In a few hours, I will be traveling home to celebrate Passover with my family, a holiday exalting freedom celebrated by Jews all over the world. In the wake of a recent trip to Jordan, where I had the opportunity to clearly examine the ramifications of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict up close, and Ehud Olmert’s ambiguous declaration that he is “open to talks with moderate Arab leaders,” allow me to share a few words about freedom at this time.
