Jewish Congregations to Celebrate the Historic Feast of the Passover j The historic Festival of Passover, | Which coincides somewhat with thei beginning of the spring season, will be celebrated in Harrisburg ttyis, evening by all Jewish houses of wor ship. It will continue for seven] days on the part of the reformed ad-1 herents and for oight days by the | Orthodox Jews. The services begini precisely at sunset in the synagogues, Chisuk Emuna, Sixth and For ster, Rabbi Morris Rumanoff, the Rev. M. Abramson; Kesher Israel, Rabbi L. Silver; Ohev Slolom Tem ple, Rabbi Louis J. Haas. The Passover commemorates Is-' rael's delivery from Egyptian slav ery. In the Jewish calendar, its date is fixed from the loth to the 22nd' of Nissan, which this year, corres ponds with March 28 to April 4. i Another name for this annual cele bration of freedom is the Festival of Matzoth (unleavened bread), be cause throughout the feast only un leavened bread Is to be eaten. In fact, all food substitutes that con tain ferment or acid must be re moved from Jewish homes prior to the holidays, so that there will bo no likelihood of transgressing the Bi blical injunction against leaven be ing found in the use. ' The evening of the first and sec ond days is characterized by a spe cial service called the Seder, in real ity a meal after oriental fashion. The rich symbolism of this meal Is to be explained as follows: The roast ed lambbone is reminiscent of the Passover sacrifice; the "matzoth" or unleavened bread recalls the hate with which the Israelites left Egypt, with no time to prepare the bread for the journey; the "maror" or bit ter herb reminds of the bitterness of the slaves' life in Egypt. Thero are also at the festive board a roasted egg which is substituted for the an cient. sacrifice, salt water, suggestive of the tears shed by the slave an cestors of the Israelites, and "haro seth," a mixture of almonds and apples, not unlike in appearance to the mortar which the slaves used in making bricks.
