Just wondering what everyone knows about passover.

[Sparkling Anon]

Do not search please(google/bing/yhaoo and so on), I am wondering on the top of your head. What do you know about passover the Jewish Holiday? I will not take offense to your to your guesses, or if you know anything be it wrong or right. I am just really curious what you all know about it, I am 99% sure you all know a lot about eater as do I ><

Eh. I honestly don't know that much about anything when it comes to religion. I'm not that interested.

The only reason I know when certain ones are, is because they're so commercialized. Basically, the only time I care is when it makes sales at the store go up at my store.

yeah, that's mostly Christan stuff, like Christmas, Easter and so on ><

I am not that religious my self.

I'll take a crack at it.

Passover commemorates the exodus of the Israelites out of Egypt, specifically the time where the angel of death passed over the homes of the Jews while killing off all the firstborns. Traditionally, each family would kill a sacrificial lamb and smear the blood on the doorway, then eat it as a meal with bitter herbs, while holding their staff in their hands. Modern Jews probably don't do things quite like that, but that's the general idea.

As an Atheist I know nothing about most religions festivities, though I would love to learn more about it.

I flip flop all the time, I tend to stick to saying I am Jewish yes but none religois and more lightly spiritual.



@KaylaGalela heart

@Chixen I know only the basics of Christan holidays, and just about nothing about others. I feel bad about that.

I'm Gnostic and my one Jewish friend doesn't observe. I can tell you all about jewish delis, tho. emotion_kirakira

About gnosticism, it's very interesting.

i'm fine with that.
i respect people and what they believe but, i'm not interested on listening to lectures on it.

You leave a chair for Ezekial (right?)--and you basically read/tell the story of exodus to eachother over a traditional dinner. There's yummy wine.

That's... pretty much all I know.

And unleavened bread!
....I made it once. But that was when my family was weirdly traditional and mixed in parts of Passover on Holy Thursday (Last Supper) y'know, to get the full on religious effect gonk

Yummmmy. I've always wanted to go to a passover dinner thing, but I don't have any good Jewish/holy Thursday celebrating folks who are hardcore about it.

Maybe one day.

idk, maybe it was the cooking, but unleavened Matzah bread isn't really that tasty.

Also, matzah bread rap video is now finally relevant.

you need to have something on it to have it taste good. I put butter smile .
If you ever go to a Seder I would eat a bit before you go.Seder's can take a while before you eat. matzah balls soup is good. I would give that a try.
