Eichmann is already under arrest in Israel and will shortly be placed on trial in Israel under the terms of the law for the trial of Nazis and their collaborators. In the cabinet meeting immediately preceding this announcement, Ben-Gurion’s ministers had expressed their astonishment and curiosity.

  • Passover Seder Plate Guide
    From The Shiksa in the Kitchen Recipe Archives http://www.theshiksa.com PASSOVER SEDER PLATE BLESSINGS Here is a brief explanation of the Seder plate blessings and their meaning. Share with your children as you decorate your Homemade Passover Seder Plate! Beitzah - Egg Blessing: The hard-boiled egg serves as a reminder of the “Festival Offering.” It is dipped in saltwater and eaten at the beginning of the Seder Meal. It symbolizes both the celebration of the festivals and the mourning of the loss of the Temple in Jerusalem. Its round shape also represents the cycle of life and things eventually returning to where they began – a hope that the Temple will one day be restored in Jerusalem. Maror - Bitter Herb Blessing: Usually made of romaine lettuce or endive leaves and ground horseradish, it is dipped in the charoset and eaten. The maror represents the “bitterness” and hard labor endured by the Jewish people while slaves in Egypt. It also represents the bitterness of the Exile. It serves as a reminder of the unhappiness that inspires us to improve our lives. Zeroah - Shank Bone: The shank bone, with most of the meat removed, is not eaten but instead serves as a reminder of the lamb, or young goat, that was offered to God in the Holy Temple on the night the Jewish people fled from Egypt. It symbolizes God’s love when “passing over” the houses of the Jews on the night of Exodus, when the Egyptian first born died. It represents the ability to exceed our limitations. Charoset – Mortar Blessing: The charoset, a paste-like mixture of fruit, nuts and wine, is a symbol of the mortar used by the Jewish slaves in the construction of the Pharaoh’s pyramids.

  • A Traditional Messianic Seder
    The PASSOVER HAGGADAH A Traditional Messianic Seder By Pastor Eric Michael Teitelman House of David Ministries Forward The Exodus from Egypt and the liberation of the Jewish people from slavery marked the birth of the nation of Israel, and is considered by the Jewish people to be the single most important event in their history. The delivery itself was both miraculous and divinely orchestrated entirely at His hand. The Lord had sent Moses to Pharaoh to deliver this message; “Let my people go, that they may hold a feast to Me in the wilderness” (Exodus 5:1, NKJV).1 Their subsequent liberation was for the sole purpose of serving God—including the sacrifice of animals that were considered sacred to the Egyptians. This request came with the possible repercussion of death. Therefore, the first Passover is considered one of divine faith, and is different from future Passovers which are those of remembrance. In the third month after the Exodus, the Lord established His Mosaic covenant with Israel; establishing their law, priesthood, calendar, and their holy convocations. And He purposed to fulfill His promise with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to deliver their descendants into the land of Canaan, and give it to them as an eternal inheritance.2 As such, the celebration of the Passover—commanded to be observed with the roasting of a Paschal Lamb, and eaten with unleavened bread and bitter herbs— was consecrated as an eternal ordinance of remembrance with the nation of Israel.3 And for more than three-thousand years, the Jewish people have been celebrating this occurrence each year in what is called a Seder, meaning “order” of the Passover.

Once We Were Slaves, Now We Are Free: Legal, Administrative, and Social Issues Raised by Passover Celebrations in Prison Aviva Orenstein* Abstract “Once we were slaves, now we are free” is a central line from the Jewish Passover Seder, a ritual meal in which participants retell the story of liberation from Pharaoh’s oppression. In prison, many Jewish inmates request access to a Seder and to kosher-for-Passover food for the eight-day holiday. Prisoners’ requests to celebrate Passover provide a rich example for exploring the Religious Land Use and Institutional Persons Act (RLUIPA) and raise a host of tough questions regarding cost, safety, equal treatment of prisoners, and establishment of religion.
