the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel
celebrate Passover today as i t '
was observed thousands of year ,
ago. On the eve of the festival
they assemble on Mt. Gerizim
attired in long, white, flowing
gowns and with due pomp an i
ceremony, sacrifice the pascha I
lamb. A true description of thi
service as it is now enacted b r
the Samaritans is contained i 1
the Bible ts el f . "They shall take ?
to them every man a lamb,
lamb for a household . . . anc
the whole assembly of the con
gregation of Israel shall kill ii ;
at dusk . . . and thus shall y
eat it; with your loins girded
your shoes on your feet 'anc
your staff in your hand; anc [
ye shall eat it in haste .
Thousands of Jews from ali
parts of the world come to vies
this strange spectacle.

At the conclusion of the sede r
service, each male Jew of Mo-
rocco places a staff and,.pat
over his shoulder and rushes
into the street shouting these
words of the Haggadah: "In this
manner ou_ forefathers went out
to Egypt, their kneading troughs
bound up in their clothes upon
their shoulders."

One of last year's GI seders in
Europe made history when JWB
and Chaplaii, Herbert Sperling
obtained the use of Blirgerbrau
Service Club in Munich, Ger-
many, the very building in
which Hitler had launched his
Nazi putsch in 1923.

In the days of the Talmud, it
was customary to make matzos
in different artistic shapes and
figures. These forms were not
approved by many authorities as
it necessitated allowing the
dough to stand longer which .
might cause fermentation. While
the original purpose of perforat
ing matzo was to prevent it
from rising, in many instances
the perforations were utilized to
form figures of animals and
flowers.

When an enterprising young
recruit at the Marine Corps Re-
cruit Station, Parris Island, S.C.,
returned the Afikomen to Chap-
lain Hillel -Silverfhan after the
seder meal, he requested—and
was granted—a unique reward
from "the father of the house-
hold"—in this case the com-
manding general who was pres-
ent at the seder. The recruit's
request was a ten - day furlough.

Caucasian Jews observe the
seder ceremony with a unique
custom. Several families assem-
ble together in the home of their
Chatham (Wise Man.) In the
midst of the service, an impres-
sive dramatization is enacted ...
A knocking, made by one of the
young men masquerading as a
poor traveller from the Holy
Land, is• heard at the door.
When no a. nswer is forthcoming,
the young man calls and asks
for permission to enter. Follow-
ing a livelr conversation in
which the traveller gives evi-
dence of the fact that he is a
Jew, he is admitted into the
room. He' brings hearty greet-.
ings from the sages of Jerusalem
and assures the gathering of the
speedy redemption of all Israel.
Sales of matzos are a good
index to the rise and decline of
Jewish p o p . 11 atio n, matzo
manufacturers claim. Matzo-
bakers cite their sales figures
for various communities, states
and even foreign countries as
evidence of the movement of
Jewish population.

"Chad Gadya," the concluding
hymn- of the Haggadah, written
in Aramaic, served to interest
children as it .s written in the
same style as the nursery rhyme,
"This is the house that Jack
built."
*
Another song of the Hagga-
dah begins with: "Who knows
one? J know one: One is the
Eternal, who is above heaven
anc. earth," and continues ask-
ing and answering questions up
to 13. It is said that this
was written especially as a chil-
dren's song, to keep them inter-
ested in the Seder towards its
end.
