In a recent video on White House Tv, President Donald Trump issued a message to the Jewish-American community and Jews worldwide, extending Passover greetings and reflecting on the holiday’s historical and religious significance.
“To our wonderful Jewish-American community and to Jews celebrating in Israel and around the world this week, I want to wish you a very happy Passover,” Trump said in a statement. He referenced the ancient story of liberation, noting, “Over 3,000 years ago, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob delivered the ancient Israelites out of slavery and brought them into the promised land.”
Trump drew parallels between the biblical narrative and contemporary times, adding, “It was an amazing period of time, just like today we have an amazing period of time.” He emphasized the role of faith in the journey, saying, “The journey started with faith in God’s word, and it ended with a miraculous march through the Red Sea and an astounding exodus out of Egypt.”
The statement reflects Trump’s longstanding practice of recognizing major religious holidays and engaging with faith-based communities, particularly the Jewish-American population, which has historically played a notable role in U.S. political and cultural life. Read_More…
