Visit with Gen. Aladeen in Israel
By Tom O'Loughlin
My friend: General Aladeen
General Aladdin is not the best friend one could ask for. He does not like Americans very much except for me for some reason. Aladeen is tall, has black hair, a long black beard, only wears gold, and is a really arrogant guy. He invited me to stay at his palace in his home state of The Republic of Wadiyah but we spent most of our time in Israel as my stay was during the time of Passover and all his friends resides there. His family's whereabouts are unknown and it is suspected that Aladeen has something to do with their disappearance.
Passover
In ancient times, the Jewish people were slaves in Egypt. Passover serves as a celebratory festival for their liberation from slavery under the leadership of Moses. This celebration occurs on the 15th day of the Hebrew calendar month Nisan, which is equivalent the beginning of April.
Passover Celebrations:
Matzah
According to the writing of the Exodus, matzah bread is said to be one of the only foods available to the people during the Exodus. It is referred to as the, "Bread of Affliction."
Sedar Plate
Maror - Bitter herb that symbolizes the harshness of slavery
Charoset - Sweet brown mixture that symbolizes the mortar used by the Slaves to build pyramids
Karpas - A vegetable that is dipped into salt water to mirror the pain felt by the Slaves
Z'roa - Boned meat that is not eaten symbolizing the sacrifice of the lamb at a Temple in Jerusalem
Beitzah - Hard-boiled egg which symbolizes the mourning of slavery
Matzot - 3 pieces of Matzah bread mocking the yeast's bread eaten by the Hebrews during the Exodus
Sedar Book
The book passed around at family dinner that tells the story of the Exodus and why Passover is celebrated.
