04/26/11 - NNHS Newsletter - Last Day of Passover |
|
“Passover has a message for the conscience and the heart of all mankind. For
what does it - Morris Joseph “Passover affirms the great truth that liberty is the inalienable right of every human being.” - Morris Joseph |
Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Today is the last day of Passover - hmm, just as the title suggests.....
HOMEWORK:

From http://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/us/last-day-of-passover:
Many Jewish communities in the United States mark the last day of
Passover as the end of a Jewish holiday that celebrates the deliverance
of Jewish people from slavery in Egypt. Passover is also known as
Pesah, Pesach, or the Feast of Unleavened Bread.What do people do?Passover lasts for up to eight days (or seven days among Reform Jewish groups). There are many Jewish people who adhere to most of the Sabbath observances during the last day of Passover. Some may take a holiday around this time of the year. It is also a time for Jewish people to recite special blessings or prayers, as well as visit a synagogue or listen to readings from the Torah and eat a ceremonial meal. Many Jewish families in the United States eat a ceremonial meal known as the Seder, which involves telling the story of the exodus from Egypt as well as eating various symbolic foods, such as meat of the paschal lamb and bitter herbs (recalling the harsh life of slavery). Public lifeNone of the Passover days are federal holidays in the United States. However, many Jewish businesses and organizations are closed for some of the days or have restricted opening hours on others. Background and symbolsPassover celebrates Jewish people’s deliverance from slavery in Egypt. It is one of the three pilgrim festivals. Passover is related to the Christian observances of Good Friday and Easter Sunday and the Islamic Day of Ashura. Read about other Jewish observances, such as Tu B'Shevat (Arbor Day), Purim, Yom HaShoah, Lag B'Omer, Shavuot, Tisha B'Av and Rosh Hashana. |

THIS DAY IN THE WAR BETWEEN THE STATES:
http://www.civilwarinteractive.com/This%20Day/thisday0426.htm - INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
Sunday, April 26, 1863 SOUTHERN SECTIONS SEE SOME SURPRISES U.S. Grant continued to prepare today to move his army from the west to the east bank of the Mississippi River for the attack on Vicksburg. In other operations, a Confederate unit under Gen. Marmaduke launched an attack on Cape Girardeau, Mo., but it was repelled. Gen. Abel Streight continued to progress through Alabama for Georgia with his cavalry, mounted on mules for lack of available horses. |
"To laugh often and
much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of
children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal
of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave
the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a
redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because
you have lived. This is the meaning of success."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
From Ray Barnes ('65) of VA - 04/24/11 - "Does anybody remember this
guy?":
Hey Carol, I'm a Star Trek fan. No, I don't go to Trekkie conventions in my Klingon get-up. I wear that for my wife on birthdays and anniversaries (just kidding, just kidding). Anyhow, in the credits for the t.v. show (old and new) and for the movies, there is listed one William Ware Theiss as costume designer. Now, in home room 315, ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Thanks, Ray
Hmmm. Well, Ray, I don't remember
"our" Bill Theiss or where he is now (no big surprise there...

Let's hope this doesn't become a fad! There was a cashier that used to wear this type of magnifying studs in her gauged ears. I found it so distracting, although interesting, but the teeth--yuck. |

- "money bags":
Here we go again! I keep trying but I haven't gotten rich yet, maybe you will. Good Luck Everyone !!!! I hope it pours. This year we experienced
and are going to experience four unusual dates:
1/1/11, 1/11/11, 11/1/11, 11/11/11; that's not all
.. Take the last two digits of the year in which you
were born; now add the age you will be this year,
and the result will be 111 for everyone! Hmmm. We ran this a few months ago, as well as a few months before that, and a couple of the National Smart People in our midst pointed out that this situation actually arises much more frequently than that, as this post on snopes.com attests: http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/trivia/fivedays.asp But, HEY, I certainly do not want to tamper with Chinese Feng Shui, so let's not bother ourselves with trivial details (such as facts), and just keep those money bags rolling!
WILD GIGGLES!
Thanks so much, Joyce!

FINALLY:
From www.ajokeaday.com - 04/24/11:
One reason the Military Services have trouble operating jointly is that they don't speak the same language. For example, if you told Navy personnel to "secure a building," they would turn off the lights and lock the doors. The Army would occupy the building so no one could enter. Marines would assault the building, capture it, and defend it with suppressive fire and close combat. The Air Force, on the other hand, would take out a three-year lease with an option to buy. |

Jerusalem of Gold The air of the mountains is as clear as wine And the fragrance of the pine trees Is lifted upon the evening breeze With the ringing of the bells
And in the deep sleep of the tree and the stone Held captive in a dream The city which sits alone And in her heart, a wall
Jerusalem of gold And of copper and of light For all of your songs I am the harp
How the water cisterns have dried up The city square is empty Nobody goes up to the Temple Mount In the Old City
And in the caves of the rocks Winds howl And no one goes down to the Dead Sea Upon the Jericho Road
Jerusalem of gold...
Although I come to sing to you today And to tie crowns upon you I am less than the youngest of your sons And the last of the sweet singers
For your name singes the lips Like the kiss of the serpent If I forget thee, oh Jerusalem She is completely golden
Jerusalem of gold...
We have returned to the water cisterns To the marketplace and the square A shofar calls out on the Temple Mount In the Old City
And in the caves in the rocks A thousand suns shine forth And again we will go down to the Dead Sea Upon the Jericho Road
Jerusalem of gold... |
