 Passover: Freedom for the Nation of Israel!
Passover
commemorates our freedom from slavery and the birth of the Jewish nation:
A healthy, liberating experience for both the body and the soul of the
People of Israel. Our ancient customs at the Seder and the special
foods we eat - tell the amazing story of our freedom. And they help us to
re-enact those precious moments of liberation, some 3300 years ago.
Marror (bitter
herbs) remind us of the harshness and bitterness of slavery. Matzoh, the
"poor man's bread" that we ate as slaves, transforms itself, during
the Seder, into the bread of redemption. The four cups of wine are drunk while
reclining like kings - a royal beverage celebrating our newly found
freedom. The Exodus experience is as alive today as it ever
was!
