Dear Boys and Girls:
Passover will soon be with us.
The first Seder is Monday night,
March 26, and we will all start
eating the delicious matzoth for
eight happy days. Passover also
starts our Spring season when
everything on earth comes back
to life. For us children of Israel,
the original Pass-Over from Egypt
to the Sinai desert and then to
Palestine meant the beginning of
Israel as an independent nation.
But let us go to the story itself.
For two hundred and ten years
the children of Israel lived in
Egypt — in the land of goshen.
At first, they enjoyed their life
there, being in favor with the
ruling Pharaohs because of the
great part that Joseph had played
in Egypt in saving that country
from a terrible famine. Do you
remember the story of Joseph and
his brethren? Mother and Father
will tell you.
Now, after about one hundred
years of a happy and prosperous
life, the ruling class, jealous of
the success of the Israelites, turn
ed against the twelve tribes. They
realized that this hard-working
people was fast growing into a
powerful force. They also feared
that if an enemy attacked Egypt,
the Children of Israel might join
the invaders and then depart from
the country.
A terrible struggle began. The
Egyptians placed heavy tasks up
on the Israelites and kept them
under an iron heel. From time to
time, small bands of men from
various tribes would attempt to
save themselves from this forced
slavery, but their efforts always
proved in vain. Day by day the
children of Israel slipped further
and further into a terrible state
of slavery. They were forced to
do all sorts of hard labor for their
oppressors who hated them as the
Egyptians today hate the Israelis.
Their suffering grew steadily
worse, until finally the Lord took
pity upon them and sent them a
saviour in the person of Moses,
son of Abraham. After punishing
the Egyptians, with nine severe
plagues — despite which Pharaoh
refused to allow Moses and the
Israelites to depart, the Lord God
of Israel slew all the first born of
Egypt, on the night of the four
teenth of Nissan. The Lord “pass
ed over” the houses of the chil
dren of Israel when smiting the
firstborn of the Egyptians, and
for this reason the festival that
is now celebrated for eight days,
beginning at sundown on the 14th
of Nissan, is known as Pesach—
Passover.
The first two nights of Pesach,
as you know, are termed the Se
der nights, because of the service
observed at that time. Many in
teresting and meaningful cere
monies are performed, including
the singing of hymns and songs—
giving thanks to the Lord for His
divine aid. This year especially
Passover has a deep meaning for
us. A new Pharaoh has risen in

Egypt, Premier Nasser, who has
sworn to destroy Israel. But, we
all know that he will not succeed,
no matter how many allies he will
get to help him. Because the God
of Moses is still with the children
of Israel today as He was with
them in the past — and the
Egyptians better look out if they
want to start trouble. So, you see,
Dear Boys and Girls, we are still
in Bible times and still “Passing
Over” until God brings us our
final victory as the Bible says
He would.
Next week we will continue to
discuss the meaning of Pesach as
we prepare ourselves for this
great festival in a spirit of joy
and love. Until then, Shabbath
Shalom.
