Bo

The Obama’s dog?
No, it’s not that “Bo” my friend
We’re talking Torah!

In this week’s portion
Pesach observance described
A law for all time

Kids are gonna ask
What’s this seder mean to you?
You must answer them

 

Exodus 12:26-27
Your children may ask you, ‘What is this service to you?’ You must answer, ‘It is the Passover service to God. He passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt when He struck the Egyptians, sparing our homes.‘

Pesach

April 22, 2011 in 5771, Pesach by Ed | No comments


We call it Pesach
But there are some other names
For this Festival

It’s Chag HaMatzot
Or Chag Z’man Cheyruteinu
Or Chag Ha’Aviv

Each name to recall
One of the many reasons
Why we celebrate


Chag HaMatzot = Festival of Unleveaned Bread
Chag Z’man Cheyruteinu = Festival of Our Freedom
Chag Ha’Aviv = Festival of Spring

The Spring Festival?

In Chicagoland
As we prepare for Pesach
White flakes are falling

Can’t be snow, can it?
Finely crushed matzah farfel
Is what it must be

G-d was preparing
Had a kitchen accident
We get all the crumbs


Chag Pesach Sameach!

Why’s this haggadah
Diff’rent from all the others?
‘Cause it’s in haiku!

Available now – just in time for Passover – it’s The Haggadah In Haiku. All the steps in 17 syllables each.

It’s all here … the Four Questions, the Ten Plagues, the Four Children, all Four Cups of Wine

This night differs, why?
Matzah, maror, dip, recline
Keep asking questions.
