spies would break into the
homes of the Jews. And when
matzos were found in a man's
house he wasarrested at once
and tortured until he admitted
that he was a secret Jew. As
a result, the Jews decided to
make Passover a "postponed"
holiday, beginning it two days
late, in order thus to avoid the
clutches of the Inquisition. This
custom of "postponement" per-
sisted until the present, when
there is no longer anything to
fear.

DEPENDS

ON YOU

That little youngster of yours---so innocent, so
trystful, so unaware of the struggles he must one
day face.

•

Not many years hence he is going to be a big strap-
ping fellow. Will he then be able to enter college,
or must he start the long, uphill struggle trying to
carve out a future for himself in competition with
others better equipped? By investing just a few
dollars a year now you can provide him with the
capital he will likely require for a successful start.
Without this capital he may be forced to struggle
through life at a job for which he has no liking.

On the third night of the
Passover week, everyone goes
in secret to the house of the
head of the community. In this
house a freshly calcomined
oven stands ready. All the
women are dressed in holiday
clothes and the men are
wrapped about with white
sheets, to recall the white linen
ceremonial robes their ances-
tors wore to the Seder.

Now is the time to plan for his start—through a
GREAT•VEST Child's Policy. It provides the funds

to pay his way through college, or to launch him
in business or professional life. It also provides
insurance to cover the intervening years.

Get the facts regarding this policy now.

Passover Among
"Forgotten Jews"

A Marano. Omen
Each person brings along
some olive twigs. These are
thrown into the stove and
kindled. Then the women
knead the dough of the "holy
bread," as the Maranos desig-
nate the matzos. While the
women are kneading the dough,
the men begin the prayers.
When the dough is ready,
each person takes a bit of it
and casts it into the fire. This
ceremony is a remnant of the
ancient rite of bread-offering.
The Marano whose bit of dough
is quickly consumed is happy,
for this is a good omen.

A truly fine suit of clothes not only pays

it reaction on the wearer.
Any new suit of clothes can look well

as well as for beauty of coloring and

The prayer which accom-
panies this ceremony is inter-
esting. It begins with the
words: "Samua, take it away,
take it to feed the sinful."
What the word "Samua" aig-
nifies, nobody knows. Some
scholars say that it is an invita-
tion of the Satan, Samuel; and
still others think it is the Ara-
male word for "heaven".
After the matzos have been
baked, each person in the as-
semblage takes his share, which
is placed in a clean sheet. The
people all wish each other a
"safe" Passover, exchange
kisses, and go home. (The wish
for "safety" probably dates
back to the time when it was
necessary to hope that all would
elude the spies of the Inquisi-
tion.)
During the remaining six
days of Passover, everyone eats
matzos. No meat is eaten, re-
calling the fact that the Mar-
anos of old were determined
not to eat unclean meat on
Passover, and in order to keep
this resolve elected to eat no
meat at all.

Fight Against Traditions

According to what Dr. Ezriel
Karlbach tells us in his book,
'Exotic Jews," the Maranos no
longer know anything of con-
ducting the Seder ceremony or
of reciting the llaggada, etc.
Judaism plays no part in their
lives. All that remains is the
tradition of celebrating Pass-
over. All the priests know they
do this and combat it, but to
no avail. In the same way they
have been vainly fighting for
hundreds of years against other
Jewish traditions which the
peasants observe to this very
day, such as salting meat, bak-
ing chaleh for Friday, and ob-
serving the seven day period of
mourning.
The church has practically
given up the hope of eradicat-
ing these remnants of the an-
cient Jewish community. It
takes no notice of it and even
raises children of the "Jewish
street" to the highest offices of
the Catholic Church. Not very
long ago the church beatified
■ nun whose name was Perez.
A Minister'. Statement
The new Minister of the In-
terior of the Spanish Republic,
Miguel Mauro, a child of one of
the five families left in the
Jewish quarter of Mallorca,
only recently boasted in Parlia-
ment that he was a Marano.
When, after the revolution, a
priest attacked him because of
his Jewish descent, the well-
known Socialist leader replied:
"It is true that I am a Mar-
ano, one who eats pork. My
grandfathers ate pork publicly
in order to show that they were
no longer Jews. During my
youth, I myself would set pots
containing pork before the door
of our house. But I give you
my word of honor that neither
I nor any of the other Marano'
knew the significance of all
this. We thought it an incom-
prehensible ceremony apd could
not understand why our fathers
commanded us to observe it."
From all this, the most tragic
chapter of the history of Spain
can be read. The Jews were
so persecuted, every vestige of
Jewish culture wu so thorough-
ly, erased from their memories
that the very masquerading u
a Christian became a sort of
religion. There wu so much
torture for eating kosher meat
that the eating of unclean meat
