Tyler WE 5-9470 or WE 3-4898, 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 m b be a rei der of a ing the door on the night of o describ•a trade n that custom mentioned by Jo e s and temple wh eby the riests existed in the days o the gates of the temple at midnight would throw open eve of the Pass Why is customary to pour droplets p of •eciting each plague during eder? wine whe ure of ejoicing.

'11 others claim that the drops represent the 16 people who called to the Torah ring the week (seven on Saturday and n on the three casions during the week at which e are call three p up). It is also claimed that the 16 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.
