Today is Erev Pesach, Passover begins at sunset!

Passover, or “Pesach” in Hebrew, is the holiday which celebrates the Exodus of the Jewish people from slavery in Egypt. 

Preparations for the holiday will often continue throughout the day, as the first Seder is tonight. A Seder is an orchestrated festive meal, which includes lots of food, singing, the story of the Passover, and other rituals.

During Passover there is a different set of dietary restrictions, which forbids Chametz, leavened bread products. On Erev Pesach, there is customs to burn all such products in your home, and recite a special blessing to “nullify” them.

Some observe T'anit Bechorot, The Fast of the First Born, from daybreak to sunset today.

in light of Columbia University including ashkenormativity -- albeit defined poorly -- in their dictionary or DEI words, here are some things that people (jews and non-jews) say that are ashkenormative.

"All Jews are white european colonizers!" - While this doesn't even apply to Ashkenazim, it especially doesn't apply to Mizrahim, most of whom's families never stepped foot in Europe.

"Falafel, shawarma, hummus etc aren't Jewish foods!" - This erases this culinary traditions of Mizrahi and Sephardi Jews by claiming that the only Jewish foods are Ashkenazi ones. Hummus is just as much of a Jewish food as Babka is.

"Jews should just go back where they came from." - While an Ashkenazi Jew might (but not definitely - ie Ukraine) be able to go back to where our recent ancestors lived, most Mizrahim and Sephardim definitely could not.

PSA for goyim drawing Jews: We don't wear a tallit gadol all the time. We don't wear a tallit gadol at the Seder, or lighting Chanukah candles, etc. It's only worn for daily prayer. Also a tallit gadol isn't just a fancy shawl- the most important part of it is the four knotted fringes at each corner. If those fringes aren't there, it's not a tallit.

Pesach is, to me, the most difficult holiday to celebrate right now. Since Oct 7th we've had a few holidays, but Pesach is the one that pains me most so far.

Hanukkah made sense. We are fighting to keep our homeland, as the Maccabees did. We have Israel now, and we will still have Israel. The holiday celebrating our resistance against those who wished to destroy us in our home made sense.

Purim made sense. Yes, it was painful to celebrate the holiday of joy, but we have resisted a force that wishes to eliminate each and every one of us. Just as we did in Persia against Haman, we are defending ourselves because never again will we be put in the position of being at our oppressor's mercy.

Pesach does not make sense. How are we to celebrate being taken out of captivity when over a hundred of our brothers and sisters are still being held captive? How are we to cheer about our freedom when our own people are not free? How can we celebrate G-d's hand coming down to free us when members of our Jewish family have not been free for over half a year?

It is painful. It physically hurts my chest to think about all of this. I wish for G-d to carry our people again, this time from the tunnels under Gaza. From the violent antisemitism we have been seeing happening all around. May we yet again experience freedom from those who wish us harm.

I in no way am saying that we should not celebrate Pesach. If anything, it is more important now than ever to celebrate and pray for freedom. I am just sharing my own feelings on the matter.

As was said then, we say now: LET OUR PEOPLE GO!

I sincerely don't know how these all still shock me, but they do. The first one is from an anti-Israel protest in the UK, where apparently everyone was allowed to cross the road, other than Jews. "But the police are just trying to protect these random Jewish passerby!" If everyone can pass peacefully by anti-Israel demonstrations, other than Jews, what does that say about these protesters?

The next vid is from Colombia University, in the US. There's an interview from October 2023, where a Hamas senior explicitly says that they will be carrying out Oct 7, the biggest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, again and again and again. I'm gonna be honest, I can't understand how that interview alone hasn't shocked the world, and wasn't talked about by everyone. I guess this footage is the answer. Because some people are actually on board with that.

Chag Pesach Sameach / חג פסח שמח to all, but especially to the Jewish mosquito whose seder consisted of me tonight…

One can question Columbia University’s (and Israel’s) tactical choices, but it’s still the case that the protestors are supporting the elimination of Israel and excusing the rape, kidnapping, and murder of Jewish people.

By reciting the Haggadah, Jews give their children a sense of connectedness to Jews throughout the world and to the Jewish people throughout time.
