Passover

Here I am in Florida with my wife and her family, all part of a kosher for passover group. I look around and see the elderly, most of them Holocaust survivors, wounded souls, impossible to ever be 'normal' after what has happened to them. And they still pray to an invisible, silent God, an entity that has watched as 250 generations of Jews have been slaughtered, tortured, humiliated,despised,villified, add whatever negatives you can think of. And yet they, the Jews, continue, we exist while all the other ancient peoples have left the stage. I am an atheist, a religious Jewish atheist. Try and figure that one out. If God exists and I ever meet Him(Her), I will have the audacity and indignation to interview Him as regards His absence in Auschwitz and Treblinka and for that matter, Darfur and Sudan. I wonder why He gave oil to the Arabs and sand to his Chosen.
