Israel Sephardic Passover Ritual By NISSIM HAYWARD Midrash Od Yosef Hai, Los Angeles The following are some of the ways the traditions of Passover, known as "Shabat Sephardim" differ from the Ashkenazic tradition: • On the Sabbath before Passover, known as "Shabat Hagadol," it is not the Sephardic custom to read selections from the Hag- gada. • On the eve of Passover, the statement of nullifica- tion made after the search for leaven is repeated three times. The same procedure is followed in the morning after the leaven has been removed. • At the Seder, Romaine lettuce is used for "maror" (bitter herbs) but not horseradish. • There are many cus- toms attached to the "afikoman." The custom of Baghdad, Iraq (one of the oldest Jewish communities __of the Diaspora) is as fol- lows: Right in Your Own Driveway!

The father then askes him in Arabic, "Where are you coming from?" and the son answers in Hebrew, from Egypt." Father continues: "Where are you going?" and he says, "To Yerushalayim." Father adds: "And what are your provisions?" and he recites "Ma Nishtana." At the conclusion of the recita- tion father wraps the "afikoman" on the back of his youngest son, thus mak- ing him feel important and interested to stay awake at the Seder. The above procedure is followed by the com- munities of Syrian and Yemenite Jews with slight variations. The custom of the Jews from Yugoslavia is to pass the Seder plate over the heads of all the members of the household while the "Ma Nishtana" is being recited. • The order of the four questions for Sephardim is as follows: Why do we dip twice? Why do we only eat matza? Why do we eat bitter herbs? Why do we all eat re- clining? • Most Sephardim do not have a separate cup of wine for the prophet Elijah but the Bukharian Jews fill a separate cup at the begin- ning of the Seder and divide its contents among the members of the household when they prepare to drink the fourth cup of wine. Passion may be blind; but to say that love is, is a libel and a lie. Nothing is more sharp-sighted or sensitive than true love, in discern- ing, as by an instinct, the feelings of another. — W.H. Davis government plans call for an eventual 5,000 families on the site, not far from Bethlehem. Another of the leaders, Sarah Craimer, of the American Mizrachi- affiliated group of 85 families headed for Maale Adumin, stated that the new town "will help maintain Jerusalem as a united city with a large Jewish majority — the eternal capital of Is- rael. Our homes will lit- erally form the eastern bulwark of the city, a link in the continuous chain of new neighborhoods and satelite towns which is rapidly being built around the north, east and south sides of Jerusalem." Jim Bennett, a spokes- man for the Israel Aliya Center which organizes the immigration of American and Canadian Jews, com- mented that the aliya cen- ters "are giving full assis- tance to the settlement groups' recruiting efforts." Sidney Greenwald, chairman of the Or Hashalom (Light of Peace) group, which is also settling in Maale Adumim, stated on behalf of his 253-family organization "I am con- vinced that there are lieterlly thousands more across the country who are interested in settling in Judea and Samaria."
