Cowardly Court. I am in Jerusalem this year, and I wanted some lamb dammit. An afikomen cookie just ain't the Pesach.

It is amazing how Israel denies religious freedom to Jews just to appease the Arabs.

Btw, just so everyone here knows (of course, watch me still get 20 pings ignoring this), the Pesach "sacrifice" was eaten. It was not burned or wasted. Unless you are an uber-vegetarian, there is nothing cruel in killing an animal for food. In effect, the Pesach sacrifice resembled a great communal BBQ -- all Israel, including the poor and destitute, getting a portion of lamb to eat to fulfill their obligation.

It also was NOT a sin-offering, and had nothing to do with redeeming from sin. It was given (and eaten) in historical remembrance of the Exodus from Egypt.

It’s amazing that this is more and more the norm throughout the world, America included to the detriment of Christians.
