    It's interesting that some Christians think the classic film, The Ten Commandments, is about them when it's about Passover and the birth of Judaism.

    I remember going to my Aunt and Uncles Seder when I was little. We didn't eat until around 10:30pm.

    Happy Passover ✝️ Blessed to all of you 🔥💜 May I ask if someone sees this... After Yeshua's final Passover meal on that evening , did he then die the following day¿¿ So for this year Mon 22 is the start , so did he die on Tuesday and rose again on Friday¿

    I learned so much! And it was fun! Thanks! Happy Passover!

    Cute! We start with a ton of appetizers and limit the service to an hour or the natives get restless. In the words of my late father, "If a Jew doesn't eat every two hours, he'll die." Happy Passover to all!

    OMG... you are so funny...and SO RIGHT about everything you said. Thank you! (I'm gonna go eat a snack right now...before the seder starts!) Love this!

    Humor is so important but this Passover calls more for offering hope and empathy to all impacted by the tragedy that began 10/7/23. There are the families of the hostages who are grieving, the Palestinians who are being starved by Hamas blocking the delivery of aid and the world at large facing enormous uncertainty. 🙏🏻💙

    A wonderful tradition even Netanyahu can't ruin.

    Not a tradition. It's what happened. The angel of God passed over Egypt and killed many people. That's why it's called Passover.

    This is an atheist's interpretation of Passover. If you just read Exodus around chapter 15-20 I want to think, it overtly explains that Passover comes from when the Lord told Moses to tell the Israelites to mark their doors with lambs blood so the lord will 'pass over' you when he strikes on every first born in the land of Egypt. Do your research next time CBS.
