Passover Season To Open This Evening

By LOUIS CASSELS United Press International “Why is this night different from all other nights’” That question will be asked in millions of .Jewish homes this evening. Tradition decrees that it be asked by the youngest son of the family. It is answered by the head of the family retelling the story of the Exodus — the mighty act of deliverance by which God brought the children of Israel out of bondage in Egypt. The question and answer are part of the Seder, a home worship service which opens the annual observance of the eight-day Passover season. The Seder is probably the oldest continually observed religious ritual in the world. It has been celebrated for more than 3,000 years. The service is built around a festive meal in which every dish has a symbolic significance. Use Special Dishes The Seder table is spread before dark, with the finest linens and best silver that the home can provide. Many families have special sets of dishes which are used only once a year, during the Passover. At sundown, the mother lights candles on the table, and all members of the family gather around. The head of the family opens the ceremony by raising a cup of wine, as in a toast, and pronouncing an ancient blessing: “Praised art Thou, o Lord our God, ruler of the universe, who hast chosen us from all people and singled us out from among men. . .for Thy service.” Altogether, four glasses of wine

ball last Christmas. The Teamsters Union struck the two papers, with a combined circulation of about 700,000, late on Nov. 29, and was quickly followed by the Newspaper Guild. The guild was the first striking union to settle with the publishers on new contracts, although other unions reached agreement first. Five unions struck the papersThe last of the 11 unions to settle were the printers and machinists, who ratified contracts last Thursday. The bannered story on the front page was a discussion of the strike by Vail, in which he expressed gratitude for the end of the strike. “Like the long cold winter, our strike is over,.” Vail wrote. “We are here again to bring you the news, the features, the advertisements, the comics, and all the many things that go to make a newspaper such a vital and interesting part of our daily lives. The past is behind us.” The lead editorial noted the city has the “dubious distinction of having suffered through the nation’s longest newspaper blackout.” The editorial Said the strike might have lasted longer if it were not for the “valiant efforts” of Locher. The mayor entered the strike talks in January. Complete Naval Recruit Training Kenneth W. Diehl, 19, son of Mr. and Mrs. Forel D. Diehl of Preble, and Michael D. Harris, 19, son of Mr. and Mrs. Bernard D. Harris of Monroe, recently completed recruit training at the Naval Training Center, Great Lakes, 111.

are drunk during the meal. They recall God’s four promises to Moses that the Israelites would be freed from captivity. Other ingredients of the Seder feast include: —Matzoth, or unleavened bread, which is a reminder that the Israelites had to flee Egypt so hastily that they had no time to bake regular bread but were compelled to subsist on flat unleavened loaves sun-baked on desert rocks. —Bitter herbs (usually a piece of horse radish) to recall the bitterness of a slave’s life in Egypt. —Charoses, a mixture of apples, nuts, cinnamon and wine, which symbolizes the mortar which the Jews used to make bricks for the pharaoh during their days of captivity. The Haggadah emphasizes the importance of a sense of personal involvement in the great act of deliverance commemorated by the Passover“In every generation,” says one passage, “each Jew should regard himself as though he too were brought out of Egypt. Not our fathers alone, but us also, did the Holy One redeem; for not alone in Egypt but in many other lands, have we groaned under the burden of affliction and suffered as victims of malice, ignorance and fanaticism.” ■ Another sense in which the Passover has a personal, here-and-now significance for religious Jews was cited in a holiday statement by Emil H. Baar, chairman of the board of trustees of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations. In annually recalling the story of the Exodus, he said, “the Jew continuously reaffirms his belief that God is not indifferent or insensitive to his world and his people. "The message of Passover is the message that God operates in and through history. It is essentially a message of hope. What happens to us in this world is not a cycle of events ending in a cypher. Man is not an expendable cog in a cosmic machine. Man is a meaningful, sacred entity.”
