The Story of One Haggadah

This Guest Post was written by Dr. Afshine Emrani  on his Facebook feed about a Haggadah that has been a part of his life for the last half a century. In his own words, Dr. Emrani, shared the essence of Passover. Fifty-five years ago, my father worked with Russian engineers to perfect …

Pesach…The Holiday of the Spring

Pesach. Passover. The Holiday of the Spring. What is this thing all about? We were slaves in ancient Egypt. God took us out. He split the sea. We were born as a nation. So many monumental events surrounding this holiday, and what do we remember? What do we call it? …
