Relax, socialize and meet new friends while exploring the practical and Prison Break New Series “Bread Crumbs” Led by Rabbi Binyamin Levin First Class Free Everyone knows that we eat matzah on Passover because in their haste to leave Egypt the Jewish people did not have time for the dough to rise. But why do we raise the broken matzah at the beginning of the Seder and pro claim: “This is the plain, poor bread our parents ate in the land of Egypt”? A midrash tells us that the Egyptians would feed matzah to the Jewish slaves because it was more filling than bread and took longer to digest. This raises an interesting question: Is matzah a symbol of freedom or of slavery? The answer is “both.” The com mentaries say that two of the laws of making matzah allude to this dichotomy: 1) Matzah that is kosher for Passover has to be baked within 18 minutes from when the flour is mixed with the water. The haste of this time limit relates to the aspect of freedom. 2) The matzah for the Seder can con sist only of flour and water with no other added ingredients such as fruit juice or eggs. This require ment relates to the aspect of the “plain, poor bread” of slavery. To carry this dichotomy a step further, the Maharal of Prague called Passover the “holiday of opposites.” Just like one cannot H A R L 0 T T Tbrah El I E Beth Shalom Sponsors “Glee Purim Prom” Sunday, March 20, 5:30 PM The Springhill Suites in Ballantyne 12325 Johnston Road $15 per person or $45 per fam ily (includes dinner and all activi ties) For more info or to RSVP con tact Rabbi Yisroel and Leah Levin 704-246-8881 or Leah@Jewish Ballantyne.com or visit our web site www.JewishBallantyne.com Looking forward to seeing you there. ^ Event to Take Place at River Run Country Club on March 19 at 8 PM Beth Shalom of Lake Norman (www.bslkn.org) announced the details of its upcoming Glee- themed Purim Prom, to be held on Saturday, March 19 at 8 PM at the River Run Country Club in Davidson, NC.
