Nearly 170 people gathered at The Temple for the Atlanta Black-Jewish Coalition's Seder: "A Common Road to Freedom," re-living the Exodus and march toward Civil Rights.  The room was filled with the spirit of those  who have gone before us, who fought to liberate all of us from the tyranny of slavery and oppression.  As the very diverse crowd (Jewish and Christian, Black and White, children, teenagers, parents and grandparents) shared matzah, charoset, chicken soup and the rest of fixings for a traditional Seder meal, we discussed our own paths toward seeking justice and equality.  We sang, we shared, we ate, we experienced history together - another extraordinary AJC program.

The event took place at the Atlanta Community Food Bank, and included a tour of this amazing facility which distributes approximately twenty two million pounds of food to needy recipients annually (we contributed 200 pounds at this event alone).  Entitled "The Light We Shed:  Fulfilling the Mission or Purpose of our Faiths," this Fourth Annual meeting between AJC and the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship saw over one hundred participants, Jewish and Baptist, discuss their religion and the personal and communal philosophy it inspires in an effort to better understand "the other."  The highlight of the event were the moving and inspirational presentations delivered by Rabbi Alvin Sugarman and Dr. Rob Nash, focusing on their views of the role of the individual in fulfilling his or her "mission" on earth.
