Dear Friends,

This week we prepare for Passover, the Jewish holiday that commemorates the oppression Jews faced as slaves in Egypt, and celebrates their joyous liberation. 

To set the Passover mood, JBS CEO Justin Pines sits with Rabbi Avi Weiss, the innovative and revolutionary activist rabbi, who has devoted his life and career to fighting for justice and freedom for Jews and all peoples.

(Tuesday 8:00pm).

Also a frontline warrior for Jewish freedom, Natan Sharansky is the featured speaker this week on the Fighting Antisemitism: The ISGAP Hour (Sunday 7:00pm).

These and many other classic programs this week set us in the mood for Pesach, including:

Also this week, beginning on April 19th, we commemorate the heroic Warsaw Ghetto Uprising of 1943, the phenomenal act of resistance to unspeakable horrors of the Holocaust, demonstrating Jewish will and determination to fight against all odds. See a commemoration ceremony held at Der Shteyn, the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising memorial stone at Riverside Park in New York City (Thursday 7:00pm). 

As we observe these remembrances and reflect on the bravery and resilience of the Jewish people, we think of our brothers and sisters in Israel. We stand in solidarity with their struggle. And we pray for the safety and liberation of over 130 hostages still being held by Hamas.
