"The Jewish people celebrate Passover as a commemoration of their liberation over 3,300 years ago" [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passover]

I asked and got an answer and once again you are misunderstanding what they do. They are participating in a Seder meal. They are commemorating, as in remembering the freedom given them. Even if subsequently conquered and oppressed and hunted, the Jew never ceases to see himself inherently as a free man thus they participate in the freedom they believe they have. It is NOT as if they are participating in the original exodus. They only relive the implanted awareness of freedom. They said "As the Baal Shem Tov brilliantly put it – you are where your will is, this means you are essentially free. If you crave freedom, you are indeed free."

So once again the Catholics twist the words to mean something different.

You are wrong, the Jewish people believe that they are participating the actual event of the original Passover.
