Passover (Hebrew, Yiddish ?????? Pesach, Tiberian [p?sah]&_160; ( listen), Israeli Pesah, Pesakh, Yiddish Peysekh, Paysakh) is a Jewish and Samaritan holy day and festival commemorating the Hebrews' escape from enslavement in Egypt.

Passover begins on the 15th day of the month of Nisan (equivalent to March and April in Gregorian calendar), the first month of the Hebrew calendar's festival year according to the Hebrew Bible.^[1]

In the story of the Exodus, the Bible tells that God inflicted ten plagues upon the Egyptians before Pharaoh would release his Hebrew slaves, with the tenth plague being the killing of all of the firstborn, from the Pharaoh's son to the firstborn of the dungeon captive, to the firstborn of cattle. The Hebrews were instructed to mark the doorposts of their homes with the blood of a spring lamb and, upon seeing this, the spirit of the Lord passed over these homes, hence the term "passover".^[2] When Pharaoh freed the Hebrews, it is said that they left in such a hurry that they could not wait for bread to rise. In commemoration, for the duration of Passover, no leavened bread is eaten, for which reason it is called "The Festival of the Unleavened Bread".^[3] Matza (unleavened bread) is the primary symbol of the holiday. This bread that is flat and unrisen is called Matzo.

Together with Shavuot ("Pentecost") and Sukkot ("Tabernacles"), Passover is one of the three pilgrim festivals (Shalosh Regalim) during which the entire Jewish populace historically made a pilgrimage to the Temple in Jerusalem. Samaritans still make this pilgrimage to Mount Gerizim, but only men participate in public worship.^[4][5]

4. The Lord's Supper as a Part of a Meal - Right or Wrong? June 15, 2009 Should the Lord’s Supper be incorporated as a part of a larger meal in the worship of God in the Christian religion? Some are today arguing for such a practice. All any of us can know about what we should or should not do is found in the Bible, at least that has been the traditional view of conservatives. Today there is a liberal element in Christianity who feels they no longer need Bible authority for what they do. That being the case they feel free to do as they please and make anything and everything an act of worship that their heart so desires. They are no longer restricted by th...

16. "Why a Roman Crucifixion?" and the Bible October 02, 2008 The Bible teaches that the blood of the Son of God is the only remedy for sin. The Old Testament sacrificial system was a bloody affair - and its primary purpose was to “prime the pump” for the One sacrifice that actually had the power to expunge wrongdoing. “For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins .... Every priest stands daily ... offering time after time the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins; but He ... offered one sacrifice for sins for all time ....” (Heb 10:4,11,12).

Jewish dietary law mostly covers foods that are strictly forbidden under law and since these foods are not typically used in wine production, many brands and vintages can be technically considered kosher wines.

19. Overcome in Christ Daily May 05, 2008 Yeshua was sent to offer His life as the Passover Lamb of God (not the pagan Easter rabbit, an unclean animal) for those who receive Him as such and confess and forsake (even daily as necessary), our sins. As long as in our hearts and minds, and increasingly in our actions, we are turning from sin and partaking of the divine nature, sharing in God's righteousness by the power of the Holy Spirit, the blood of the Lamb has got us covered. However, pardon is not permission. Mercy is not approval. Those who profess to be Christians are to let Christ live again in and through and for them (1 Joh... (read more) Author: David Ben-Ariel

21. Kosher Food - Kosher Take-out, Steak and Dairy April 10, 2008 Kosher food satisfies Kashrut or Jewish nutritional laws. The word kashrut means healthy or appropriate in Hebrew. If the food attunes the Halacha or Jewish law, then that food is kosher food. On the contrary, foods usually tagged as Jewish are not essentially kosher.
