Passover Traditions
A Happy Passover to Our Friends and Patrons
By RABBI SAMUEL J. FOX
MOY'S KITCHEN
(Copyright, 1961, Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Inc.)
Why is the door thrown open right after the meal during
the recital of the last part of the Haggadah?
The door is customarily opened during the reciting of the
passage which begins "pour out Thy wrath, etc. . . ." Some
claim that it is done to indicate our trust in the Almighty. An
open door is a sign of confidence and trust that no danger
will enter the house. A closed door is usually indicative of the
desire to prevent any unwanted visitor for fear of danger. The
reason for doing this especially on Passover night, is the fact
that Passover eve was known as "Lel Shimmurim" (Exodus
12:42: the eve of watchfulness) which recalled that it was. on
this night that the Almighty watched over the houses of Israel
while the Angel of Death was taking his toll of the Egyptian
first-born. To reconfirm our faith that the Almighty still watches
over us, we throw open the door on this night.
Others claim the door is thrown open as an indication of
our faith in the coming of the Messiah who is supposed to
come to deliver Israel at this season. Opening the door at this
time shows that we still have confidence in his coming and
that our door is ever open to receive him. Some claim that this
ceremony originated in the days of persecution when informers
would lurk in the doorways to watch what the Jews were doing.
The door is thus' thrown open to catch these informers and to
show them that we had nothing to be ashamed of or to fear
that open-
for what we were doing that night. It i

drops rep 6 lambs offered on the altar during the
week in the • ays of the temple (i.e. one every morning, one
every evening and two extra ones on the Sabbath). Some claim
that -the 16 drops represent the 16 faces of certain angels, of
the sword of the Angel of Death or of the sword of the
Almighty.
Why is a speeial sandwich made out of the Matzoh and
the Bitter Herbs and then eaten after each of them has been
consumed separately?
The reason for this is contained in the Haggadah itself
and is recited just before this sandwich is eaten. This is served
as a memorial of the practice of Hillel who would do this in
order to obey what he considered to be a Biblical command to
eat them both together, as based on a verse which reads "Upon
Matzoh and Meronim (bitter herbs) shall they eat it (the Paschal
Lamb) (Exodus 12:8). It was thus Hillel's practice to eat all
three things together, the Pascal Lamb, the Matzoh and the
Bitter Herbs.
Now that we do not have the Paschal Lamb we at least eat
the Matzoh and the Bitter Herbs together. Since we follow the
practice of the majority of scholars and eat them separately at
first, we later eat them together, to show that if it is really true
that Hillel was correct, we have observed his practice likewise, so
that all possibilities have been exhausted. It is for this reason that
the special proclamation was added so that no one would think
we were adding unnecessarily to the ritual of the evening.
