the cup each time one of the
plaques is mentioned in the course
Of the Seder Passover eve?
ANSWER: A number of an
SWerS are offered for this inter-
estlng custom. Some claim that it
IS a sort of graphic description
and representation of how the
Egyptians were reduced in num-
oerS after each successive plague,
just as the wine grows less in the
cup. Others claim this is a means
OF expressing to the others around
the table that it is our wish to
avert thi S kind of catastrophe
from happening to them.
Some writer's claim that this
custom is an expression of regret
on the part of the observant Jew
to signify that he does not delight
IN the downfall of any human,
even though it be his immortal
enemy. Splitting the wine indi-

QUESTION: Why do some PEG.
pie insist upon doing this with
their fingers?
ANSWER: The plaques that
were described in the Bible usual
ly carried the description that
they were delivered by the
finger of CD" AS each plague is
mentioned, therefore, one flicks
the wine with ones fingers to
signify the finger of Cd" which
punished the Egyptians.
QUESTION: Why is it custom
airy to combine the matzoh and
the bitter herbs and eat them in
the form Of a sandwich?
ANSWER: There is a difference
of opinion in the Talmud (Pe-
sakim 116a.) as to what the pro-
cedure of eating the Matzoh and
the bitter herbs should be. Ac-
cording to the rabbis one is sup
posed to eat the Matzoh separate
ly and the bitter herbs separately,
since the matzoh is mentioned in
the Bible as an independent COM
mandment exodus 1919 while
the bitter herbs are mentioned
only in connection with the Pas
chal lamb plumbers GID. Since
there is no Paschal lamb offered
today the two should be distin-
guished by separate ceremonies
lest it be mistakenly thought that
the eating of the bitter herbs APP
plies in the same sense as the
matzoh.
Hillel disagrees with this view
point and claims. that the two
should be eaten together since at
the place where the eating of the
bitter herbs is mentioned it is
mentioned that they are eaten to-
gether with the Matzoh and this
procedure should be followed, ac-
cording to Hillel, even when there
is no temple.
QUESTION: Why Is II custom
airy amongst the Orient Jews for
the unmarried girls to eat the

ANSWER: This seems to~be an
ancient tradition and it is claimed
that the girl who eats the roasted
egg will be helped to find a groom
during the coming year. It is sug-
gested by some that the egg is
symbolic of reproduction. A sin

through 1855 and rose to a peak
the latter part of the year. Ac-

The board said that the record

heavier demands for money both

Likewise there has been an in

some of which are short supply
