Passover, Easter and Ramadan — will not be held as usual this year, — Ronald S. Lauder

The main holidays of Jews, Christians and Muslims — Passover, Easter and Ramadan — will not be held as usual this year. Instead of family feasts and congratulations to their neighbors, people will have to celebrate these holidays in a narrow circle.

“Synagogues are closed. There will be no Seders and old people will stay alone. But we will get through this. This is bringing us all together — from the most secular to the most orthodox and we are seeing we are becoming one people and that is what this virus is doing”, — said the President of the World Jewish Congress Ronald Lauder.

According to Ronald Lauder, representatives of absolutely all religions are facing the same problems: “Christians have their churches closed and they can’t have their tradition — Easter Sunday meal. And our friends — the Moslem friends, at the end of April is Ramadan. And they can’t have a dinner at night with their family. What we’ve seen is all religions are coming together.”

Ronald Lauder hopes that the same problems will bring together representatives of different religions in order to overcome this difficult stage in the life of all mankind: “All are having the same problem. It’s my hope that one day all religions will come as one and stop being enemies and be friends”.
