Dr. Beno Rothenberg, director of the Institute of Archaeo-Metallurgy, University College London, has written many books including
An Archeaological PassoverHaggadah. In an attempt to prove that the Hebrews were enslaved in Egypt and traveled to Israel as the Bible says, Dr. Rothenberg offers numerous pieces of evidence, such as this wall painting from the tomb of Rekmire 15th Century B.C.E. that purports to show Semitic people at work. Though it was not his intention, the evidence that he and other scholars present in our article not only make a compelling case for the existence of a Hebrew presence in Egypt, it also makes a strong prima facie case in favor of the proposition that these Hebrews were black people.

Chief Rabbi Levi Ben Levy
Yarzeit April 28, 2008
Nine years ago Chief Rabbi Levy passed away a day after the Feast of Unleavened Bread had concluded. Despite our grief, we knew that God
had been merciful by allowing him to celebrate the entire Passover season. As I look at this photograph of him conducting a massive Seder in the 1970s with my brother and I reciting the
ceremonial questions, I realize why Passover was so special to him and to us. When we light our Yarzeit candles on the anniversary of his death, let us remember and give thanks to the
Creator for sending leaders like him to lead us through the wilderness.

observe this day throughout your generations as
an ordinance for ever."
