A group of Jewish and non-Jewish students gathered at the Gaza protest encampment at Columbia University Monday evening to celebrate Seder, a ritual feast at the start of the Jewish holiday of Passover.
Passover is a significant Jewish holiday that commemorates the liberation of the Israelites from slavery in ancient Egypt. It is a time for reflection, gratitude, and solidarity with those who are oppressed. The students at Columbia University recognized the importance of standing up for oppressed people everywhere, regardless of their background.
