Rav Sharon Tzabari, the rabbi of Gaza Division, told Arutz Sheva
Wednesday that he strives to give soldiers serving in the Gaza area a
feeling of family this Pesach. While the Seder dinners are up to the
strictest Glatt and Mehadrin level of kashrut, they are intended
equally for soldiers who are not Torah observant: "We unite everyone
around the Seder table – like one united national family."
"For over a month, we have been working with all of the commanders in
the battalions in the region," he explained. "We reached all of the
most sensitive places with security details accompanying us, with the
purpose of reaching the Mehadrin Glatt level."
Rav Tzabari said that he believes that there will not be a single
soldier who fails to carry out the Pesach Seder in accordance with
Halakha. "Every soldier receives a personal Seder kit, which includes
grape juice, haroset and other Seder items – all inside a decorative
box that includes a special Hagaddah with illustrations, riddles and
exegesis."
The rabbi believes that the Seder will bring a feeling of unity to
the soldiers. "We want everyone to feel at home, and out of an
atmosphere of unity we will try to connect everyone to the mitzvah of
Pesach." (IsraelNationalNews © 2012 04/04/12)
