pie, assisted by the Sisterhood, will
begin the festivities, after a service
conducted by Rabbi Bettan, Of the
church, called the Seder service. hat
which follows will be the first OF the
feasting. which lasts throughout the
entire seven days OF the passover and
will be participated in by all the mem
bers of the congregation. The Jewish
feast Of passover falls on the fifteenth
day Of Nissan, corresponding this year
with Tuesday, Apr. IS. The celebration
begins on the evening OF April II with
shutdown. The manner of its observ.
ance was determined largely by the
biblical ordinances concerning this
feast. 1t Is to be observed for a per.
iod OF seven days. Those who cherish
customs that originated after Bible
times will keep the feast eight days.

post.biblical times the earnest desire

dishes that had been guarded from
contact with leaven and reserved only
for the passover season.
