As you share this Passover,

With family and friends,

I want you to know that I am thinking of you,

And wishing you a holiday..

Filled with an abundance of..

Peace, happiness and love..

Not only at this time,

But always.

And although we may be spending...

This holiday apart,

I want you to know..

We will be together this Passover..

Together....In my heart..

HAPPY PASSOVER!!

Story of Passover

Thousands of years ago, in the land of Egypt,

when the great Emperor Pharoh ruled,

one of the greatest miracles came to pass.

Our story begins when the princess daughter of the Pharoh

saw a beautiful child contained in a basket

and floating in the Nile River.

She saved the child and brought him up as a young prince.

He was given the name Moses because he came to her

from the water.

The grandchildren of the Twelve tribes of Israel

were made to be slaves and laborers for the Pharoh

and were being tortured.

Prince Moses grew up and and he learned that he too

was an Israelite and saw his people were suffering.

Moses, along with his brother Aaron went to the Pharoh

and pleaded to let their people go.

The Pharoh said he would kill all first born male sons.

Moses stated to the Pharoh that God

will send his anger upon him, the land and the sea.

Moses then spread the word to place blood

on the front door of each Jewish home,

so that God would pass over

the smiting of the first borns.

Thus became the name of our holiday Passover.

Moses set our people free and led an Exodus...

into the Sinai Desert and, after traveling 40 years,

they arrived at the Promised Land

which is Israel as we know it today.

We mark each year with the celebration of Passover

from escaping slavery to a life of freedom

and having a country to call their own.
