Show HILL TOP TIMES Page 12 April 21. 1978 Passover marks a momentous occasion in Jewish history the exodus of the Israelites from bondage in Egypt. The Passover celebration begins on the 15th day of the month of Nisan .in the Jewish calendar April 22 this year. On the first night of Passover, a festal Seder meal is held. During the Seder, four cups of wine are drunk at various intervals marking the solemn meaning of the ceremony, and a fifth cup is set aside for the prophet Elijah. The first cup, representing sanctification (Kiddush), is taken in conjunction with a benediction that stresses the holiness of the holiday. This is followed by a special ceremony which includes the cleansing of hands and the eating of vegetables dipped in vinegar and salt water. Afterwards, the Haggadah, which recounts the story of the exodus, is recited by the family. The youngest child then asks four questions: why is matzoth (unleavened bread) eaten; why is the food dipped twice; why are bitter herbs eaten before the meal; why is the meal taken in special comfort? The father answers: Matzoth is eaten because our ancestors, fleeing from Egypt, had no time to bake bread with leavening; parsley is dipped in both salt water and sweet charoset to remind us of the tears our ancestors shed and to signify the joy of freedom; we eat bitter herbs to remind us of the bitterness of slavery; and we lean on cushions to recall the days of slavery when our ancestors had to eat while standing or sitting on hard ground. After this ceremony, the second cup of wine is blessed, the i ddUlldl matzoth broken, another benediction said, and the meal begun. Bitter herbs, called Maron, are mixed with crushed fruit and wine. The bitter mixture represents the belief that freedom and spiritual progress are achieved through sacrifice and suffering. The third cup of wine is one of thanksgiving, and the fourth cup, concluding the Seder, acknowledges God's beneficent providence. The rituals and ceremonies of the Passover Festival are observed by Jews throughout the world. In reliving the experiences of the past, the participants at Passover reconfirm their commitments to the principles of human dignity and personal freedom.
