es were prohibited with the fall of
the second Temple as sacrifices
had only been allowed in the Tenn
pie. However, it was explained,
the Samaritans, the oldest Jewish
sect in existence, observe Pesach
as it was adhered to 1000 years
ago at the time Of the first Tenn
pie. And the Falashas, the black
Jews of Abyssinia, still offer a
sheep as a sacrifice to God on
Seder Night.
Grandfather told us that the
Jews of the Middle Ages observed
the festival of the deliverance in
approximately the same manner
as we do today. And as usual we
insisted that he tell us again, as
he had every year, how the Jews
of the different European coun-
tries celebrate the seder.

crees that men must live as bro
theirs -. Against this new inter-
probation how appalling a sacrifice
and feast to bride our God for
a better year and to appease his
anger against the sins of the last
year!
Away, then, festival of supersti-
buttons! -. The Spring of the
year shall now signify freedom
and deliverance -. Even as all
nature is freed from the hardship
of winter, so is this holiday a
symbol of a rebirth of liberty. Pc
sach has a national significance.
It now means Passover, when the
angel of death passed over the
house of the Hebrews to smite the
first born of the Egyptians. The
unleavened bread is reminder
that we left Egypt in such haste
that time was lacking to complete
the baking of bread The bitter
herbs, which had been part of
the ancient midnight feast, stand
for the tears we shed in the days
of our slavery. And the haroses
(grated apple with cinnamon) is a
symbol of the mortar tn a we
mixed for the bricks for the Egyp-
ftians.
A holiday tn a t signifies the
striving of people for national
freedom should in truth be a ma
tional holiday. This was decreed
in the time of Josiah, King of Ju-
dab, Grandfather told us. Hereto
fore, sacrifices had been offered
by each family in the High plac-
es" throughout the country, but
now offerings were allowed only
in the Temple in Jerusalem.
I remember when Grandfather
told us about the multitude of
pilgrims who would come from all
over the known world to offer
prayer in the Holy City. Arnold
had declared that it must have
been like the worlds fair of the
ancients. Grandfather laughed and
said it probably had been, for
Jews came not only to worship
but to trade as well. The mer-
chants came with their wares from
Persia, Greece and Rome, and the
thoroughfares were crowded with
booths that offered the marketer
everything from golden ornaments
to raisins for the feast.
Grandfather also explained that
we borrowed many customs from
the people with whom we came
in contact. For instance, he said.
the custom of reclining at the Sc
der was copied from the Romans
who always reposed at feast.
1t was Reba, I believe. who in
quired why we do not offer a sac
fetal lamb to God today. Grand
father informed her that sacrific-

The first a story to please our
fancy = the second: the story
brought to the stark reality of
life and it's higher significance.
Twenty days to Passover! AL
ready the house has a different
aspect. Arnold always said that he
could smell Pesach around the
corner ... It is going to be nice
seeing Arnold again -. Yes, and
Reba, too -. Then, of course,
Grandfather and Grandmother Ru-
bins will be here from Concord. :.
It will be good to be together
again. Were it not for the seder
I believe we never would arrange
a family reunion. Truly, Passover
is a holiday that belongs to the
family.
Wasn't it Grandfather Rubins
who told us last year at the seder
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1941-03-21

