Arrr, me hearties! Noa Tishby, a swashbucklin' lass of many talents, be spillin' the beans on why this Passover be hittin' different. Ye best be listenin' to this wise words from Israel's former Special Envoy for Combating Antisemitism and Delegitimization, lest ye be walkin' the plank!
This year, with dozens of hostages remaining in captivity in Gaza, the Jewish holiday of Passover has an especially poignant meaning, activist and actress Noa Tishby told Fox News Digital.Tishby, a New York Times bestselling author and Israel's former Special Envoy for Combating Antisemitism and Delegitimization, based in Los Angeles, described Passover as "the holiday of Jewish national liberation." This year, it begins on the evening of Monday, April 22. As detailed in the Book of Exodus, more than 3,000 years ago, the Hebrew ancestors were oppressed by the pharaohs of Egypt, leading to their liberation by Moses and the journey to the Promised Land of Israel.In the modern era, Jewish tradition instructs us to experience this suffering and redemption during the Seder meal, where we retell the Exodus story. However, the celebration of Passover in 2024 is overshadowed by the plight of hostages in Gaza, leading Tishby to emphasize the need for awareness and action in freeing them. She urged people to follow Moses' example and demand freedom for those in captivity, just as he demanded freedom for the Jewish people in Egypt.Tishby's passionate plea reflects the bitter reality faced by many this Passover, as they remember the suffering of their fellow Jews and seek liberation for those still held captive.
