Passover Particles
By Benard Postal
Outside of Palestine, Passover,
which this year begins on April 12
(first Sedar night is April 11) is
observed for eight days by Ortho
dox Jews, but according to the Old
Testament the festival lasts only a
week, Palestinian Jews visiting
abroad during Passover are per
mitted to eat chometz on the
eighth day.
• • •
The oldest treasure hunt In the
world is the familiar Passover
search for the hidden afikomen.
Archaeologists have established
that the date of the exodus of the
Jews from Egyptian slavery was
1447 B. C., and that the pharoah of
the Passover story was Thotmes
III.
• • •
Although in this country we use
square, rectangular or round mat-
zoth impartially, depending on
which company’s products we buy,
the custom until the age of ma
chinery was that matzoth should
be round.
* • *
The original reason for perforat-
j ing matzoth was to prevent the
dough from rising.
* • *
The earliest known edition of
the Haggadah extant is dated 1505
A.D., and was printed at Fano,
Italy.
* * *
Handel, Schubert, Rubinstein
and Mendelssohn are among the
famous composers inspired by the
story of the exodus of the Jews
from Egypt to create musical mas
terpieces.
* • •
The word Sedar literally means
“order of service.”
• * *
In the Spitalflelds section of j
1 London’s East End it was once the
custom for Jewish householders to
present matzoth to their non-
Jewish neighbors on Passover and
to receive in return plum puddings
Ion Christmas.
