In ancient Jewish life, it was the first of the three pilgrim festivals, upon which every male Jew was required to pre sent himself In person at the central sanctuary in Jerusalem. Although the passover has certain features in cpmmon with the universal spring fes tivals' it is its historical significance which gives it lasting vitality. . independence Say of Jew. It is the great Independence. Day of the Jew; the first event in his national history,. an event which became fun damental in all his thinking, too, as evidenced by the frequent reference to the great deliverance. The festival is ushered in by a fam ily service, called the Seder, at which" certain symbolic ceremonials are ob-? served. Each participant and the lowliest is privileged to sit at the ta ble, tha niglit is required to drink four' cups of wine," in memory of the four promised made by the Eternal to redeem Israel from bondage. On the table are the unleavened cakes. (Matzos), the shin-bone of a lamb (roasted on the coals), com memorative . of the Paschal sacrifice, 4 roasted egg1, a mixture of apples, and nuts (Charoseth), to s.ymbolize the mortar with which the "Egyptians made bitter the lives" of the fathers, and bitter herbs (Maror), reminiscent of the unhappy days in Egypt. Psalms of Thanksgiving Keynote. In song and story, the tale, of the oppression and the deliverance is re hearsed. Psalms of thanksgiving (Ilallel), strike the key-note of the happy occasion. The services, inter rupted for the family dinner, closes with a number of merry folk-songs, expressive of the character of the cele bration. During the- veek of the festival, unleavened bread is eaten instead of the usual leaven. In orthodox homes, great care is taken that all traces of leaven be removed before the begin ning of the festival. Sets of dishes, otherwise unused, are provided.
