One Lesson to be learnt today from the Passover 1. The importance of optimism and faith – as slaves the Jews had lost all hope. Moses was able to rekindle their faith in God ( trusting and believing in something even though you can’t prove it) and optimism no difficulty is unsurmountable-slaves could become freemen. The oppressed could break the shackles of their captivity. Anything is possible, if only we dare to dream the impossible dream.
