A HAPPY PASSOVER TO ALL FELLOW JEWISH FREEPERS,( Peasach starts on Saturday night)

Posted on 04/21/2005 11:23:05 AM PDT by yoely

As you make yourself ready to celebrate the great holiday of Passover, And reminding yourself to thank G-D for the great miracles and deeds he did to us back then, let me join in by wishing you a real happy holiday, and may you have only happiness therefore after. And while celebrating the past, lets pray for the future, that Hashem should do us only good and relive us from the “Paroes” of today, who are here to remind us that anti-Semites was always here and they all had the same ending!

Enjoy your Matzos and Kneidlech, (and don’t make a fuss of the Morer, it’s a part of life…) and enjoy the great holiday G-D has given us!

SHABBAT SHALOM & PESACH BLESSINGS!

To ALL of my Jewish and Messianic Jewish Brothers and Sisters and ALL who Celebrate our LORD'S Appointed Times:

Hag Sameach Pesach to ALL!

May The HOLY ONE of ISRAEL Bless You and Your Households during these HOLY Days, may He give to You His Shalom.

Let us remember that FREEDOM is Not FREE, it's cost cannot be measured.

Please Pray for our US Troops all over the World, especially for those who are in harms way.

Please Pray for our Israeli Defense Forces who are always in harms way protecting Israel and our Jewish people.

May we be able to come to our Pesach tables with pure hearts and clean hands in Worship and Gratitude for ALL that HaShem has done for us and continues to do, for HE alone has saved us, sustained us and brought us to this season.

With Great JOY may we be able to say...Lashanah haba'ah bi Yerushalayim!

NEXT YEAR IN JERUSALEM!

Amen ~ and ~ Amen.

Credit goes the residents on Naples in the early 1500s, it's got nothing to do with matzo.

What a wonderful picture, Mike. It has a special meaning for me.

Every day now, I've started praying for a daily special annointing of the Blood of Jesus for each of my family members and friends.

I also ask the Holy Spirit to surround us all with "bubbles" of Angels.

As part of the prayer, I tell Satan that anything, demons or evils, he can throw at us will just bounce off the Blood of Jesus and be further repelled by the Holy Spirit and the Guard of Angels. All in the name of Jesus Christ and by the Power of His Blood.

Then I thank God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit and the guarding Angels for keeping us safe.

P.S. I haven't advanced to praying for all of my enemies though. Forgiveness just hasn't become a part of me yet. But I'm working on it.

Remember when Steve was instrumental in getting rid of my hatred of the Japanese that I'd harbored since I was a child during WW II? If I can forgive THEM, I guess I can forgive everybody else. But it's hard.

Yes, we do share a common bond...we just had our ten-year rememberance a couple of days ago. I remember I wanted to help (I'm an RN) but couldn't, I was getting near my due date with my oldest son.

Heh! I can understand your daughter's curiousity...the weather here is truly awesome to observe. Last year I was trying to get home with a storm coming, managed to pull into a parking lot and was just getting out of the truck to go inside a building when the roof from the house across the street blew off, flew across the parking lot and whizzed right past me! I jumped back in the truck and struggled to get the door shut and got all hunched down in the seat.

It was a wind shear, not a tornado. It blew the door off the building I was trying to get in to!

I shook for an hour after that!

We have storm shelters here, we call them "fraidy holes", as in "I'm afraid, I'm going underground". Even the weather guys on the news call them fraidy holes! LOL I don't have one, but my neighbor does and it's pretty well open to anyone who needs one.

The F5 tornado that hit the OKC area a few years back was so strong that it scoured the pavement off the streets. My husband helped with the cleanup from that and it was so dreadful that he couldn't speak of it without getting upset.

Just incredible.

After the OKC bombing and after that tornado, I was pretty well convinced that the people of Oklahoma are the best on earth. I really love living here. Would like to visit NYC and other places in the world, but Oklahoma is home.

(And that's saying a lot, because I grew up in Texas!)

I started composing a reply yesterday -- I think I didn't post for fear that others wouldn't be interested -- I was surprised that Passover came so far after Easter....if I understand correctly the distance shall tend to grow farther apart after centuries...but the Orthodox Easter is May 1 this year.

I did find some good websites on the Hebrew Calendar though. If my calculations are correct the average Hebrew month is 29.53059414 days, as opposed to the actual lunar month of 29.53058796 days. That amounts to one day's difference every 162,000 years.

Although it looks that the Hebrew year is 365.2468222 days, as opposed to the Gregorian 365.2425 days, meaning one day's difference every 231 years -- I guess that could be a problem in several centuries.

But I don't mean to spoil anyone's Passover -- Shalom.

From what I gather, the reform Jews anyway, like to have the goyim in for the feast, if they're friends. Not that you eat that much. It's mostly a drinking game. Just kidding, my Jewish Brothers & Sisters! It is so much more!

Hey! Pharoaoh! Let My People Gooooo!!!

The Hebrew month is a lunar month, which means that a 12-month year is shorter than the solar year of 365 days. To compensate for that, every so often the Hebrew calendar will include a "leap month" which is an extra month before Passover.

This year included a "leap month" and therefore Easter coincided with Purim, which occurs a month before Passover.

I don't know how the Easter dates are calculated.

Notice he/she/it didn't come back to explain the comment? Must still be upset at the Rabbi who puched the Nazi.

You nailed it. The hate festers and consumes their soul.

Wow! What an experience...and you say that was not a tornado, but a windshear??? Goodness! My daughter is eight and watches Storm Stories every night..I get a kick out of it because I don't know many eight year old girls that are that into bad weather, but it's better than "Fairy Odd Parents" or some of the other junk kids watch.

Most of the folks I've met from Oklahoma (ok, the song is in my head now "Oklahoma where the wind comes whipping down the plain")and Texas have been very fine people; one day I will visit both states and go to Galveston, to see the Memorial to the thousands of peole who died in the 1900 Hurricane.

I remember watching the storm story about the F5 and reading about it. Some people were debating on whether there could be an F6 based on that storm. Horrific.

Can't wait to tell my Emily about the "fraidy holes" though. She'll get such a kick out of it.

Take care, and blessings upon you and yours

You may be right to a degree. But the Torah does expressly command us to be "happy" on our Holidays.

Thank you for your kind wish.

No, I don't celebrate Passover in the same way you do. I'm an old Church of the Brethren kind of celebrator. ;)

When I was a child in NYC our local Jewish bakery closed the week of Passover.
