Do this:
Var='/etc/sysconfig/..'
bash script1.sh "$Var"
Then in script1.sh:
Var=$1
cat "$Var"
The quotes around "$Var" are required to support paths containing spaces.

Your variable assignment is wrong, it should be:
Var='/etc/sysconfig/..'
No spaces around =.
If you want to send in a environment variable for one script only then you can use:
Var='/etc/sysconfig/..' ./my_script.sh
And inside my_script.sh:
printf "%s\n" "$Var"
# Will print /etc/sysconfig/..
If you want to send arguments to my_script.sh do what @JohnZwinck suggested. What I suggested is only to change environment variable and shouldn't be abused to send/receive regular variables to a command.
