Rivlin likens Israeli society to family at seder
“At the table of the Israeli seder,” says Rivlin, “there are four sons: secular, religious, ultra-Orthodox and Arab. And they are all smart, they all know to ask questions.”
The president is riffing on the Passover haggadah, which speaks of the four sons as symbols of four attitudes to life. The Passover seder is celebrated across the Jewish world this weekend.
