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!

Roman soldiers in Judea flavored up matzah with olive oil, tomato sauce and cheese

Not with tomato sauce. Tomatoes didn't reach the Old World till around 1500.

Are you sure thats how Pizza started?
We already have to our credit Gefilte Fish, Kneidlech, Matzoh, Kugel, Bagles, and the list goes on and on, I don't think that we have to add something. :) :)

I didn't know this (from Wikipedia):

"Before the holiday begins, observant Jews will remove and discard all food with leavening (called chametz) from
their households. Although many do a thorough job, so that not even a crumb remains, the law only requires the elimination of olive-sized quantities of leavening from one's possesion. There is a custom to conduct a formal search for overlooked leavening, on the evening prior to the start of the holiday. This tradition is called bedikat chametz. Throughout the holiday, they will eat no leavened food, replacing breads, pastas, and cakes with matzoh and other specially prepared foods.

Passover is a family holiday and a happy one. The first and seventh days are observed as full holidays, as are the second and eighth days for Diaspora Jews."

Happy and Blessed Passover to our Jewish friends.
After reading the above I wonder what our local Jewish bakery does during these holy days? Before Atkins we used to go there all the time for the best onion rolls.

My bad. Of course you're right. However they still had olive oil, cheese and other stuff to flavor up the matzah.

Me too!! I've always wanted to just respectfully observe, but hey, I'd eat too...if they let me!

I just never knew anyone to ask and no one has ever asked me.

So the name of G-d is not spelled out anywhere in their Old Testaments?

That's right, the Hebrew text uses an abbreviation (which Gentiles have converted into "Jehovah") which is pronounced as "Adonoi" (same root as "Adonis" and for modern Hebrew "sir")or simply refers to the "Lord" in various forms.

In common speech, orthodox Jews will refer to "The Name".

My favorite is when He first addresses Moses: "I Am that Am."

To which I always interject, "He's Popeye the sailorman. Toot toot!" And nobody ever laughs 'round the family Seder table.

Jewish Freepers... to bad none of them are American.

I presume you consider Jewish and American mutually exclusive?

I want to take this moment to offer my (admittedly awkward) best wishes to all our Jewish Freeper friends.

(sigh) I knew it couldn't last. My dear man, I am just as American as George Washington and apple pie, as are most of us. Care to explain your cryptic remark? If we are not American, than just where do we come from? Since you seem to have some inside knowledge.

Come, astonish me.
