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.
