[IceBlaZe]

To all the Jews of the forum
Have a happy passover, a hag sameach and a filling Seder!

Cheers to all the none Jews too! This is the feast of freedom!

No more . Only an Israelite shall now rule the Israelites.

Isn't Happy Passover a contradiction in terms?

 

[Yoda Power]

Not really, passover is a happy occassion, in memory of the escape of the Israelites from Egypt.



A filling seder? Can it be otherwise?

Is this the time of the year when you make macaroni pictures for Moses?

Happy passover, indeed! My best friend growing up was Jewish, I used to like when passover rolled around, because I love the taste of mahtzoh (sp?), especially with peanut butter, and they would always have a ton left over for me to munch on.

Easter is a Christian holiday commemerating the Resurrection of Christ. Passover is a Jewish holiday commemerating the deliverance of the Jews from Egypt. But I suppose that if you were an Easter Orthodox Christian, today is Easter (if they still hold it on Passover, I'm not sure.)

I can't believe I looked at the calendar and saw Passover was the 16 and didn't realize TODAY was the 16th.

Happy Passover everyone. Everyone else - envy our religion-sanctioned mandatory 4 cups of wine policy!

 

[G-Man]

Isn't it great to have to Seder at home? The entire country is jammed and since it's usually over at around midnight you and just the way from here to Haifa (where all the relatives coming to us live) is an hour when the roads are clear, I wouldn't be surprised if they'll get stuck till 2AM. Poor people with houses not big enough for the entire family

 

[Sh3kel]

G-man - I sincerely hope you get constipation from the Matzot. People who host the Seder without being practicing religious Jews (and as such unable to travel by car on holidays by religion) deserve to sit at the toilet for hours at a time.

Happy Passover. Tell me, is it still custom to put the lamb's blood on the door?

 

[G-Man]

Oh, I'm full.

And no, sh3kel, I ate only one matza. I did however finish a substential number of kneydalakhs (without that horrible watery thingy people tend to put around them).
Since it's kinda hard to make cakes for passovre my uncle brought an ice-cream cake. The only problem is that it melted. We did however use some creative thinking and used it on the fruits. Mhhh..... Vanilla apples....

 

[sysyphus]

Tonight I will experience my first passover, my girlfriend's father is Orthodox Jewish (converted... he used to be a Scotsman! )

She tells me I'm in for a treat... should be fun. Hopefully there'll be lots of latkes... sysyphus loves latkes

Of course, he always makes me wear a keepa (sp?)...

So Happy Passover to all Jewish people here, I'm looking forward to joining in.

@G-man - May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits.

@cgannon64 - Not really, I mean, have you ever tried cleaning blood from wood? It gets into all the small cracks and crevices and never comes out... and the smell, oy gevalt, the smell!

 

[PinkyGen]

Wrong holidy, doubt latka's.

Celebrating Passover with 599 other Jews here on campus later tonight.
