendship, and unity, where no human rules over another. Passover invites us to remember that true freedom is not the absence of limits but the presence of purpose.
