    Message on the Observance of Passover, 1995
    April 10, 1995

        Warm greetings to all who are observing Passover.
        A celebration of both liberation and spring, Passover is a special
    opportunity to give thanks for the blessings of freedom and to remember
    the faith that sustains us in our bleakest hours. During this holiday,
    millions of Jews around the world draw inspiration from the example of
    the Israelites, who preserved their beliefs, their culture, and their
    dignity throughout the brutal winter of slavery. When the warm spring of
    freedom finally came, the Jewish people rebuilt their community and
    thrived, ultimately infusing every corner of the earth with a powerful
    commitment to faith and family.
        This year, let the Passover holiday remind us of the hope that can
    sustain us as a people. Hillary joins me in extending best wishes to all
    for a meaningful Passover.

                                                                Bill Clinton
