#Pesach Jewish #Passover 🌹 from sunset of 10th April 2017 till 18th April 2017 🌹 #Pesach is an important, biblically derived Jewish holiday. The Jewish people celebrate Pesach as a commemoration of their liberation by God from slavery in Egypt and their freedom as a nation under the leadership of Moses.
It commemorates the story of the Exodus as described in the Hebrew Bible especially in the Book of Exodus, in which the Israelites were freed from slavery in Egypt.
According to standard biblical chronology, this event would have taken place at about 1300 BCE (AM 2450).

Passover/Pesach is a spring festival which during the existence of the Jerusalem Temple was connected to the offering of the "first-fruits of the barley", barley being the first grain to ripen and to be harvested in the Land of Israel.

Passover/Pesach commences on the 15th of the Hebrew month of Nisan and lasts for either seven days (in Israel and for Reform Jews and other progressive Jews around the world who adhere to the Biblical commandment) or eight days for Orthodox, Hasidic, and most Conservative Jews (in the diaspora). 

In Judaism, a day commences at dusk and lasts until the following dusk, thus the first day of Passover only begins after dusk of the 14th of Nisan and ends at dusk of the 15th day of the month of Nisan.
The rituals unique to the Passover celebrations commence with the Passover Seder when the 15th of Nisan has begun.
In the Northern Hemisphere Passover takes place in spring as the Torah prescribes it: "in the month of [the] spring" (בחדש האביב Exodus 23:15). It is one of the most widely observed Jewish holidays.

In the narrative of the Exodus, the Bible tells that God helped the Children of Israel escape from their slavery in Egypt by inflicting ten plagues upon the ancient Egyptians before the Pharaoh would release his Israelite slaves; the tenth and worst of the plagues was the death of the Egyptian first-born.

The Israelites were instructed to mark the doorposts of their homes with the blood of a slaughtered spring lamb and, upon seeing this, the spirit of the Lord knew to pass over the first-born in these homes, hence the English name of the holiday.

When the Pharaoh freed the Israelites, it is said that they left in such a hurry that they could not wait for bread dough to rise (leaven).
In commemoration, for the duration of Passover no leavened bread is eaten, for which reason Passover was called the feast of unleavened bread in the Torah or Old Testament.
Thus matzo (flat unleavened bread) is eaten during Passover and it is a tradition of the holiday.

Historically, together with Shavuot ("Pentecost") and Sukkot ("Tabernacles"), Passover/Pesach is one of the three pilgrimage festivals (Shalosh Regalim) during which the entire population of the kingdom of Judah made a pilgrimage to the Temple in Jerusalem.

🌹 #Pesach 🌹 #Jewish #Passover tradition🌹from 10th April till 18th April 2017🌹thanks Dalia +Hebrew reading & writing class with Dalia

🔯🍗❤️ The Pesach- Passover Plate ❤️🍗🔯

The Seder plate - צלחת הסדר- is the focal point on the Seder Pesach-Passover table.

On the plate are symbolic foods used at the Passover Seder.

The plate could be an ornate one or any round plate.Many plates have the names of the foods with their order.

These are the symbolic foods on the Seder plate( don't get overwhelmed, just take it as a general knowledge):

🌼1) "Zeroa" - זרוע- :

The Zeroa is a piece of roasted meat that represents the lamb that was the special paschal sacrifice on the eve of the exodus from Egypt, and annually on the afternoon before Passover in the Holy Temple.
It's not eaten.

🌼2) "Beitzah" - ביצה- Egg : a hard-boiled egg, representing the festival offering.

It is custom to eat the egg together with the saltwater which is set on the table.
The salt water symbolizes the tears and sweat of enslavement.

🌼3) "Maror" - מרור- grated horseradish (just the horseradish , ( not the red stuff that has vinegar and beets added) and/or romaine lettuce, for use as the "bitter herbs" , to represent the bitter life the Israelite had as slaves in Egypt.

Some eat the romain lettuce and the grated horseradish together.
The word " Maror" comes the Hebrew word: " Mar" - מר - meaning: Bitter.

🌼4) "Charoset" - חרוסת- a paste made of apples, pears, nuts dates and wine. There could be many varieties of recipes. The color of the Charoset represents the clay and bricks used by the Israelite to build for Pharaoh.
The taste of the the Charoset is sweet and goooood.

🌼5) "Karpas" - כרפס- a bit of vegetable, such an onion or potato. Many have a custom to use parsley.

It alludes to the backbreaking work of the Israelites as slaves.

🌼6) "Chazeret" חזרת more bitter herbs, for use in the matzah-maror sandwich. The Chazeret could be a leafy green, and it also symbolizes the bitterness the Israelite endured.

Happy Passover!

#Passover (in Hebrew, Pesach) commemorates the Exodus of the Jews from slavery in Egypt and their freedom as a nation under the leadership of Moses. Passover is observed for seven days in #Israel and eight days in the Diaspora.

The main event of the Passover holiday is the #Seder (literally, “order”), a #festive meal in which the Haggadah (story of the exodus and related writings) is recited in a set order.

This evening begins #Pesach (#Passover). The #CivilAirPatrol Chaplain Corps offers its thoughts and prayers to all who celebrate this holiday season! May you be blessed during this time. ....
