The Best Place to Buy Passover Goods—JesusBoat

Passover—or Pesach—is the Jewish holiday of freedom, commemorating the deliverance of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt as told in the Book of Exodus. The eight-day festival is celebrated in early spring from the 15th through the 22nd of the Hebrew month of Nissan. Jewish people from around the world recount Passover's watershed story of redemption at a festive meal called the Seder.

 

 

The celebration of Passover largely centers around the traditional dinner known as a Seder. A lovely table is set with the finest china and silverware and a white tablecloth. The first two days and the last two days (which commemorate the parting of the Red Sea) are full-fledged holidays. Holiday candles are lit at night and Kiddush and delicious meals are enjoyed both night and day. The middle four days are called chol hamoed, semi-festive "intermediate days," when most forms of work are permitted.

Hebrew/English.

 

·         Kiddush Cup: This important element of the Passover table is used to hold the four cups of wine which correspond to the four expressions of redemption that God uses in describing the Exodus (Ex. 6:6-7): “I will take you out…,” “I will save you…,” “I will redeem you…,” and “I will take you as a nation….” Choose from high quality wine cup made of silver with grapevine design, which is symbolic of the blessing recited over wine or grape juice to sanctify the Sabbath, or one decorated with the Tower of David and the Old City of Jerusalem. Comes with matching saucer.