that Pesach was primarily a fam
lily festival? It has it's origin prob
ably centuries back in prehistoric
times when the Jews were nomads
and came to sojourn in the land
of Canaan.
Let me see-are there enough
Hagaddahs -. Here is Grand
fathers :. He told us that it be-
longed to his grandfather. How
yellow the pages are!
Thing of it -. This little Ha-
gaddah, this book of prayers and
stories and song, which I now hold
in my hand, is my bond over thou
sands of years with a shepherd
who has set his sheep to Craze in
the fields of the Canaanites.
It binds me, settled comfortably
here in my home on the outskirts
of a modern metropolis aglow with
thousands of incadescent lights,
and my forefathers resting for
the night with their households
arranged in a tent and only the
moon for light :. 1t is Spring,
even as it is now, and the shep-
herd has killed sheep as sacri-
flee to his God -. He had daubed
the blood of the animal on the
doorposts Of his house to ward off
the evil spirits, and he has settled
himself to devour the sheep with
out breaking single bone before
daybreak- so goes the cere-
mony...
In Palestine this observance has
its counterpart in another festival
held by the tillers of the soil -.
1t is the festival Of the unleavened
bread -. This is an event asso-
ciated with the grain harvest,
when the peasant offers up his
choicest grain to appease God u.
All old bread (Chomets) is cleaned
out of his house and he partakes
of unleavened bread as a safe
guard against lean year -.
These two festivals slowly melt
into one holiday, a process which
is eliminated when affliction
forms the embryo from which
shepherd and peasant evolve into
one great nation -.
For as Grandfather says so sad
ly, "The greater the catastrophe
the greater we become in stature
as men and as a nation" =. Even
so the bondage in which we lived
in Egypt opened our eyes and our
hearts to the Law, and we knew
that our God is a God of mercy
and love, an almighty One who de-

New Furniture Designs
Follow Chinese Patterns

The increase in trade with China
has brought about an important
and stimulating trend in modern
furniture. Just as Chippendale
found great inspiration in the fine
carving and fret work of the Chi
nese masters for some OF his most
perfect pieces, modern designers
find in the simple, graceful lines
and clear colors of present day
China new pattern motifs.
An exquisite black lacquered chest
is used with emphasis against silver
tea chest paper. Other furniture in

three individual moisture barriers,
so the effect is almost that of using
two bats of insulation instead of
one.
Protection from moisture is one
of the most important considers-
tions in home insulation. Now that
artificial humidifcation has come
with house heating in winter time,
and particularly in climates which
normally reach extremely cold tenn
peratures, the passage of moisture
through walls can destroy some of
the effectiveness of insulation. The
old bugaboo of condensation at that
point within a wall where indoor
heat meets outdoor cold and forms
a vapor is done away with by mois-
ture barriers which keep the vapor

brick and dark-colored porous sur
faces. The other, called colorless
vaterproofing, is suggested for lime
stone and light-colored, close tex
tured surfaces.
The first IS designed to penetrate
deeply into the pores of brick. 1t
has in it a large quantity of mineral
gums which fill the small cavities.
Thus it keeps rain from washing
into the wall. The gums tend to
bring out the color of the brick,
much in the way water intensifies
the color of any surface it vets. But
the deepening color decreases after
a time, according to the makers.
J Even before it starts to fade it is
not very noticeable. unless you use
the clear waterprooflng only on part
of wall. Then, of course, that
part stands out from the rest.
Apply Generously.
+. The co1orless- waterproofing is
made with a base of the clear wa
terproofing. Intended for surfaces
with tiny pores, it naturally has less
gum in 1t, and so can be used on
the nghtest-toned walls without
Changing their color.
Either of the transparent coat
tngs should be applied generously
never less than two coats, sometimes
three-but no excess should be left
on the surface. The surface of the
wall must be dry when the coat
ings are brushed on, and all loose
joints or large holes should be re-
paired before the first coat is put
on. while small holes or cracks
should be puttied with caulking
compound before the second coat is
applied.
The clear waterproofing should
never be applied when the tenn
perature goes below 55 degrees, and
the colorless should be used only
when the temperature is above 40
degrees Fahrenheit.

tors, designed to give blended heat,
follow the trend of all home equip
ment in being 'paCkaged" units.
They consist of radiator, cabinet
and stamped steel grille which
snaps into position across the bot
tom of the cabinet. For some rooms
where a modern scheme of decora-
ton is used, there is a special grille
that gives the appearance of lowers
1t costs a little more than the reg

trimmer in appearance.
Cool air enters the cabinet
through the lower grille, wipes over
the hot surfaces, rises and comes
back into the room through the
openings at the top of the cabinet
This is the convection feature.
Meanwhile the hot surfaces give
n7 radiant heat to all cooler sir
faces in the room, passing through
the cabinet, because this kind of
heat Is not air-borne.
The cabinets are simple, stream

Installed with space between its
lower surface and the floor, so cold
air still can enter the cabinet.
