Bread of Affliction
Sunday, April 16, 2000 - 5:00pm
The Rev. Meg Riley, guest speaker
The unleavened bread eaten by the Israelites as they fled Egypt and slavery is referred to in the seder as "Lechem Oni," the bread of affliction. Eating it reminds the Jewish people each Passover that their ancestors were enslaved and then liberated. This service will examine the complexities of affliction and liberation, present and past, for the Jews and for all people.
