FEAST OF SEVEN DAYS
Observance Of Season by the
Orthodox Jews.
R ACI A L TRADITIONS
FAST OF THE FIRST BORN THE
EVE OF PASSOVER.
Males Attend Services at Synagogue
Deiverance From Egypt
Commemorated.

Orthodox Jews the world over are now
celebrating the seven days feast of Pass
over. At sunset Wednesday last the feast
began and until sunset Wednesday next the
ancient traditions of the Hebrew race will
be observed. This is one of the most impor-
tant national feasts in the Hebrew calen-
dar, commemorating the deliverance of the
children of Israel from the Egyptian bond
age. and has been observed even under the
most adverse circumstances down to the
present day. 1t emphasizes the first known
struggle of any people for liberty.
For days preceding the festival the house
undergoes at the hands of the Hebrew
housewife thorough scrubbing and clean
ing from top to bottom, no leaven being
permitted in the house. No utensil that has
been employed with leaven food is used
during Passover week. On the morning of
the eve of the festival the master of the
house goes from room to room and per-
forms the ceremony of Byur ChOmetZ, re-
moving the ChometZ or leaVen. The ma
iron of the house, after all leaven food and
utensils have been removed, leaves in GER
tain places some bread crumbs, or leaven
food, which the master, with certain for
mula, gathers up in spoon as a sign that
the house has been properly prepared.
These crumbs are subsequently consumed
by fire. No one is permitted to partake of
bread or other leaVen substance or liquid
after 10 o'clock in the morning preceding
the feast, until the evening ceremony.
Every first-born Hebrew over thirteen
years of age fasts on the eve of the Pass
over called the Feast of the First Born. the
fast meaning a total abstinence from food,
in commemoration of the Staying of the
first born in Egypt among the Egyptians
and the escape from this plague by the IS
raelites through the kindness of their God.
The males attend the services of the syna-
gogue alone in their holy attire the first

THE PUBLIC "SEDER."

Passover, while the mistress of the house
remains at nome and prepares the table for
the ''Seder.' The table is first covered
with a clean white cloth, upon which is
placed at the head of the table, immedi-
ately in front of him who is about to con-
duct the services, a dish containing three
matZoth (unleavened cakes) folded in a
napkin, representing three religious orders
priests. Levtes and Israelites-aso
roasted shank bone, memorial of the pas
chal lamb; roasted egg, symbolic of the
daily burnt Offering. and a piece Of NOR
mour horse radish or any bitter herb, rep
resentng the bitterness of the Egyptian
servitude; also some parsley, or green, in
dicative of the spring season of the year
and the resurrection of nature.
Symbolic Food.
On the table there is also some salt water
and a peculiar dish called charoses. which
is composed of chopped almonds and APP
pies mixed with little wine, and this is
symbolic of the mortar used by the ancient
Israelites while erecting the great store
houses for the Egyptians, their masters.
Each person partakes during the evening
of four glasses of wine, which is symbolic
action for the four verses of Scripture, Il
have brought you out Il have redeemed
you" Il have taken YOU and I have de-
livered you"
Ordinarily the master of the house is seat
ed a the head of the table upon a couch.
sometimes reclining upon pillows or cush-
ions, because in Passover week every jew
regards himself as not only free man. but
great any sovereign. The orthodox
robes in which he is usually clad are called
the kittel or white sargnes which is also
the shroud in which he is robed at his
death.
Around the table is seated the family,
young and old, and also all the Jewish SER
wants in the household, no matter how me-
NAL their position. All are alike entitled
to the festive board This is meant to
teach the lesson of equality in its most
practical form.
The Seder, or the order of service, COM
mences with the usual sanctification of the
wine, in which God is thanked for the
blessings and pleasures of life and for His
having redeemed the Israelites from Egypt.
Then, all rising, each person takes hold of
and the master repeats:
This is the bread of affiiCtion which our
fathers ate in Egypt. All that are hungry
let them come and eat. Next year we
hope all Hebrews will be free the world
over"
sive readings recite the story of the delv-
erance from Egypt and tell why the Pass
over is celebra ted. Then all read in unison
the following from the order of service:
The Deliverance From Egypt.
ION this holy evening we remember with
sincere interest the early and later history
of Israel, and whatever good or i'll has in
the course of time happened to our fathers
or ourselves is conjured up in our memories
this sacred night, on which more than three
thousand years ago Israel entered the glori-
Gus service of God from the degrading serv~
ice of man. Yea, we partake of that won
