The Holy Father, Pope Francis has sent a message to the Chief Rabbi in Rome, Doctor Riccardo di Segni, on the occasion of the celebration of Passover which will begin this coming Friday, April 22 and continue until Saturday, April 30.
To the Illustrious Doctor Riccardo di Segni
Chief Rabbi of Rome
Jewish Community of Rome - Major Temple
Lungotevere Cenci - 00186 Rome
Remembering with renewed gratitude our meeting on 17th January, when I was cordially welcomed by you and by the Jewish Community of the city in the Great Synagogue, I wish to express my most heartfelt wishes for the feast of Passover. It points out that the Almighty has released his beloved people from slavery and brought them to the Promised Land . May God also accompany you today with the abundance of his Blessings, protect your community and, in His mercy, bestow peace upon everyone. I ask you to pray for me, as I assure you of my prayers for you: may the Almighty allow us to be able to grow more and more in friendship.
