have it more abundantly."
John 1910
The Young Women's Christian
Association of which the Y-Teens
are a part, is an. organization of
women and girls throughout the
world working together to bring
about a Christian Society.
The Worlds YWCA with head
quarters in Geneva, Switzerland,
brings together for planning and
promotion of purpose the YWCA's
in sixty-nine countries over the
world. The ties transcend nation
atty and race. even enmities and
war, and they are found in COM
mon devotion to an ideal. How
ever. the goal is still far out
ahead and until women and girls
in homes. in communities. within
nations, and among nations have
accomplished the Christian way
of living, there will always be
work for the Young Women's
Christian Association.
The basis of the Worlds YWCA
is: Faith in God the Father as
the Creator and in Jesus Christ
His Only Son as Lord and Sa-
viour, and in the Holy Spirit as
the Revealer of truth and Source
of power for life and service, &C.
cording to the teaching of Holy
Scripture
The stated purpose of the
Young 'Women's Christian Asso-
citation of the United States is:
To build a fellowship of wo-
men and girls devoted to the
task of realizing in our common
life those ideals of personal and
social living to which we are COM
mitted by our faith as Christians.
In this endeavor we seek to
understand Jesus, to share His
love for all people, and to grow
in the knowledge and love OF
God"
The YWCA is an idea as much
as it is an organization. The idea
is ito help girls and women to
grow into fine personalities and
to make a better society in which
fullness of life shall be possible.
1t seeks a Christian way of liv-
ing as its goal and as its method"
The last clause seems to be the
most distinctive and probably the
mot characteristic. The Christian
| way Of living must be the method
if it is to be the goal.
The YWCA in the United States
is found in l.05l communities,
ranging from moderate sized
towns to whole states. This in
cludes about 600 groups on col
lege and university campuses.
They are brought together peri
odically in National Convention
when the National Board is elect
ed and emphases and obligations
are adopted as guides for the
overall program in the interim of
conventions. Between conven-
tions, Regional and Area Confer
ences are held, and the National

lation which the Lord is expected
to extend to Israel for its suffer-
ing. Interesting indeedis the con-
tention of those who claim that
the four cups represent the four
times that cup of wine was mem
toned in the incident of the
dream of the Chief Butler of
Pharoah which was explained and
interpreted by Joseph during
their stay in prison. Genesis
Chap. 4O). In that dream Joseph
saw not only the redemption of
the chief butler but also the re-
demption of the people, of Israel
from Egypt who would later cele-
brate this redemption with four
cups of wine. y

QUESTION: What is the mean
ing Of the fifth cup of wine which
is placed upon the table and not
consumed?
ANSWER: This is generally re-
ferred to as the Cup of Elijah, the
prophet, who is to come as the
agent of the final redemption.
Some claim that since one of the
opinions called for five cups in
stead of four at the Seder, basing
the fifth cup upon an additional
expression of redemption, "And I
brought ye." The decision of the
fifth cup is being left to Elijah
who is some day to render the
final decision on all debatable
questions in Jewish life. Elijah
is also shown this respect since
he is regarded as the central fig
ure in Jewish circumcisions (for
this reason a "Chair of Elijah" is
always designated at the circum-
cision ceremony and circumci-
sion was one of the qualifications
of anyone who wished to eat of
the Pashal Lamb which was sac
rificed for the Passover. Others
consider the fifth cup as a symbol
of hospitality, of welcome for the
stranger, the hungry and the poor.
The extra cup and the "open
door" ceremony point out to the
passing stranger that there is food
and drink and companionship for
all who enter.

QUESTION: What does the
term Nation" mean?
ANSWER: The word "Matzoh"
is the name given to the un-
leavened bread eaten during the
Passover festival. It is generally
considered as being derived from
a Hebrew root 'Matzotz" which
means to "suck out" as the
sounding of this verb indicates.
Thus the word ''Matzoh" has come
to mean sweetness" since
"sweet" morsels are usually
sucked" An unleavened morsel
not having been fermented is
comparatively sweet. In addition
thereto the unleavened bread ap-
pears to be dried out or sucked
out" in comparison to the full
looking" bread which has been
leavened.
&\sAA
QUESTION: Why are three
loaves Of Matzoh put upon the
table for the SedeT ritual?
ANSWER: A number of inter-
esting reasons have been adj
vanced for this custom. Funda-
mentally, it should be remember
ed that two loaves of bread are
usually placed upon the table for
any Sabbath or festival. They are
called 'Lechem Mishneh" (dou-
BILE Loaf because they commence
rate the double portion of mamma
,(bread from Heaven which the
Israelites received daily in their
desert travels) which was given
to the Israelites on Friday so that
they would not have to look for
the mama on the Sabbath.
On Passover an additional loaf
is added to these two because it
represents the "bread of afflic-
ton" which the Bible calls for
.(Deut. 16: 81 on this holiday. This
middle piece is broken into at the
beginning of the Seder service
either to indicate the act of being
"broken" with affiction or to
serve as the poor mans bread
which is never eaten in its en-
tirety at one time for fear there
will be no bread for the next
meal.
Another practical reason offer
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1951-04-20

ca Tor the three lOaVeS is the TACT
that some duty is performed with
each of the three. The middle one
we have just explained is broken
in half. The top one is the one
over which we make the blessing
for the bread. The bottom one is
the one whic h is used for the
'Hillel" sandwich. which places
the bitter herbs in between two
pieces of Matzoh. Many have
claimed that the three Matzos
stand for the three-fold classifi-
cations of Israel-the Kohen, the
Levite and the Israelite. Others
have seen in it the three-fold
priestly blessing or the three
patriarchs-Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob.
- ###
QUESTION: What is the reason
for the four cups Of wine which
are used during the Seder?
ANSWER: The use of wine in
Jewish ritual appears to be the
forerunner of the modern custom
of 'toasting." Thus on any Sab
bath or upon any holiday the
wine may be said to be a form of
"toasting G-d''' for his gift of the
Sabbath, the holiday, or that for
which the occasion stands. In the
case of the Passover we lift the
cup of wine as a toast to our free
dom given us by cd who saved
us from the Egyptians. Four ex-
preSsions for this redemption are
found in the Bible: "And / took
We out" "And I rescued ye," "And
l redeemed ye," "And I took We
(unto me.") These are regarded
as the four steps to freedom. They
are then toasted individually with
the respective four cups of wine
to show that we appreciate each
and every step. ~.
Others consider the four CUBS a
symbol of the four empires which
oppressed the people of Israel and
from whom we were redeemed. A
cup is thus raised for each of the
redemptions. Some consider the
four cups to represent the four
cups Cor measures) of punish
ment the Lord is expected to pun
ish the peoples of the world with
for their wickedness, to be fol-
lowed by the universal reign Of
righteousness.

cups the four measures of conso-
