Passover is a week-long festival, usually For many Jews, Passover is the most falling somewhere in March or April. (The important of all Jewish holidays.

Passover’s popularity is partly because it’s the holiday in which we retell the foundational story of Jewish history, the Exodus from The Seder: Egypt. If you’re familiar with the Exodus The Ritual Passover Meal story, the holiday is named for the part of The most well-known thing that Jewish the story in which God is getting ready to people do during Passover is to gather smite the Egyptians with the tenth and final together for a ceremonial festive meal called plague.

  • From Purim to Pesach and Back
    RABBI’S MESSAGE From Purim to Pesach and Back The Hebrew calendar gives us a double blessing in the months of Adar and Nissan, with the holidays of Purim and Passover coming back-to-back. These celebrations are very different from each other, and yet the progression of one to the other on the calendar can give interesting ideas to explore. Both deal with bitter enemies and the possibility of genocidal extinction. The Purim villain, Haman, manipulates the Persian king into decreeing legalized murder of the Jewish people. Haman’s plan fails and the Jews retaliate. The Passover villain, Pharaoh, also threatens extinction by murdering Jewish baby boys at birth. This plan also fails, and the Israelites are redeemed by G-D’s “mighty hand and outstretched arm” to escape into the wilderness and eventually the Promised Land. From the 15th of Adar to the 15th of Nissan, the score is: Jews 2, Evil 0. Yes, both Purim and Pesach fulfill the traditional theme about Jewish holidays: “They tried to kill us. We survived. Let’s eat.” The survival elements and food are certainly part of our contemporary celebrations for both holidays. The threats occur differently, and so do our observances. While Passover precedes Purim chronologically, Purim precedes Passover on the calendar. I’ve often considered the various ways these two springtime festivals differ as ways to look at the growth of our people. In the Book of Esther, the name of God is not mentioned. In the traditional Passover Haggadah, the name of Moses is not mentioned. We are taught that Moses’ name was left out of the Haggadah for fear of deifying Moses.

  • Passover Haggadah
    PASSOVER HAGGADAH Compiled from various sources by Rabbi Ron Stern and Cantor Emma Lutz I love all sorts of stories but I have a particular fondness for short stories. It’s an extraordinary challenge: telling a compelling narrative in an economical way with a beginning, middle, and end that makes you think and even inspires you to act in certain ways. Passover is the quintessential Jewish storytelling time. Embedded in the Haggadah is the master narrative of our People. And whatever version you use—whether an old, stained Maxwell House edition or even one you’ve designed yourself—the essential message can be summed up quite succinctly: “We were slaves to Pharaoh in Egypt. God freed us for a purpose.” This is our core story. Our empathy comes from our experience of having been strangers in a strange land. We were oppressed and so we have a special concern for the most vulnerable. And then we experienced the fulfilment of our collective dream: we were redeemed from bondage, we went forth a free people. But the story doesn’t end there, on the other side of the sea. We travel as a people to Sinai where the purpose of our freedom is revealed. Our job is to bring redemption to the world. It’s the greatest story ever told and it’s a great mitzvah—a deep and holy obligation— to re-tell it every year, to be inspired by it so that we can live its message. Chag Sameach.

  • Literacy in Medieval Jewish Culture1
    Portrayals of Women with Books: Female (Il)literacy in Medieval Jewish Culture1 Katrin Kogman-Appel Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Beer Sheva The thirteenth century saw a new type of Hebrew book, the Passover haggadah (pl. haggadot). Bound together with the general prayer book in the earlier Middle Ages, the haggadah emerged as a separate, independent volume around that time.2 Once the haggadah was born as an individual book, a considerable number of illustrated specimens were created, of which several have come down to us. Dated to the period from approximately 1280 to 1500, these books were produced in various regions of the Iberian peninsula and southern France (Sepharad), the German lands (Ashkenaz), France, and northern Italy. Almost none of these manuscripts contain a colophon, and in most cases it is not known who commissioned them. No illustrated haggadah from the Islamic realm exists, since there the decoration of books normally followed the norms of Islamic culture, where sacred books received only ornamental embellishments. The haggadah is usually a small, thin, handy volume and contains the liturgical text to be recited during the seder, the privately held family ceremony taking place at the eve of Passover. The central theme of the holiday is the retelling of the story of Israel’s departure from Egypt; the precept is to teach it to one’s offspring.3 The haggadah contains the text to fulfill this precept. Hence this is not simply a collection of prayers to accompany a ritual meal; rather, using the 1 book and reading its entire text is the essence of the Passover holiday.
