Through us to rely on two different types of memories: an oral history of our ancestor’s experiences, communal and individual. we transmit the meaning of their struggle and pass their narrative through the generations. The Jewish collective memory is the history of our Doing so allows modern Jews to maintain people: The Exodus from Egypt, the revelation at memories of events that we have not ourselves Mount Sinai, the settling of the Land of Israel, and experienced.

  • Daf Ditty Pesachim 78: Korban Pesach Today (?)
    Daf Ditty Pesachim 78: Korban Pesach today (?) Three girls in Israel were detained by the Israeli Police (2018). The girls are activists of the “Return to the Mount” (Chozrim Lahar) movement. Why were they detained? They had posted Arabic signs in the Muslim Quarter calling upon Muslims to leave the Temple Mount area until Friday night, in order to allow Jews to bring the Korban Pesach. This is the fourth time that activists of the movement will come to the Old City on Erev Pesach with goats that they plan to bring as the Korban Pesach. There is also an organization called the Temple Institute that actively is trying to bring back the Korban Pesach. It is, of course, very controversial and the issues lie at the heart of one of the most fascinating halachic debates in the past two centuries. 1 The previous mishnah was concerned with the offering of the paschal lamb when the people who were to slaughter it and/or eat it were in a state of ritual impurity. Our present mishnah is concerned with a paschal lamb which itself becomes ritually impure. Such a lamb may not be eaten. (However, we learned incidentally in our study of 5:3 that the blood that gushed from the lamb's throat at the moment of slaughter was collected in a bowl by an attendant priest and passed down the line so that it could be sprinkled on the altar). Our mishnah states that if the carcass became ritually defiled, even if the internal organs that were to be burned on the altar were intact and usable the animal was an invalid sacrifice, it could not be served at the Seder and the blood should not be sprinkled.

  • How Is Sukkot Celebrated?
    Harvest Festivals Harvest Festivals are a time when people give thanks for the food they receive. They are held all over the world. • In Bali, the Rice Harvest Festival is held in May and June each year. • The Chinese Moon Festival celebrates harvest. Special mooncakes are made. • Yams are an important food in Ghana and they celebrate the Yam Festival in August or September. • In Italy, a priest will say a special prayer for olive oil that has been made after the olive plants have been harvested. Today, we are going to learn about Sukkot, the Jewish Harvest Festival. What Is Sukkot? ‘Sukkah’ is a Hebrew word for a booth or a tabernacle, which is an old-fashioned word for a tent. ‘Sukkot’ is the plural of sukkah. Sukkot is the festival of booths or tabernacles. Sukkot is celebrated during the autumn. It follows on from two other Jewish festivals, Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. It lasts for seven days. What Is Sukkot? During Sukkot, Jewish people remember the time after God freed them from slavery in Egypt. After they left Egypt, the Jewish people wandered in the desert for forty years, trying to find a place to settle. Along the way, they built temporary homes out of dry palms and branches to live in. How Is Sukkot Celebrated? Straight after Yom Kippur (5 days before Sukkot), Jewish people start to build a sukkah. A sukkah must have at least three walls. Walls can be made out of anything (wood, canvas, brick, metal or stone are commonly used). The roof of the sukkah must be something found from the ground, such as plants, grasses or branches.
