To all my Jewish brethren, who are by now applying hand lotion to hands rubbed raw cleaning for Passover, I convey my sincerest wishes for a happy and kosher Passover!
Gentile here, but happy Passover anyway. 🙂
Happy Passover !!!
Happy Passover!!!!
Happy Passover!!!!
Ah koshern un freilichen Pesach!
Grafted branch wishing you a festive and reflective Pesach.
Baruch atah Adonai...
Best wishes my friend. It is indeed Happy Passover time.
Thank you, and happy Easter to my Christian friends.
That reminds me of the time my Uncle Morty was knighted by the Queen of England.
Morty was a simple tailor, but always made suits for the English royalty and various important people. During WWII, Italian fabric was obviously not available, so he had to make do, reusing bits of this, bits of that.
He sewed by candlelight down in the basement during the Blitz.
He managed to make the King and even Winston Churchill look great for various public addresses.
In honor of his service during the War, Queen Elizabeth decided to knight him.
Well, Morty went to the castle at the right time, and felt like a complete fish out of water. Fancy people everywhere. They made him memorize saying some line in Latin (a language he most certainly did not speak) about G-d saving the Queen and England and told him when to say it.
So the time came, and Morty waited in line to approach the Queen, who tapped each knight on the shoulder with a sword and said the line in Latin.
Time came for Morty to be knighted. He got down on his knee. She tapped his shoulder with the sword — it was time for him to say his line.
And he forgot.
In a panic, he said the only non-English he could speak — “Barukh ata Adonai Eloheinu, melekh ha’olam, asher kid’shanu b’mitzvotav v’tzivanu al achilat matzah.”
Bemused, the Queen, tapped Morty’s shoulder with the other sword and said “Why is this Knight not like all the other knights?”
Happy Passover
Great family story! I had to look that up and see is the blessing of the matzoh LOL!!!!!!! Blessings to you and yours this Passover.
Chag kasher vesameach! (Kosher & Happy Passover!)
Happy Passover! When my parents were together & my father was alive I remember helping my mother cook.
Wonderful!
Ditto, and ditto!
For clarity, it’s a complete fiction.
It’s an old jokes-for-Jews joke.
“Why is this night” being one of the three questions at Passover.
Ha ha ha aaaaa!! Even funnier!! Thanks so much!
Very funny. I loved it!
A gentile, I am not sure what the hand washing is all about, but assume it is not replicating the activity of Pontius Pilate.
