Pesach is a time of family connection. Children ask. Parents answer. Fathers teach their children. The attached clip is chilling. It is also incongruous. Pesach is a time of malchus, of royalty. Fathers are seated like kings, dressed in their Yom tov best, surrounded by their children. Where is the father in the clip? Who will the children turn to with their questions? This year they will add a fifth question to their “mah nishtana”. They will ask “where is our tatte?”

As these children grapple with their questions, their father sits alone in a morbid prison cell. Not a very pleasant place to spend a Yom tov. He too has questions. What will he eat this Pesach? How will he procure matzos and all the other Pesach staples? How long until he will be reunited with his family?

Dror steps in to answer these questions. Dror is there to fill the empty spot at that seder table. They provide stability and support to families broken by their plight. When a father is torn from his family and imprisoned, Dror is there instead.

Dror is there for the prisoner as well. They help him greet the Yom Tov with respect. They arrange Pesach food and special privileges for the prisoners. They teach them to hope and pray for a better tomorrow.

Help turn those worried looks to smiles of relief. Help unite Jewish families. Bridge the gap between the seder table and the prison cell. Join Dror by contributing to this worthy cause.
