i remember this day as i saw a philadelphia rap group called jedi mind tricks at the trocadero theater.
the lead rapper is an obese white who is absurd with his gangsterness. they are muslim and political and frequently talk about "sneak into the vatican strangle the pope with his rosary"

so quite the coincidence i see them on this day.

"pope died today.. hell yeah... yall know we happy bout that poop"

April 6th

National Caramel Popcorn Day

April 8, 2009:
Sundown today marks the first night of the 8 day Jewish holiday of Passover.

Passover is a Jewish holiday whose date varies by year in our Gregorian, just as Easter does. In the Jewish lunar calendar, it's the 15th day of Nissan.

Passover is a celebration of freedom from slavery by the Egyptians, marking the escape from Egypt that occured during the time of Pharaoh Ramses II.

The holiday lasts for 8 days (in Israel, only 7 days). On the first and last two days of the holiday no work is permitted (in Israel, the first and last day.) The focus of the holiday is foods that are designated and forbidden during it. Kosher rules are stricter than usual, requiring a special "kosher for passover" category.

Yeast-leavened foods -- called "hametz" -- are forbidden. In fact, anything which even could be leavened, such as products made from wheat, are forbidden, so any bread, cake, pasta, flour, etc., must all be removed from the home. The home must be cleaned thoroughly, to remove any crumbs that might have been leavened. The only bread allowed is Matzoh bread.

On the first two evenings, a special meal called a "Seder" (only the first evening in Israel) is served. The food items represent the exodus out of Egypt. As part of the ritual, families ask the question, "Why is this night special"?

Three pieces of Matzoh bread are placed in a cloth bag, and put in the centre of the table, while preparing the table. At the start of the meal, the middle matzoh is removed from the bag, and broken in half. One half is returned to the bag, the other is hidden somewhere in the house for a child to find later and get a prize. That hidden half is called the ""Afikomen"

A special Seder appetizer plate is served, containing the following items:
Bitter herbs (mator) Freshly-grated horseradish or romaine lettuce. Symbolizes slavery
Parsley dipped in salt water (karpas) Symbolizes both tears and spring
Roasted egg (Beitzah) A hard-boiled egg which is baked in the oven or held over a stove burner until the shell becomes brown. No one's quite certain how it got on the plate. Some feel the practice may have originated amongst Italian Jews in the Middle Ages. So many interpretations now attached to it, such as a symbol of spring, etc.
Shank bone of lamb Symbolizes a lamb sacrifice. But can also be a turkey leg bone, for instance, if turkey is being served.
Haroset A fruit and nut salad made from chopped walnuts and apples flavoured with cinnamon and wine. Symbolizes the material used to make bricks with for the Pharoah.

Four ceremonial glasses of wine are poured at different times, representing freedom, deliverance, redemption, and release. A fifth cup is poured for the Prophet Elijah. The house door is opened at one point to invite Elijah in. After the meal, the children hunt for the hidden piece of matzoh (mentioned above.) When it's found, everyone eats it, then the meal is over.


Language Notes
Passover is called "Pesach" in Hebrew.
