“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,

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. |

| She Slept With Her Snake And Then
The Vet Told Her Something Shocking This is a true story about a woman from India who lived in the Middle Ages and had a pet snake, python, which she loved so much. The snake was 4 meters long and looked healthy. However, one day her unusual pet just stopped eating. This lack of appetite in the snake continued over a few weeks. The desperate woman tried everything she could and offered anything that a snake would like to strangle and eat. Nothing worked, and finally the woman took her loving pet to the veterinarian as a last resort. The vet listened to the woman carefully and asked, “Does your snake sleep with you at night, wrap around you closely and spread out throughout its length?” The woman was surprised and with a lot of hope she said, “Yes! Yes! It does it every day and it makes me so sad because I see something asking of me, and I cannot help it feel better.” Then, the vet said something shocking and most unexpected. “Madam, your pet is not sick; it is just preparing to eat you.” Yes, the python wasn’t sick but it has been preparing to eat her instead! “Every time, it is creeping and “hugging” you, wrapping around your body, it is checking size to weigh how a great meal you are and how it must be prepared before the attack. And yes, it does not eat, in order to have enough space to digest you more easily,” the vet said. This story comes with a moral – Even people close to you, whom you are very affectionate with, can have mean intentions. You need to identify the snake around you and their true intent. Hugs and kisses are not always honest. Don’t fear the enemy that attacks you, but the fake friend that hugs you.
YOWZERONI!
Thank you, Webby!

| “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.”

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... |
