HUNTSVILLE, Alabama – Free Americans gathered near the walls and razor wire fences of the Madison County, Alabama, Jail at sundown on Tuesday, March 26, 2013, to consider the symbolism of enslavement in Egypt in the centuries of Jewish thought that has shaped modern Haggadahs, the guides for the Passover service.
Rabbi Elizabeth Bahar, rabbi of Temple B'nai Sholom in Huntsville, led readings to begin her congregation's communal celebration of Passover on the second night of the weeklong festival.
