shalt thou Cypress him; for We
were strangers in the land of
Egypt"
During the week of Passover
a Sedar is held. Around sunset,
the men 60 to a synagogue for
the service. When they return
the festival table is ready. At
the head of the table is the large
Passover platter which contains
the Sedar symbols; the parsley
representing the spring and new
life brought to earth. It is dip
ped in salt water to remind US of
the tears which our ancestors
shed while they worked for their
oppressors in Egypt. The haroses
is a reminder of the mortar with
which the Jews were forced to
work. The roasted shankbone is
to me the most interesting or all.
It is a symbol of the paschal
lamb which the 1sraelites ate as
their last meal in Egypt, on the
eve of their leaving. The Is
raelites had been instructed by
Moses to gather in front of their
homes at dusk. The head Of
each family offered a lamb as a
sacrifice to God. The lamb was
eaten with bitter herbs and I'M
leavened bread. By sacrificing
the lamb, the Jews showed their
faith in God and their disbelief in
the Egyptian gods, for the lamb
was considered sacred in Egypt.
The Bible tells us that during this
night the first-born of all Egyp-
tians died and then Pharaoh, in
fear. let the 1sraelites 60. The
roasted shankbone at Sedar also
reminds us that when the Jews
were living in Palestine they Of
fered sacrifices in the temple in
memory of the paschal lamb. The
roasted egg on the platter stands
for the sacrifices that were made
in temples at Jerusalem on the
various holidays.
The matzos originated when
the Hebrews left Egypt in such
a hurry that the dough of the
bread had no time to rise, so, it
was baked unleavened on the
desert.
The Afikomon is a piece of the
middle matzo. The Sedar can
not be finished without it be-
cause it is a symbol of the pas
chal lamb which, in ancient
times, was eaten as desert.
The Cup of Elijah is placed
near the door after the meal. Eli
jah is supposed to return and
lead our people to Israel. The
Sedar concludes with songs from
the Haggadah.

Because of the Passover holi-
day we are devoting this column
to an essay written by Ida Puldy,
a student in Grade 9 of the Sun

Jewish Center which my husband

four years he's been teaching, this
is the best essay written on the

WHAT PASSOVER
MEANS TO ME"

The events of the first Pass

thousand years ago. Passover,

by the rough, still unimproved

cannot help but feel that this is

dirty-looking men lounged, some
eating lunch out of paper bags,
