Greetings! With the mash-up of the end of the academic semester and Passover, I need to take a break from writing a column this week. To those of you in the throes of grading – I wish you stamina. To those observing Passover, I wish you joy and belonging. Passover is essentially about mobilizing an oppressed people to seek freedom. A key theme is that of liberation. Another theme is to welcome the stranger. So, for this Passover, I hope that the spirit and actuality of liberation will be extended to all – especially the stranger in our midst. If we can embrace this, we also manifest another principle - Tikkun Olam. To repair the world. Now more than ever.

In solidarity,

Cheryl (chair@acosa.org)
