THE LIVING TRADITION jsP- ,

When our people were slaves in

Egypt, God sent hvm¯ to lead us

out of Egypt to freedom. We
celebrate this event each spring

with the festival of jsP- ., Every
year we retell the js-P, story

when we read the haggadah.

1 Everyone was in a hurry to leave Egypt and did not have time to wait for the bread
dough to rise. My dough hardened into a flat, crunchy kind of bread.

Who am I?
2 I am the greens on the seder plate. I represent springtime and new life. I am dipped

into salt water to remind us of the tears we cried when we were slaves.

Who am I?
3 I taste bitter. I am a reminder of our bitter lives as slaves. Who am I?
4 I remind everyone of the bricks we had to make when we were slaves in Egypt.

Who am I?

5 I am a sweet liquid. I am poured into a glass four times during the seder. Each of the
four times reminds us of God’s four promises to bring us from slavery to freedom.

Who am I?

THE LIVING TRADITION rp„; v

The rp„; v is made from a ram’s horn.

When it is blown, it makes a loud

trumpeting sound. We blow the rp„; v

on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. In

ancient times the rp„; v was blown to

announce the beginning of Shabbat. The
Bible tells us it was sounded at Mount
Sinai when we were given God’s Torah
and we promised to obey God’s
commandments. When we hear the

sound of the rp„; v today, it reminds us

that we must keep that promise always.

THE LIVING TRADITION μyyIj- ≈[e

A tree of life—μyyjI - ≈[e—is one of the
symbols of the hr„: T. In fact, the two
wooden rollers around which the hr„: T
scroll is wrapped are called μyyjI - yxe[—≠
trees of life. The hr„: T is like a tree

because just as a tree is strong and offers
food, so too the Torah gives the Jewish
people strength and nourishes our souls.

Hebrew alphabet. The second letter in the

Hebrew alphabet is tyBe. That is why the
name of the Hebrew alphabet is tyBe πla, .;

Hebrew word. When we know the letters of

the tyBe πl,a,; we can read Hebrew words,

we can study the Torah, and we can pray

from a rWdsi.
