"Further, the Passover affirms the great truth that liberty is the inalienable right of every human being.... Pharaoh enslaved a whole race, and was chastised for his crime by the Divine Hand. But in thus intervening between the slave and his oppressor the Almighty fixed His canon against slavery for all time. He thereby declared that every human being has the right to the freedom which will enable him to develop to the utmost all the powers of body, of mind, of soul, with which God has endowed him; and that slavery, therefore, with its debasing effects upon the intellect and the character, is a sin against the laws of God himself." -- Morris Joseph, "Passover," Judaism as Creed and Life

[To my Orthodox Christian kin and friends, a blessed Good Friday. And to my Jewish friends, enjoy the last night of Pesach (if I'm reading the calendar right?).]
