As families gather around the Seder table this evening, I know that for many this year it will feel different.

Sending my warmest wishes to the Jewish community for Passover. I hope you draw strength from this very special festival.

Chag sameach.

A stunning installation in Westminster. 133 Seder places have been laid for the 133 remaining hostages. Pesach commemorates the journey of the Jews from slavery to freedom. This year, with 133 people held prisoner in Gaza, this ancient festival takes on a new horrid meaning.
